I am exhausted. All this rain had caused some mud holes to form in our driveway, today me and the hubby shoveled rock gravel into them.. a whole truck bed full. My poor shoulders!
Oh, poor you. I hope your shoulders are better tomorrow. It is hard work to fill all those holes with rock gravel.

Does this look right to you all?
I don't notice anything suspicious. A little over priced..The size to age sounds reasonable. There is some pyramiding, but it's large enough to probably be safe from hatchling failure syndrome.
As long as it is not a "send me money" it sounds ok. Were you interested in a sulcata?

It just did not look right to me. That is the first one I had seen on my local Craigslist.

As far as interested. Not right now. Maybe after I move in a year. I'm not sure which kind i really want yet. I like the leopard torts a lot though.

Right now I'm just looking for turtles.

The tort has a dirty face and pyramiding.. that photo does look familiar though..

My next torts will probably be a Indian star or a pancake tort. Although I dream of one day having radiated torts!

Mixed bag of info....work flow getting normal now that most our offices and ppl are back following Christmas, New Years, and Christmas break again. Had our local gas and electric guy out after work to install a brand spanking new, WiFi enabled thermostat. Look ma, hands free settings, from a room away, or across the ocean. Ohh...after our freeze, temps hit 51 today....but weather team says we are in a drought! Least amount of rain in 121 Years....yes Years. No precipitation!

Good evening Adam. Everyone should do what he or she wants. When in Germany at the 1th of September all Christmas sweets in the stores appear and you hear the whole December Christmas songs in the stores too you are "feed up" with Christmas when it is ....
That makes sense. That is way too early.

Those are Tent Tortoises, Psammobates tentorius verroxii, the Bushmanland subspecies from South West South Africa.
Pretty rare.
They must be Rare as I have never seen them. They are beautiful though. When you say South West South Africa are you refering to Namibia?
