    Do These Weeds Look Ok?

    I live in San Antonio and when I went away, my family let me various weeds die in my raised garden beds. Now, I have jumbo weeds and nothing like it in the rest of the yard.

    Observations Russian Tortoises Outside

    Few More Observations 1. Rained hard today and all 3 adults were out in the open hiding in the grass. 2. The baby burrows deeper than the adults. Part of the reason, maybe the mini cave for the adults. When inside, the adults do not always hide in the substrate. 3. I was giving just a little bit...

    Observations Russian Tortoises Outside

    I will mist their outdoor enclosure when it is hot. Never fails, they come out from their hiding places and walk around. It is funny watching my big female stick her head out and looking around, like where did the water go.

    SOME PEOPLE

    I remember reading many years ago an experiment with a snake and tortoise. Many people stopped to get the tortoise out of the road, while they ran over the snake. Some cop ran over it twice and was going to shoot it.

    Do not buy from petsmart or petco

    I worked for Petsmart for a couple of years. I was the one who would answer all the reptile questions. It was hard sometimes because the best answers would be for products, they do not carry, but I did the best with what we had. There were a lot of reptile products I would have eliminated and...

    Children and tortoises?

    I have been an animal lover my entire life especially dogs, cats and reptiles. I kept many lizards as an adult, but I have gone back to my first love, tortoises. I have 4 kids and my youngest has the same zeal for pets as me. Maybe, she will become a vet or in some other way make a difference...
