    Scared the crap out of me

    I think I saw mentioned somewhere that covering them with a towel can reduce stress. I'm going to try that next time.

    Scared the crap out of me

    Just a funny story for you all: I was driving my big guy to the vet for a checkup (he's in great shape :) ) and I had my guy in a tote next to me in the passenger seat. The sound he made scared the crap out of me. I looked over expecting to see Chewbacca next to me because I swear that's the...

    Do you like to talk on the phone?

    Texts are easier for me because I have 3 kids, so I can tend to them between texts and text back whenever I have a free moment. Phone calls take up the majority of my attention and it's hard to fill sippy cups and change diapers on the phone lol

    Do you like to talk on the phone?

    There are only 2 people that I mind talking to on the phone; my mom and my ex mother in law. Our conversations usually last 30+ minutes. Anyone can just text me because I hate talking on the phone

    REPTICON!

    I would love to go to a repticon one day!! Sounds like a ton of fun. I'd think will all the reptiles they would keep it at a decent temp in there

    Is it wrong that I...

    Exactly as Ken said. I usually suggest a smaller tortoise with seemingly simpler care, as opposed to the gentle giants that need loads of time and care. Like Ken said, I think a lot of the impulse buyers just see the beauty and not the work, I know I sure did! Thankfully, I did my research and...

    Is it wrong that I...

    Thank you so much. I completely agree, Ken. Mistreatment and neglect are the #1 reason why I have no intention to ever breed. I think that education is the only way to prevent "lazy" (for lack of better word) owners from buying and to help good owners have the right information for a healthy tort.
