This is my first winter with tortoises/turtles. The two I purchased earlier in the year do not "hybernate," but I acquired a 3-toed boxie from a friend that didn't want her anymore. She has stopped eating, but she seems to be awake part of the day and moves around the enclosure, changing her...

I hope this is a good place to throw a question in. I have been caring for a friend's DT for about four or five months now. It was almost two years old and they were given the little tortoise with no instructions on how to care for it. When they asked if I could "take a look at him," I noticed...

Noah is adorable!!! What is he?

"Petunia" African Spurred (G. sulcata)

Wow, I'm a little teary eyed. I think she's beautiful! Looking forward to hearing how she is doing at her new home!!

She is beautiful!!

Popped into the tortoise room to grab something and caught Petunia in mid-bite, like she was doing something bad. Had to take a picture and share...

And a little handout they got! I can't say no to those faces!

Here is a link to some of my pics of the spiders. Glad you're interested - they are amazing creatures. (Which is why we named our website Amazing Tarantulas!) http://s901.photobucket.com/albums/ac217/rwfoss/Tarantulas/ http://www.amazingtarantulas.com

Just got back from the American Tarantula Society's 12th annual conference in Oro Valley, AZ. Thought I'd post some pictures of my eight legged friends here... http://s901.photobucket.com/albums/ac217/rwfoss/Tarantulas/

The wife and I were feeding our tarantulas tonight, who happen to be housed in the same room as our torts. Of course, whenever I'm in the room and NOT paying them attention, they come out to pose. Daisy was pacing around, watching us closely.

Sharstar, what part of AZ are you in? Carla, my torts and I are in Florence (north of downtown in the Anthem community). Had Petunia (my sulcata) out yesterday and found her by the back door. First time she's done that. "OK, I'm ready to come inside!" Love seeing pics of RV - he's a beautiful...

Is there a link to this care sheet? I should be getting a hatchling in the next few months, if all things work out!![hr] Nevermind...just found it.

I have tho torts and a boxie, and yes, I have named them. However, I used to have a large collection of tarantulas. I started naming them, but after a while, it became too much. It's not like they will ever recognize their name. So I wouldn't worry about naming if you don't want to.

Hmmm, maybe I didn't set up for registration. I'll check when I get home!

Thanks! The websites are so easy to use now that it didn't take much skill! I got Petunia from a local reptile shop. They hadn't had her for very long and didn't have information from her previous owner about age. They were guessing with 1.5 years old. If that's accurate, she will be two this...

Yeah, Nelson pics!!

With nothing to do on Saturday, I created a little website for my torts/turtle. Just a little place to post some information, but mostly photos and videos. http://tortoises.webs.com/

He is doing really well. If he is away, he will come out from under his hide if he hears you, hoping you have food. I truly think his shell has hardened up quiet a bit since he's been with us. It is still not as hard as it should be, but he is looking and acting so much better. I'm gonna miss...
