    I'm Back!

    After a long year and a half the pain has finally subsided enough to come back after losing my baby Sulcata to a dog I rescued. I learned such a great lesson that will be with me forever. Although I know I can't own a tortoise at this time I still love tortoises so much and want to enjoy them...

    My sad story to warn other (Another sad dog/tortoise story)

    I never thought I would be writing one of these horribly sad stories. My Tortoise, Bogart, was my child. I loved him so much its been too painful to speak about this. I stopped coming on tortoise forum because I was afraid of ridicule. I feel I should tell my story to warn others and help myself...

    Now what?

    I made a new tort enclosure that's 6ft by 4ft and insulated the whole thing. I put it in the backyard and started monitoring the temp inside. It reaches up to 110 and higher when the top is closed. How do the rest of you guys keep the outside enclosures cooler?

    Stupid tort owners!

    So I'm at school and I get into a conversation with this guy who says he owns a desert tort and a sully. I told him how I have a baby sully right now and I'm currently building a new closed enclosure and I'm excited to test the humidity once it's done. He looked at me like I'm speaking a...

    Soaks and schedules

    So I noticed the last few days Bogarts urates are getting gritty. This has me changing his diet to less oxalated weeds and soaking him more. The problem is sometimes I leave for work early 530 am and come home from school late around 6 or 7pm so I soak him when I find him awake. My concern is...
