Yes and with Greeks, but a 4lb Russian isn’t quite as destructive as a 100lb Sulcata :D Russians make up for it with mountaineering skils

He isn't 4 pounds but he is a monkey with a shell. My little Saphire can find a way to climb anything. I think he tries to fool me until I'm not watching. He doesn't understand that my favorite thing to do in life is watching animals be animals.

Basically, yes. If your computer is off then nothing can get to the data stored on it.

Someone sat in the street with the right equipment may be able to see what’s on your screen. But they can only get on your wifi if it is insecure, ie there is no password or the password is easily guessed (or the same as every other password you use)

While this is theoretically possible, the reality is that any identity thefts done by cruising wifi are more likely to happen to those connecting to public wifi in a shopping mall, hotel or other place where lots of people congregate. It’s just not worth doing outside a single property. Too much time taken and the likelihood of success is low.

Dare I suggest this company makes its money by frightening people

I never dealt with what everyone talk about. I have almost no adds and it’s always been like this. I use the app on my ipad, my android app on my phone has some adds but it’s not bad at all. I did find that sometimes pictures won’t load for no reason tho...When you talk about Josh may end up choosing to stop the app we’re talking about just the mobile app not the whole TFO right?

No TFO won't end. I think it's so established that no matter what your question is online...you will still be able to get an answer from TFO. Even from years ago. I don't know Josh personally, but what he's established, is amazing. Pet shops that I use go to the site for answering my questions about issues when they don't know the answer. The ad and hosting site should feel privileged to be a part of it.

I did some testing to see what poeple see when they research general question like for exemple « how to raise a russian tortoise » a couple weeks ago, the results where sometimes disapointing. Tfo not being on the first page at all, people very rarely go to page two when researching someting and here are the first results: 1:wikihow, 2 and 3 :reptilesmagazine, 4:wikihow again, 5: russiantortoise.com, 6: petmd, 7: azea.com, 8:tortoisesupply and 9: earthfriends. I’ve looked these sites amd they all say different things about the care, it must be very confusing for someone trying to find the right answer. Of course there are questions that put tfo on the first page like « how to raise a sulcata » putting it in 4th position.

I wish tfo was always on the first page and first results. Companies pay a lot of money to be first results so I know it’s already good for such a small thing like tfo. I think what really put tfo on the map is the continuous effort of long time members to educate people. I mean this is a lot of work think of how many people over the years that got helped and could raise their tortoise right and often saved their torts life. It’s like volunteering for tortoises around the world and im sure they do it because they like it and they get something positive out of it but I truly have much respect for their dedication.

Well I’m sure you’ll get him... LOL... house cats just don’t know any better.. Sadly, your chihuahua will probably do a better job of catching the rat... I have an inside cat and she’s been fed all her life so she wouldn’t catch a cricket... but my Tom, well he was a wild kitten that I had my dad trap just for the purpose of “mousing” .. I’ve seen him take down a squirrel and he hemmed up a copperhead one time... I’m told, if they don’t have to hunt for their food, they loose the instinct to hunt...and I fear he may be getting a built spoiled but it’s really hard for me not to feed something.

Getting Search Engine Optimisation right is a specialist skill. Josh has to balance the costs of paying someone to help with it and the taking the time out to learn himself against the income it will raise.

(My day job is IT and I did SEO training, but it’s changed a lot since I did it)
