I keep Redfoot tortoises.Just asking questions.. what do most of y'all have? Sulcatas? How old and how big are they? Have y'all had them for years? Have you gotten them from pet stores? I got Cy'Mon from a girl I used to work with, she kept him in water.. I knew that wasn't right for him. I asked her where she got him and she said from a pet store (didn't say where the store was) and she said she didn't want him anymore and asked if I wanted him. He's probably grown about an inch to at the most, 2 inches since I've had him. Since I can't keep him, I want him to go somewhere that he will stay forever and be well taken care of. I've done my best to my ability and knowledge
Well, we're glad you found the TFO, even if you aren't so sure. You're in Florida, which is a great place to raise and acquire turtles and tortoises. I believe there's a strong, active herp society in the Tampa area. If you haven't already, I would encourage you to get in touch with them. I suspect they will be able to support you through this, even if it's just someone to commiserate with or something. Since you've been so motivated and preparing to make the best possible tortoise home... They can probably help introduce you to a new friend, as soon as you're ready.No I've not been scared away, just checking my options. My heart is extremely broken after hearing this news. He's my little baby so of course I'd want the best care for him so he lives a long and healthy life. I've been searching for almost 4 years trying to find out what type he is so I could do the best for him. If I had known the correct type he is and they are protected, he would have been at a sanctuary or something way sooner. He looks just like a sulcata so I assumed that's what he was. He also looks like a baby gopher tortoise as I see. Adult gopher tortoises are not the cutest so this is hard to believe but it is what it is. Kinda wish I hadn't joined this site, like I said he is my little baby and a huge part of the family but of course I want the best for him so like I said I am checking my options, thanks all.
I wonder if this poor tortoise survived that horror.
There are arguments on both sides here! But that's for the Debates section.Look at this way you got him to live to an age he may have not seen in the wild that has to count for something.
They were giving a few updates on the news. Showed pictures of him with most of the easy stuff off. They felt he had a good chance.I wonder if this poor tortoise survived that horror.
