Good morning!
A pretty little sulcata came to be my rescue #58 today. This has been a pretty slow year for rescues. Seems to me that by this time of year I've received about 65 or 70 animals. It makes me proud to realize that we're getting better at caring for these little sulcatas. These people didn't really know much about tortoises at all, but just look at what a pretty tortoise they raised. Nadine is about 3 years old:
There is a Nadine sulcata on the forum: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/this-is-nadine.143031/#post-1339687
My son sent me this picture this a.m. of his dog:
Hi Jacqui, hope you are well, and that you enjoyed your pizza.
I'm getting those torts today!!!! They offered me the pair for $150 with a 40 gal long tank and light included. I won't be keeping them in that tank long though. They will only stay in there for so long as it takes me to go get my tortoise stuff out of storage in the the next day or two.
I know that keeping a pair together is frowned upon by most everyone and I asked questions about dominant behavior and bullying. I was told they have lived together for several years and get along. I'm contemplating maybe using the tank for one and my old tort table for the other but I'm not sure. I really only wanted the male but they didn't want to sell separate and $150 was a good deal for both. I might just post the female for sale or something eventually
A couple from Modesto came all the way here this a.m. and brought me these:
That was actually yesterday a.m. I forgot to click "post reply"

Don’t that just tic you off ! When you forget and come back and see your text just sitting there !
I got the torts!!! The female is BIG. These people obviously loved them but were making a lot of mistakes in care. I'm not one to pass judgement because I'm still very much a novice in tort care and if I hadn't found yall when I got Lou I'd have been worse off then they were. Can't wait to get them home though. Gonna clean out the tank and give them a good soak.
yeah, but thank goodness it's still there and I didn't have to retype

North San Diego County (more for you than me)? Want to work with many really cool tortoises? I need help for a few days the week before the T-Day holiday - THE WEEK BEFORE. I pay pretty decent wages, even for training. please call me with your voice at 215-483-7675. After all we are going to actually spend time in the same tortoise Farm for a few training sessions, so don't be shy (NO txt or PM). Will
The biggest one has such a beautiful shell.
This is the prettiest and biggest group of three toe box turtles I've ever received. All of them have beautiful shells and are bigger than normal. Their main diet was the "fruity pebbles" type box turtle food.
Geez!
Idea on how she did it?
These last few months have been the pits for my dogs. First, Raine, who was the second oldest at 17-19 years of age died. Then my bestest friend, Balarney died at about 20 years. The third oldest, Mister, had a stroke, but except for walking difficulties is doing ok. He is around 14. Today it was my coonhound, Theo who died. He was only about 11 years old.
How horrible! You've had a terrible time. I'm so sorry.
