    Saved a life today

    While I was doing my daily jog pushing my daughter around the nature trail next to my house I came upon these two trouble makers. The one on his back is male so I first thought this was a mating accident but I checked the upright tort and he was also male. These are the first torts I've seen...

    What's that scratching at the door?

    Yea I am starting to think he is finally opening up. The three years I have had him he still hides when I try to rub his head. He will let me rub his nose and between his eyes. He also tells me in his own way when he is ready for bed each night too. When I go check on him around 4-5 I he will...

    What's that scratching at the door?

    So I was sitting in the house looking at the reef tank and I heard a scratching noise at the back door. I don't know why but I instantly thought Thor was in trouble and went to investigate. When I opened the door I found Thor trying to break into the house. It's been a couple months now that he...

    They reach maturity around 12" in length. To tell if the sex look at the bottom of the shell the male has a concave bottom shell to set on top of the female. Also the shell near the business end has a V shape for male and U shape for female.

    How important is organic?

    Since there isn't a completed study on Gmo's and and the sprays we use on how it effects us years later down the road (we are the test subjects) I would say organic is important. Especially since the torts will be eating more and for a long life than us. I wouldn't say eating something that a...

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    I agree with you there :D, I'm just trying to say it's not only for one group of people everyone should watch it. Too many people over look these movies because they think it's too nerdy.

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    I would say it is definitely an action movie. Don't look at it as a "geek" or "nerd" movie all of them are really well done and are a fun adventure to experience just give one a try.

    Thank you for the tortoise forum

    I am so glad that I found this forum and corrected all of the things I didn't know I was doing wrong for my torts. I will say my tortoises were living but not to the best of care possible and some tortoise aren't as lucky as mine to have made it ok until I had found this forum. So I was thinking...

    ANYONE NOTICING ANY TROUBLE WITH THE FORUM?

    If your running on wifi sometimes the routers need to be reset too, but if it's only the forum your having the issue with this isn't the case. You would be surprised how many problems with all computerized electronics get fixed with a simple reset or a restart of the program.

    Five New Little Babies!

    I also wish we could care for these beautiful torts. I know they are better off in the wild but it is all I can think about when I pass by gopher tortoises that have been victims of our roadways.
