Wow. 103 already?? Taco was 92 last week. Still hard to grasp that sulcata can dump more than 10% of its weight. Good catch fred. You obsessive weighing habit has discovered something new for us. :D

I swear I have tried a few times loading up Taco's picture. I even tried the app. But none worked. The app said I don't have permission.. firefox keep on loading on and on it goes.. I tried typing something like this post earlier today but it also didn't get through. Maybe provider on my cell is having trouble? this is getting frustrating. Always such luck with technology

It works. Wow taco is handsome. You should post more. Sometimes it loads the picture longer. Crop the picture first so you uploads a smaller size picture. It works everytime.

His beak is all white from the calcium powder I sprinkled on his radicchio this morning. He loves his radicchio

I told ya Toro and Taco are alike. Toro is just lighter in color and a little bit heavier. They are probably sibblings :p

I don't think we have an Indonesian name for Radicchio. In those grocery stores like Carefour, they also wrote Radicchio as their names. It looks a lot like "sawi putih" but not as long. The color is dark purple and white, with sometimes a hint of green color. But most of the time I saw only the purple and white combination. Usually it's on some salad, thinly cut. I immediately set them aside because it's bitter. Maybe torts like bitter vegies? Does anybody knows if sulcata eat bitter mellon (pare)?

Maybe they can produce an offspring :D if of course, turn out to be different sex :tort:
I think i know what is raddichio now.
You can search bitter mellon answer faster from google. Maybe someone ask before at here. Type "bitter mellon tortoiseforum"

Let us know if Toro likes Radicchio!
Taco and Toro offsprings? That's something to think about :rolleyes:o_O. Hardest part is one of us has to be apart with our tort, considering the distance between us.

Ah yes.. Too far away :D
I want the biggest Sulcata which is obviously should be a male one, but i want the mild and well behave one which is obviously a female. A female, we should concern more about her calcium intake because she is producing age.
Flashing and humping things are not cool if it happens when we have friends come along. o_O

Today is a big sunny day. I should be taking Toro pic but i am too lazy because it is so hot. Toro likes it, i don't. So i just get one photo which is when i want to setup a new cctv. Turn out i cancelled it because it is too hot, the cctv could not handle it, i think.

Where is Toro? He is hiding in his biggest shade at right. Can you see it? I install 2 new pond for him (the pic taken before i install it), 1 inside his shade, 2nd just beside his shade, the first one is at the very left which is sometimes too far away (he likes to stay at right environment) i think he forget about the pond haha.

If you didn't mention his whereabouts, I can never spot where he is in the picture. He is so cute hiding in his shade. Love your postings.
