Thank you! This is the 3rd scare I have had with him, and I hope the last, my heart can't take anymore scares or heartbreaks!
Doing the happy dance
Lucky you can't see it. Coopers just keeping you on your toes. Making sure your paying attention, that's all Stay warm and enjoy the day

Ok, I am hoping this is the end of this thread since he is acting like his old self now. So here are a couple pictures of him being happy sleeping/laying next to dad on the floor! I love my not so little guy!
He gave me the evil eye for wake'n him up to take a couple pictures, lol!
Hope the pictures look halfway good. I just got a newer phone that a friend gave me cause my old phone is junk now.
His shell looks real dry but he gets a 30-50 minute bath a day.

Lol, thanks Shannon! Trust me, I can't get over his size either, and the breeder couldn't either. I'm happy/proud I have such a monster, but, being the worrier I am, I hope there will never be any bad problems from him growing so big so fast. I hate worry'n all the time, but that's just me I guess!Shannon and Jason said:Well he may be giving the evil eye but he still gorgeous
You need to do what Cooper is doing, relaxing. He' a healthy monster. Pics are great! He kind of reminds me of my monster, Beasty Boy. He's 15 months and weights over 4 lbs now. I'll post some updates on him soon. Look for it. Best wishes to both of you.
Sibi, that's good advice for sure! I'm calmed down a lot now that he is fine. You got a good sized baby too! Ill be looking for your updates and pictures! Have a good weekend!
WalkingRock got super sick like that and also threw up... Freaked Cathie right out!
Turned out the guy that lived under us had a hornet nest on the roof of his deck (the floor of mine) so he spray Hornet Killer all over the place... WalkingRock was only about 20 lbs then and spent 18 hours a day on the deck outside. He was sick till he threw up then it was like nothing was wrong! whole incident lasted about 24-36 hrs
Glad to hear Cooper is feeling better!

Woah woah woah. Sorry but your 'not so little' Coop is only 23 months?! Sami is 3 & not even that big!! Anyway- I was following this thread too and am so very glad he is okay!
Oh sorry. I read a little bit further & am seeing he is just a monster for his age. Goodness!!!!
I can relate to the freaking out part for sure. You are right about the whole thing getting better once he was done throwing up. After he was done he layed with me in the living room, and later that night he ate and just got better really fast. I think I put him with me around 7:30am, and he didn't move untill about 8:30pm. I am so happy you had a good outcome with WalkingRock, he is one good looking tort! Id been mad as a hornet if I was you, but I am sure the guy meant no harm. Always so good to hear the happy ending storys!
Lol, yeah for some reason he is a 23 month old monster. How big is your Sami? Thanks for your kind words, it means a lot to me! I will have to search your threads for pics of Sami.

I don't have any new pics of Sami. The default is an old pic and old enclosure. I should update that soon. She is 3yrs and much much smaller. Only 7-8 inches or so and I am not sure about weight. I need to get a scale. She was not well taken care of her 1st year and when I got her her 2nd year I was learning. I finally got everything down when she was about 2 1/2yrs old.
Lizzy: I am glad your tort is doing good now! Yeah post some pictures and get a scale.
Chainsawkitten: thank you, it was a very stressful day but all is great now!

I just keep going back to that picture of Cooper... I cannot wrap my mind around how BIG he is! I mean Squirt's only 12 months old and I thought he was growing well. Till I saw Coop! How many inches across is he?
Chris, I am late to the party too, but so glad things worked out well for your Cooper!
Sarah: trust me when I say I am sure yours is growing just fine, and I just measured Cooper and he is 16 inches front to back and 12 inches from side to side. He should not be no where near this size, but he is for some reason. Since his 2 year old birthday is in a week or so I am gonna go ahead and weigh him tomorrow since I already have him measured.
Lynne: HI! Haven't heard from you in awhile! Thanks for the well wishes for sure. That day had me in tears a few times. Just the sound he was making when he was getting sick I still can't get out of my head. Like a nightmare from hell! He is watching me write these messages now the little brat! Have a great Thursday!
