    Why does my Desert Tortoise bob his head?

    That was my impression. Since she is only head bobbing and 'arm flexing' and not displaying any other aggressive signs (no biting or rushing) I figure we'll just work it out.

    Why does my Desert Tortoise bob his head?

    Regarding tortoise aggression: Tilda engages in this behavior as well, and I have always taken it as a sign of aggression. She (or he) often does it around her food, but will do it at other times as well. Right now its not much of an issue, as she is only 5 inches. I have wondered if it will...

    Moving Across State Lines

    I used to drive between California and Oregon regularly. You will not be stopped on your way into Oregon, and the chances of you getting stopped going to California are very slim. They are not going to be concerned with pets, mostly they want to be sure you aren't bringing in agriculture that...

    People with young leopards: how early do they go to bed?

    Here is a Video of my Leos Eating!

    Very good choice of music. It fit them so well. I love watching torts eat. I think they look animatronic.

    Hello from Tilda and I

    Hi All- I've been reading this board for awhile and finally decided it was time to join. I have a lovely little leopard tortoise named Tilda that I adore. She was a craigslist rescue, so I'm not sure of her age, but her previous circumstances were pretty bad and consequently she has a mild...
