Hi from Clearwater, FL

[Rebecca Brittain]

I'm Rebecca, I live on the West Coast of Florida with my husband, 2 dogs, 2 cats, fresh and saltwater ishies, and my own 2 tortoises Bilbo

(a 9 year old Sulcata) and Puka ( a 2 year old Redfoot)

It's just now warming up here, this winter was the coldest!! I've never had the heat lamps still hooked up outside for the torts past February.
Anyway, hello!

Hi Rebecca:

to the forum!!

Yeah, I've heard that it's been pretty cold in Florida this winter. I'll bet you're happy to see it warming up.

After you've gotten familiar with how the forum works, I'd love to see some pictures of your Florida habitats, including the tortoises!

Hi all!
Got busy the last week and have been trying to get back here since I posted.
Small world, Sammi. I may know your sis
Good new, since I first posted my 3-toed box turtle that went missing in February turned up last weekend in my own yard! I think he hibernated the whole time he was missing.

Anyway as I am a photographer I have tons of tort pix.
This is Puka:


Here's Inapa, the one who I found again:


And this is my big boy Bilbo:

Bilbo has his own blog, it's a work in progress! His link is below.
He made a video for his first post, so you can see him in action.

Bilbo is amazing. Great looking shell. How long have you had him and how much does he weigh?

Welcome to the forum. I am also in Florida! All your torts are great looking.

Thanks!
He is about 9 years old ( I had him since he was a couple of weeks old) and I think he weighs around 30-33 lbs. Last time we weighed him was about 1.5 years ago and he was 27 lbs then.
