Ok, so time got away from me and I'm quite late in posting this, but June 19th was my precious girl's birthday (adoption day really, she's pet store bought). This marks 2 years she's been my little buddy. Here are some pictures of her with her birthday watermelon.
Here are some pictures of my precious girl, Themistocles. Looks like it's been a while since I put some up.

And from this past Sunday:
She's doing great!
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate topic, especially as I realize I'm not the most frequent of posters. But being shy and introverted is part of who I am, so reaching out wherever and however I can is important for me to try. So, here goes.
Being single around the holidays has really...
Cliff Lee signing with the Phillies !?!?!?
I am legitimately surprised by this. Still digesting what I think about it.
Elsewhere, its more of the usual from my hometown Cubs. The big offseason signing is a guy who hit like .198 last year. I'm already looking into a bandwagon to jump on...
Is there a good/best way to serve Pumpkin to my precious? Or is raw ok?
I don't cook much for myself even, so I couldn't say how to prepare it at all really.
Thanks,

I made her a tortoise version strawberry shortcake birthday cake. The "cake" was canteloupe then actual strawberries...
Something of a bittersweet story on the recent cold snap. Mostly a happy ending, focusing on the return of rescued turtles. There's some video and pics.

Anyone have experience or opinion using this as a substrate for Redfoots? I'd be using it with Sphag moss also.

Here are some pictures from one of Themistocles outdoor days. I try to get her outside at least once a week and one of my New Year's Resolutions is to get her a more permanent outdoor enclosure, since I live in Florida and all.
The fourth pic is an indoor one. I give her a cuttlebone at...
Whats a rough idea of a good temperature for the area the little guy spends most of his time in?
I have a 125 gallon tank thats basically divided into thirds. Right now, he spends almost all of his time in his "hide" (plastic hollow half lug tortoise hut), which is on the left third of the...
Hi all, just got my first pet ever, a wonderul Redfoot Tortoise, from Pet Smart, this past Friday. His name is Themistocles. I won't call myself a pet owner cause he's my little buddy.
He spent most of his first few days here just hiding away and I was pretty worried about him. Not so much...
