I had been told in the past that the croc food was great for Red Eared Sliders so I was wondering if they have something under another animal that might be good for Sulcatas. I found...

    Missing tortoise.

    By engrave do you mean they carved into his shell? No way, never do this! But, what I did was get dog tags from Foster and Smith and I put them on (not on any growth lines) with aquarium silicone. Tracy

    My adoption didn't go through

    Julie certainly was not trying to scam anyone, I can say this with the upmost confidence. Things happen, with this one it was an issue with the airline. While I feel sorry about the fact that someone else missed out on them, I am very happy to say they are here with me. ;) And shipping was...

    Here are some pictures of Elton. We hope to improve his shell with good care over time. I also attached a picture of his house that my husband made, he also made the metal cut out on his house for me too. It was a welcome home present for Elton! Tracy
