I am friends with a past co worker on Facebook, a little bit ago she posted this photo. she posted that it spent last spring and summer in her back yard and that it was back this year... I dont think they are doing anything to care for it, just letting it be. Can it survive in Arizona without...

A couple months back my husband and I moved the tortoise into a temporary enclosure while we took down our old fence and put up a new one. We have a city easement behind our back fence that leads to a busy street at one end and dead ends into the side of a mountain on the other end. Every day I...

came across this add that states they are giving this make leopard tortoise away for free in the phoenix area. thought I would repost it in case anyone is interested. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pet/3890821036.html

In phoenix we have a growing population of wild love birds. They are a lot of fun to watch and are so pretty. From what I have read they have not had much of a impact on the native animals. Link to more info I have been trying to get pictures of them the last two days. Here are a few of...

I went out hiking with my daughter near squaw peak in phoenix and got pictures of this little. I had no idea these lizards had such bright markings... I only see them from very far away and so they just look black. This day I had my telephoto lens on my camera. you can imagine my surprise when I...

would you believe these 3 pumpkins are from halloween? we got them a few weeks before and never got around to carving them... I was going to throw them out today but decided to crack one open... they were still good! Shorty was more interested in trying to escape but Duma enjoyed it :)...

I was surfing craigslist and saw this... the lights would need to be changed... but how cool?!?! its prettier then what I could make thats for sure... http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pet/3530885206.html [hr] PS its in Arizona lol

once a thread is closed can it be reopened or do I need to start a new thread? I was going to update shorty and duma's growth threads but they are closed... I assume because they have not been posted to since june.

Short Round and Duma are both babcocki but their markings are so different... I will never have a hard time telling them apart :cool:

Pictures of our cat mooch... I just love his eyes!

Hi Everyone! sorry I have not been on for a while, I quit my job and started up my own business... Can be a little distracting, especially when you love what you are doing! How is everyone? Duma and shorty are getting big, they enjoyed the summer outside so much! they both seem restless in their...

Some one couldnt wait till i came back with a spoon to scoop out the mazuri... she just had to help herself.:P Duma is for sure my little trouble maker :rolleyes:

Hi all, I know its still way to early to know for sure but i was just curious if shorty was looking boy or girl so far. I think it would be interesting to check again in 6-12 months and see if there is a "change". :)

So I keep seeing threads where people are saying 1 or 3 but not 2... My plan for Duma and Shorty is this: if they are same sex;stick with two. if they are opposite sex then I will either adopt a second female or separate them... If they do end up being same sex do you think they will be ok? I...

Duma loves her mazuri dinner... It's funny that I am hiding pees in my daughters pasta and I am hiding grass in my tortoise's mazuri! Mom says "eat your greens!" She says what? Is there something on my face??

I just extended Duma and shorty's outdoor pen from 2.5'x3' to 3'x9':cool:. I was wondering if this would be considered enough room for them until they are big enough to have run of the back yard? or should i be planning to make room for something larger in the future? Shorty is a yearling and is...

How big should my leopard tortoises be before they can go into a enclosure without a cover? I know they are to small now but I have no idea when they would be considered big enough. Dogs are not a worry. Mine are both under 5 lb, very old and without most of their teeth. I do however have a cat...

This is how I found Duma and Shorty when I went to bring them in yesterday evening. I can't figure out how they both got in there like that. Did one back in? Couldn't help but to snap a pic they looked so cute!

So over the winter a ground squirrel chewed a wire for our sprinklers... At least that is how my husband explained it. So we lost most of the grass in the tortoise enclosure. It's to hot to start up grass from seeds so I am thinking at getting some sod. Anyone have any suggestions on what type...

Shorty and Duma have been enjoying the summer sun this year! Shorty got used to spending all day outside last year so he only did half days for 2 weeks as soon as it got to the triple digits here. This weekend Duma spent her first full day outside! She has been doing half days for a little over...
