I had quite the afternoon. i got the call from Heather saying she would take Elvis today. She lied. then she says she is closing his burrow (over my objections) and she would put out a heat lamp. I did not take her at her word. Don and I went to check on Elvis. Yes she had closed his...

I was surprised today by the news that Elvis has a new home. 10 acres worth of new home. I cried. I took him breakfast this morning. He was out of his burrow sunning himself. He had lettuce, strawberries and clover.I went in his enclosure and took some close up pictures of him eating. He didn't...

I was surprised today by the news that Elvis has a new home. 10 acres worth of new home. I cried. I took him breakfast this morning. He was out of his burrow sunning himself. He had lettuce, strawberries and clover. I did find out he does not enjoy romaine. When I feed him one day he ate...

. I am amazed. I am the woman taking care of Elvis in AZ. OMG I am stunned by your craftsmanship and attention to detail. The entire enclosure is perfect. Grass, cactus, and a beautiful green home. If I didn't know for sure that Elvis will be adopted I would hire someone to build such a nice...

I have tried several times to upload pictures of Elvis in AZ. I can upload the image but cannot save it. I get a server error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thks.

I am so amazed at the wonderful advice, helpful tips and concern for Elvis. He is so cute. I had a good conversation with Susan the daughter. Her mom is recovering, which is great news. The not so good news is she is not going back to her home. Susan and her mom will have some difficult...

I had a great conversation today with the daughter. She will have a tough time with her mom. Mom thinks she can return home but she will need to go to assisted living. Susan asked me if I wanted Elvis. If I were 30 years old I would love to have him. She wants him to go to a good home. I...

The tortoise I am feeding and working on an adoption has always lived outdoors; The woman who owns him did not have room in a small house to bring him in during the winter; I live in Phoenix. To me it is a joke to say we have a winter. If Elvis has always lived outside, for years, do I need to...

I don't know. My hubby says I run like Captain Jack Sparrow, arms up in the air, running for dear life. I love being the butt of a great joke. If a person can't make fun of themselves they are missing out on some joy.

Elvis is 3' long and about 2' wide. Should I have help?

I keep forgetting to ask this question. I have never been around a tortoise, ever. Elvis is the first tortoise I have seen close up. Yes I am making excuses. I need to go into the enclosure. It needs cleaning and the removal of the green water pan. I also need to put in a washing machine pan...

:DThank you so much! I would never have thought of that. I'll be shopping tomorrow.

so I left off some details to help define my problem with media upload and save. I use a laptop, Win 7. I was able to post photos to the photo forum. I created an album; uploaded the pic and tried to save. That is when I get the error message that the server has a problem. Hope this helps. Thks.

I can't upload media. I created a album but when I try to save the media I get the server error message. I could upload pics but not into an album.

I could upload pictures but could not put picture in a new album. That is today, 11.24.15. Just passing it on.

I have been reading posts on Sulcata tortoises. Elvis used ot have a child's wading pool but is damaged. Do I need to get something he can soak in? What do I buy for a tortoise that is about 3' long and 2' wide? Any suggestions would be great. He is very dirty. covered in dust and dirt. I...

I was not sure where was the best place to post the photos. I have two posted. The man with AZ Fish and Game emailed me and said Elvis is an African spurred tortoise (aka sulcata). I thought he was a desert tortoise. I was really surprised to read about the laws in AZ for the welfare of...

Thanks for the info. I am relieved to know Elvis is probably healthy. And thanks for the water info. He's cute isn't he? I think his neglect began in the last two years. Her husband died, her health took a bad turn and she just couldn't keep up. Her daughter lives a good ride away and does...

Another Elvis showing his enclosure.

Please meet Elvis. Of course I have not even consider turning over a tortoise to see what sex he/she is.
