Hi there,
Just curious if my tortoises are already big enough to tell their gender. What do you think guys? I have measured them, and their carapaces were about 9 inches long.

Hi there,
I've just made a time lapse video of my Sulcata tortoise's behavior. Five hours of footage were speeded up 64x times! The result is a 4min time lapse video. In the upper left you can see the record time.
I used a Foscam IP Camera (FI9831W) for recording it.
You can watch it...
Hi there,

Here is some information:
Tim is 3.3" and weighs 139 grams
Tess is 2.8" and weighs...

Hi!
My name is Menno, and I am new here. I am from Holland, so I do not speak English very well! ;-)
I have my 2 sulcatas now for thee days. They are 16months right now. Both are sleeping quite often, and they do not eat much. One of them is all the time rubbing his eye on his front legs...
