So, I'm talking on my cell phone. I walk outside to look at my pond (which borders my tort enclosure) and notice that Doub's is in his enclosure face down halfway in his water bowl~! It's a large drip thing for a planter, and his back end is sticking up off the outside with legs dangling and...

Well, I've been MIA since the holidays. My boss called me on Jan 2, and told me our company was going to remain in shutdown mode for the month of January, UGH~! So, of course, what do I do besides clean my house and worry about my job? I go hiking in Yosemite again LOL My friend and I hiked...

So, the temps in our area have been in the 30's for lows and 40's/50's for highs. Doub's and Troub's have it nice though, their "house" temperature is between 70 and 90 degrees. Think they'd mind if I hung out with them for a while? :P

Well, I finally got the results of all the lab work the Vets did when I took Fuzzy and Woody to the Vet last Friday. Woody's thyroid is fine (Yay, I didn't want to have to give him thyroid med's on top of his epilepsy meds anyway) Fuzzy though has kidney disease and a urinary tract...

Dang, had a thread all written and photos attached, hit submit and got a "fatal error" :( Oh well, anyway went on a backpacking trip to Pt. Reyes National Seashore with my sons and their Boy Scout Troop this weekend. We hiked the Sky Trail to Sky Camp Friday night (yes, in the dark with...

Saw a link to this on (of all things) a Dog forum :) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1062575/Pictured-The-punk-rock-turtle-bright-green-mohawk.html?cfm=turtle

I finally finished Troub's and Doub's new house last week, just before the rain started. Since Troub's has been a bully lately, I have a divider in it, so they each have their own space (and will be dividing the enclosure too). Initially, Doub's didn't want anything to do with it, and, I had...

So, usually Trouble and Double go to their heated dog house around 4pm daily, but, through the summer, Doub's has been sleeping outside. It's been cold here this week (down to the mid 40s at night), and I expected Doub's would go to his house. I noticed in the afternoon that he hadn't, but...

I did go to Yosemite for a couple day hikes this weekend. I'm lucky to live close enough (and to have friends with houses 1 1/2 hours away) to be able to do day trips to Yosemite. They were doing a prescribed burn in the Mariposa Grove when we were in there Friday. If you look closely to the...

This tort' is way too big to be living in 55 gallon tank they show. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pet/844162569.html

Anybody see this news article? There is a found DT in Washington that needs a ride to its adoptive home in So Cal. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080907/ap_on_fe_st/odd_wayward_tortoise;_ylt=AttgyH1EmoQMdTI392EXtNYsQE4F

Here's the article I saw this morning: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080819/ap_on_fe_st/odd_turtle_on_wheels;_ylt=AvB6L.Bb9WhCY30J1PGjxPosQE4F I'm glad they're trying to help her lead a normal life, but, not sure they should let a male with her. How will she dig her nest to lay?

I'm not sure if it's too early to tell or not. My 2 Leo's are around 3.5 to 4 years old. Double (Doubs) is 6" long while Trouble (Troubs) is 5.5" long. Can you tell from these plastron shots? Doubs Troubs Thanks everyone :-)

Here are my 3 1/2 year old Leo's Trouble and Double (aka Troub's and Doub's). It was bath day, and, I was also trying to take photos and measurements. They sure can be active when I want them to stay put LOL They have a little bit of pyramiding because I didn't know how to care for them...

Hi everyone, I've lurked for a long time, and figured it's about time I introduce myself and my kids. We live in Northern California. I got Trouble and Double in 2005 as CB hatchlings. I hate to admit it, but, I did everything wrong when I got them, so they both have some pyramiding. From...
