sportychick said:Lol awesome!
sportychick said:Crusher would be a runt compared to yours
sportychick said:Haha if.only.it were that easy eh
I need to add a pic tomorrow for u to see. I want to know of he's peeling....
sportychick said:Haha not in a panic or worried this time cuz I have read it before I just want to know if that's what it is so I don't wipe to hard or wipe it off when drying him off a bit after soaks.
How big are you torts? I have to measure mine but I'd say middle finger in length although might.not say much lol
sportychick said:Awesome!!!Have u tried lilacs?

This thing
So today I went out to check on crusher on the balcony and I seen poop in his water well only way I know for that to happen is if he went in there lol.. so maybe he is finally going to soak himself I still haven't seen him myself but signs look good. I have been soaking him every other day. Seems OK or is it to much or to little for our size torts?
sportychick said:Yup I remember that as I mentioned I don't ever see him soak so I'm thinking he might have just turned around and pooped. Not trying to have went in the water. He always takes a stroll over looks and runs away. Almost like a kid and a swimming pool lol
Well from what I seen today with Lilacs he loves the flowers ate it like it was going out of style

I didn't know anywhere near what I know now because I was new to the internet and hadn't discovered these wonderful forums. Anyway, summer came and I bought a kiddie pool to put on my deck to give the hatchling some sun. He had a hide log in there but for some reason wasn't using it. So I see him starting to salivate and immediately brought him inside. I didn't know at the time what the problem was and thought maybe respiratory infection. Now I realize he was just getting overheated. Anyway, I called a couple that was on the board or whatever of our local herp society to ask their opinion, explaining what happened. They said, "well, we can keep him for observation for a few days and give him back to you". Because I had to wait for my husband to drive me I wasn't able to go get him immediately when they called. They started to charge boarding fees, which at the time I didn't have the money to give them. I never got my tortoise back. I get upset because now that I think about it why didn't they tell me s/he was probably getting overheated out there? By this time I would have had a beautiful approximately 10 year old red foot. I have box turtles, but still have yet to have a tortoise since my little hatchling, Ruby.
