Hi Everyone! I started my organic garden about a year ago, here in SoCal. So far its coming along quite nicely! ANYWAY, I've been growing Black Seeded Simpson loose leaf lettuce by the bucket load... aside that it tastes great in salads and sammiches, I was wondering if it is safe (after being...

OK SO! Here's an update. I took the wonderful advice of this forum ( which has been OH so helpful ) and bought some organic soil and mixed in some coconut coir. The mix is around 70 (organic soil)/30 (coconut coir), and she LOVES this stuff, shes digging and exploring like crazy! This stuff...

This is a great idea, thanks! I have tons of organic soil, and I can get some eco-earth no problem. This will be great for the tort table I have yet to create.. this is a step in the right direction! :][hr] I would like to put her outside, but right now all I can do is put her out for a few...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments/feedback! I'm sure if she could read, she'd dig it! Haha, yes she has quite the attitude with that long neck. The other day my dad came into my room to get a brush and he said "I came in, and shouted something to your mom downstairs.. and she popped her...

Hopefully some news soon! :]

Oh goodness... I never really got around to posting pictures of Crush, but now that I have my d40, I can get amazing shots of her. A little bit about her: I've had many pets over the years, but she (aside from my plump weiner dog Zoe) has the most personality! I never thought I would love a tort...

RE: how did you find us? the reptile show in pomona.. that huge tort was quite a looker! :] my tort forum sticker still resides on the side of my computer tower and I always get people asking about it.

Its a seed mix that you can plant outside in any Tort enclosures. I planted it like 3 weeks ago, and not a single sprout. Hmm..
