Ok so I emailed and she said He is 5 ish and the owner before her did not have him hibernate so he is much larger than he should be. He looks much older, all i know is I will do my best to take care of him

I dont know how he got here, but the ladies son talked about having them (not this one) since 1982 in Idaho

I am living in Idaho, last week it was 16 degrees on the way to work a few times with the day time high never hitting 40. Although this week is a bit warmer. I can not tell you where he was hibernating before, but I am guessing the little guy woke up and moved around and she called that...

I do not know why he is awake so early. That was a question I had as well. He does have an outdoor habitat that I had last year for my Greek but I am gonna make a new one for her. It seems very cold outside during the night, still dropping below 20 degrees.

I was offered the chance to take care of this desert tortoise from a lady who had him a few years and as long as I can give him a good home I can have him. She said he has just woke up from hibernation and I am trying to set up his indoor enclosure until it gets warmed up. He is a good sized...

I would like to know if anyone could tell me which subspecies my girl is? Thanks

Here in Idaho it was been pretty dreary and I am not a winter person at all, but yesterday my fish in the pond were a bit more active and swimming around and it is near 50 degrees with the sun shining! Summer could not come too soon, I also want to get my torts back outside and the dogs running...

I have seen my female greek do this when inside for the winter, but once outside with room she was fine.

I am fairly new to tortoise, but two years ago when I first got my Greek it seemed to have similar problems, (loose stool, and such) and I did just what they are saying, changed diet and kept her hydrated, and it went a way quite fast and she is doing great! good luck

And to add to this post, I have recently been asked if I wanted to take a 10" Desert Tortoise, and I would love to. This summer I was going to start my search for a burmese mountain tortoise, when I get a little bit more set up outside. But if I should house every tortoise species seperate...

Hey everyone, I have a question that I feel I know the answer, but here goes; I read alot about housing different species together is very bad, (parasites and such). I have talked to the vet as well about this and he seemed to think here in Idaho where the weather gets cold and warm and...

So are there many differences between the Brown and Black mountain tortoises?

Ha that is great, looks how my Italian greyhound does begging to get in my lap

I like the head of these guys. So they do come towards you like the redfoots do. I was set on a leopard, but really like the sound of these guys. Either way I have some work to do before I am ready to have another tortoise that grows so large. Slightly off subject, but are yearlings any...

Hi everyone I would like to know what people think of the Burmese mountain tortoises? Like the personality, size, (compared to leopard they seem to Be similar in size?), and maybe just personal stories. I have wanted a leopard tortoise, and a lot of that was they are spectacular looking...

Ha, yeah I was wondering about the name myself. I like the name Sherwin because it means swift....(which she is not at all). I might have to think about the name. Any guess as to the subspecies?

So here is her carapace

Close up of their tales.... well kinda chuck would not put his tail out

Well very cool, thanks guys!
