    Tongue Color

    Percy detests it when I soak him. Since I live in south Louisiana and it rains everyday he gets a good soak. Every now and then if he is dry dry I will soak him, but he really hates when I do that. He freaks out and won't poo or urate with me standing there usually. He rather me just make a...

    Percy and his "Pet" Terrier

    I moved a few weeks ago, and my new yard is mostly wooden privacy fence, except the back fence is an old metal fence. No way Percy can get through, but I am still trying to figure out how to block his view from the yard beyond the fence so he won't even try when he gets bigger. For now...

    Tongue Color

    all is well almost - his tongue is still a little off, but I think he has taken to eating something in the yard that makes it a different color but he took several big healthy poops the other day and sat there looking satisfied with himself, so I'm thinking he's all good.

    I was going to leave this since no one has anything else to add. It is what it is. But I am not a troll. This was my first and only thread in the debatable section. It was not done for attention. I still feel very strongly and passionately about it. None of you have changed my mind or made...

    Tongue Color

    Percy has always had a nice pink tongue, but the past two days he has been hiding in a pile of leaves and his tongue looks darker and duller. Anyone have a clue? He eats when I put him out by the grass, and he attacked some strawberries I gave him, but he hasn't left his pile of leaves except...

    thank you kimber lee for your thoughtful response. I also want to apologize for cursing. It wasn't aimed at anyone. I curse like a sailor in real life and it's hard for me to not type it when I am not only passionate but typing fast.

    Tortoise Supply.Com

    I put this here to be debated - to be discussed. To ask why were they allowed to advertise on the board when they were like this. Then they came on and said he was a sponsor and wasn't one of the bad guys, etc. If he's not - then he can put more info.[hr] Thank you Maggie. But do...

    Cute Percival - no pics - just a tale

    thanks guys! :D I'm beaming proud! I love him so much. I don't know for sure if he's a guy. I'm hoping for a penis show. I think he needs to grow a bit more...least that's what I'm telling myself. It's not that I would have an issue with him being a her, it's just it would be hard to...

    Tortoise Supply.Com

    I am the minority in this one thread. Most people who are good and true to what is right ARE in the minority. It doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that this supplier sponsors this forum (so he seems to care and be educated) and yet does not put forth a smaller bit of effort to put the...

    Tortoise Supply.Com

    why am I barking up the wrong tree? This site is supposed to HELP tortoises. That's what I am trying to do. Me putting up a caresheet is not going to keep people from know what they are buying on this website. Again - any reason as to why they cannot put more information/warning about sulcatas?

    why do all of you want this thread closed? because you don't agree? because you don't have an argument as to why these people can't put more information or more of a warning on their website? yeah...that's what I thought. Come on people - really - I dare you to give me a good...

    F!@#$%^&*! Neighbors!!!!

    can you maybe build a little perimeter around your fence - like a buffer zone? so that even if she does spray it won't get the part of your yard where your tort grazes?

    Come put in your two cents.

    I am open to even negative words and criticisms which is why I bring it up and put it in the debatable area. Come voice your opinion as sulcata owners. http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-15260.html

    Tortoise Supply.Com

    First of all why do these tortoises NEED to be pets? They aren't pets - they are exotic wild animals that outgrow MOST owners if the owners don't kill them first. I didn't buy mine. I rescued mine from some one who did not take care of it. Mine will live longer than me, and probably outgrow...

    Tortoise Supply.Com

    Look I'm open to the fact I'm wrong. Which is why I put it in the Debatable Topics Area. If Sulcatas are so hard to find, then why are rescues full of them? Maybe they're so hard to find because people end up killing them through neglect. To me, sulcatas are one of those species that should...

    Best/Safest Way to Attach Something to a Sulcata's Back?

    maybe ask your students and see what they come up with - that would be a great way to get the involved and i agree with maggie - it's a tortoise, and kids should learn the difference so we don't have people dumping tortoises in water or feeding them meat. also - can we have pictures??
