I went with a stereotypical tortoise shell that one might have drawn as a child. What species do you think it is? Anyone who knows tortoises well would say "that tortoise has pyramiding!" 😂 This tattoo took about 7 hours and boy was it agonizing! Pinch yourself in the crease of your elbow. It...

Hey Everybody, It has been years since I last posted on this forum. I still have Wally, my female sulcata. She weighs about 55 pounds now. Today I noticed drops of blood around the patio area where she likes to walk around and sun. It appears that she has either cut herself, torn, or worn away...

Hey everyone, Here is wallie after several years! I like to go get a 2 stringer of alfalfa hay. Wallie can eat from the blocks I break off, but I also spend quite a bit of time separating out all the really tough straw that comes with it. She'll graze on this as well as the clover on the other...

Hey Tortoise Forum! I haven't been on in a long time. Here is Wallie Boy! He is getting big. This was a goofy Christmas card I made with my Mother and Wallie.

My roommate has been spraying his redfoot very frequently with normal tap water and the poor fella's shell is absolutely dulled from all the hard water buildup. he has now stopped doing that. I have tried scrubbing the buildup off, but it is really caked on there. I want to use something acidic...

Haven't been on the forum in quite a long time, mainly because I don't own a computer, but most importantly. Wallie is doing great! gettin to be bigger than my hand. very minimal pyramiding, but hes been in great health, rompin outside and playin with his buddy leo the redfoot from time to time...

I love him so much, but I only have room for one tortoise in the coming school year so I've decided to keep my sulcata... Sgt. Pepper is a Year old Redfoot, excellent health :] Just PM me and we can discuss further.

fruit flies? they look like them...there is no fruit though. there was some a while back that brought a couple flies with it and now its rediculous...the little flies are buzzing all around the substrate...countless flies... do I have to change my substrate?...its fresh too I just put it in a...

I'm leaving on a week long trip with a friend and he is leaving his greek tortoise with my sulcata for the week. I know you arent spposed to mix species, but its the only way my parent can take care of both tortoises........ a greek and sulcata should do fine for a week together...yes?

So in 10 years...when Wallie is starting to get huge, will I still have all all of you to still brag to? Will this place be up and runing still in 10 years? 15? 20?

alright you tell me whats wrong here. hes on cypress mulch. I pour water over it every other day. it stay a good78-83 degrees. He has a basking spot up to 95, and a uvb. I let him graze on grass and clover that is a tortoise seed mix, and about 3-4 days I feed him some spring mix with a...

So whats everyone think about this swine flu thing? My school just got closed down untill the may 11th. Its getting rediculous. over reaction? much... >_> party time. :]

Alright, so I've been growing this tortoise mix of grasses and clovers for wall-e in this large plastic tub. Its eccentially an outdoor enclosure. I put a large screen on top that is secured to keep dogs and what not out. He got a hide and good placement for sunlight. The only thing that I was...

I was driving home from church today and found a good size cooter, maybe 9-10 inches basking in the center of my subdivision road. I stopped the car and was pretty sure he was in good health cause that sucker was powerful. I only have tortoises so I had no idea how strong large turtles were. I...

How many calories would an adult sulcata consume daily? Tell me what you think. maybe even yearling and in between.

Hey everyone! I'm moving away from using the plastic container. Here are some picture of the completed table I built using recycled wood (besides the table tops). Anyways I am actually making the "enclosures" out of plywood and I think I may need some kind of water barrier; a tarp of sorts to go...

He's had the runs for about 2 days now and he is acting a bit sluggish. I feed him spring mix dusted with repcal. He has a water dish. And the only thing different lately is the new substrate of cypress mulch. Could the spring mix be the problem?

Anyways my name is Dutton, Im 16, live in Texas. I have two tortoises... wall-e a sulcata and Sgt. Pepper a redfoot. kind of uninspired right now because my tortoise enclosure is not the best. I think I may sell my redfoot. Contact me if you're interested.

Alright. I have two tortoises. A Sulcata and Redfoot. I kept them both on sand and peat moss. It worked great, but it caused so much dust in my room and i feared impaction, so I switched over to rabbit pellets. The rabbit pellets are awesome except that my redfoot eats them and they are very...
