I don't want anything for him (or her) just a good home. You need a very large area, and a complete winter setup. That's all I'm asking. I do not want him resold, take him if you want a pet only. I am posting a current picture, we are located in the new orleans area now.

Our little rocky is almost a pound, and seems healthy and happy. But we have a new problem with his enclosure. It has been in our bedroom which is by a outside door. With the high humdity it has become a haven for every little critter that sneaks in that door. This last time I changed the...

Please look at these pics, I'm wondering if this is normal growth. Rocky back middle scute, (one up from bottom scute) was lower then the other slightly pyramid scutes since we found him a few months ago. Today I noticed a side scute growth area is indented, compared to all others. It's hard...

I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm here daily reading. Still I just can't seem to get our Tortoise Rocky (5") in a safe environment. Today I had him outside in what we thought was a totally safe spot. Yet he managed to flipped over on his back. It was no longer then 2 hours since checking on...

I know from Tom that squash leaves are ok to feed; Can I feed everyday, or more of a treat? I have a ton of it in my garden (not just cucumber). Yesterday I feed Rocky a small cucumber leaf, and he eagerly ate the whole thing. Not something we really see with him. However, with all the feeding...

This guy is just not happy, found him 4 weeks ago. We had him in a 24" crate hoping for a owner reunion. 2 weeks ago we felt it was absolutely necessary to give him sun. So we built a outside area for him. South mississippi always hot and humid. Still brought him in at night to the crate. In...

Should I put him (5" sulcata) back in the small crate? We made him a bigger cage with coconut husk substrate, but all he is doing is pacing. Before he would soak under his light and then crawl into his hut for the night. He hasn't stopped pacing for an hour. Too much stress? The new cage is not...

quick question. This very young sulcata seems to love the cuttlebone. Nibbling it everyday. Does that mean all is good, or is he low on calcium? Just got him to eat off a plate, some I could sprinkle some, but also saw too much is a bad thing to. Thanks for any help.

You can tell from the title I have no idea what I'm talking. So this sulcata is still sitting in the bare crate, but outside during the day. I'm now looking at improving his indoor environment. Again just so no one thinks I'm this mean, we were looking for the owners, that's why he's been in a...

Hi I know I posted this in my first post, but thought I'd try again with better picture. It kind of reminds me of wild strawberry but the leaves alternate and it has a thin tubular root. It also kind of looks like a common lawn weed called green and gold. This is southern mississippi. And yes I...

So 3 weeks ago a tortoise showed up at my front door. And I mean at the front door. I live in a mostly rural area in south mississippi. I put the little thing (about 5") in a crate waiting for the owner. I asked every neighbor, and they asked neighbors. And for two weeks we tried feeding it...
