Ok …I will be as gentle as possible and I hope not offend any memebers here who are part of that club ...…
But are you kidding me ?
I went to the CTTS Show in Long Beach today thanks to heads up by BIGRED ( I was looking for you ) I have never been to one of these events and didn’t know what to expect. Well …..tons of Desert Torts ( which is the main objective of the club) and funny to talk with the people who owned them ….most were not even from California ~
Ok now the Horrible part ….there were a few other torts to be seen , and in this case a Redfoot with a horrible beak badly in need of a trim …and talking with the guy he really had no clue and the “ kicker“ was a Tort Vet was 2 booths down from him ?….and once again the only other Redfoot there …..with a “bad beak†.
Now I understand about sharing and presentation but really , keeping a Radi’, Egyptian and Leo all in the same tank ?…..Those two exotic torts could buy 50 leo’s! Yet this person is willing to keep them together for the day for a show ? …..
And these folks are giving out advice ? ……ARE YOU SERIOUS???
* WHY THIS FORUM IS IMPORTANT* …….
REAL PEOPLE - REAL INFORMATION!
Here is the first Redfoot …..
The second ….. This guy at least was friendly talking too ….
The “ Mixture Guy†……
The tort Doc…….2 doors down from a grotesque in need of care Redfoot
( I sure hope he helped his fellow booth member )
Oh yea ….. Now I’m old no doubt … but do you have to be over 70 to own a desert tortoise? …at first I thought I was in the “ Bunko†room !
