Thank you!
Most welcome.
Most welcome.
By the way, I think that another member at TFO named his/her tort "Napoleon."
This is a wonderful group of people. I hope you'll stick around. I'm sorry you felt the advice you received was condescending. It's just that so many people come here that have relied on what they were told at pet stores, so we want to make sure they have the correct information. We all want the same result - to give our tortoises the best life possible.
That's great. Florida is a wonderful place to raise tortoises.
Not trying to be rude or condescending. Sorry if it came off that way. We just have all been there, well most of us, that searched the Internet for advice and have come across all the places with bad advice. A lot of us have the tortoises to show for the bad advice. Nothing I'm blaming you for, it's just what the experience has been. Pet stores, some vets, a lot of breeders and most websites still give wrong outdated advice. Just trying to inform you before it's too late for your torts, incase you got that bad advice. We also know that a lot of people that have had their torts for a long time, have a hard time excepting that what they have been doing is wrong and not good for their torts. Again, not the fault of the owners for trusting the advice they were given. The only faults on the owners is not excepting that there is new, better, more correct advice and then not excepting and making changes.
That's very easy. Insulated and heated shed. It's not really a problem having torts in cold areas, just more expensive.
I too have felt some comments sounded rude on this forum. I don't believe that they are trying to be. Most information that I've read is accurate on raising healthy torts. We hope that you stay and enjoy this site. You'll find no better knowledge about tortoises anywhere else, I assure you.
