Its been awhile since i been on the site, been a busy few months. My mt. tortoises are doing good, they are still hanging out outside, and still healthy. They haven't seemed to grow much, but then again when you see them everyday they never seem to grow, lol. I will try and take pictures tomorrow and post them, I'm in the process of fixing up there outdoor enclosure, going to add new hides and such. redo it a little.

Hey, Kyle:

We've missed your posts. I'd love to see new pictures of your tortoises and read an update about them.

Also one of the 4 escaped and was lost for the past 4 weeks, he decided to come out and i found him finally, good news all around. i'm pretty happy :)

my misting system is still up though, i turn it on when its hot out or when we get santa ana winds which are pretty dry. So far these guys are doing great, pretty sure they grew a little, the biggest one is 4-5 inches maybe. they will be 2 in august.

They are just the neates things! I love mine and can't wait to get my outdoor enclosure established, this Spring and Summer. About mid July, I should have some pictures of a nicely grown in, outdoor pen for you all to see. You can add some colocasia plants to your enclosure for little money and they look awesome and provide some shade.

Nice, yeah the outdoor enclosures are fun to make, I bet your torts, and my torts are from the same parent tortoise lol, I need to get more plats, i will look for some colocasia. Right now the enclosure has a few plants in it, but always looking to add to it. Also want to add some kind of stream down the middle just because. right now they hide most the day though, they come out late afternoon when i'm not home so i dont see them very often :(
