My name is Anita, Niti to my friends. 2 Years ago I "inherited" my Grandson's Sulcata tortoise so that makes her about 3 and a half. Georgie is 13 pounds, carapace is 12+ inches long (Yes, I am over feeding her). She is still flat as a pancake underneath, so I believe she's a she. Time will tell. She's a sweetie, but VERY hungry all the time so spring and summer she's fed twice a day and an afternoon snack. We live in SW Florida so she lives on our screened lanai. All the screens have been replaced with nylon pet screen BUT now she's starting to tear through that. I would start walking her outside and around the neighborhood but the lawns are all being treated. The undeveloped lots are full of biting red ants. Any advice for a frustrated torti mom?
