Aloe alone didn't tempt him too much.:( I fed them to him the night before, but he only picked at them a little. So, yesterday morning I gave him aloe bits, 3 banana slices and a bit of cheribundi juice in the Cuisinart, with moistened Mazuri Tort diet. Then poured that over the rest of the...

Just read an aloe article. Thanks for that tip! I have two aloe cacti. One, will die !!

In examining his poop since this all started almost 3 weeks ago for evidence of rubber band, I notice pieces of bark from his substrata that would seem a bigger challenge to pass. I'm hopeful that the rubber band will come soon! I'm only alarmed because the pooping stopped...

I have aloe cactus! Just slice up a branch?

He's about 13"long. It was wrapped around dandelions stems. He's peeing that pee that usually comes out when he poops. But, no poop. He's on my lap right now. I always wrap him in a huge incontinence pad, just because I don't want accidents on my lap and it helps keep him warm. 8th day, now. I...

Hi. My Rio ate a rubber band !! I'm scared to death for him. He's a picky eater. It was around some greens and it's been a few weeks now. He was acting normal.... Eating, pooping... But now he hasn't pooped in 6 or 7 days, and I'm terrified. Been giving him a warm water jacuzzi in the sink...

P.s.you can see the PVC holding the thermostat probs in an image two pages back in one of my posts from last year.

Looks like a very good beginning for your little one. I see you have your light suspended by a rope or chord. Is that right ? Real good idea to have that really secure. I had originally bought that light fixture. I returned it to get two separate lights. I have a Red Foot. They are not really...

Pennsylvania. A wooded land, on top of a mountain, up the ridge from the creek. I have a redfoot and a pot bellied pig. Rio's a rescue. We've only had him since a few days before I joined TFO. WELCOME to TFO, Melissa. I'm pretty new here, too. That's Boo. That's Rio. I don't have a cute...

Love these shots. Yes, very Dragony ! This must have been a tussle to get all these poses accomplished. LOL

Thanks, Tom. Never knew this. Haven't asked my Bro about it. Just took it for granted that we all pee. Very interesting. No urates, Rio's a gulper.

Oh cool! Sorry. Don't know why I assumed, maybe because you look quite young for 30! Nice to meet you, this is me. This is the only me shot on my tablet, such as it is...

Yes, I did have them mixed up. Vern looks similar in size to Rio. I never weighed him. I don't really have a good size comparison shot off him. The pics on deck above can give a rough idea, if you realize that the deck boards are 6"each. Vern may be larger than Rio. Thanks! What a great shot of...

Thanks for posting this. It makes me think, cause sometimes RIO seems like he's really working with whole pieces of melon and such.

GORGEOUS presentation! My Hubbs the chef would approve. :):<3: beautiful torts!

Love this. How old is Vern ? Rio likes this too. Rio is about twice the size of Vern. I am always on the hunt for comparison to torts whose age is known. The only thing I know for sure is that Rio is at least breeding age, because he made a girlfriend out of a tortoise statue on the deck and he...

Thanks for your input on the closed chamber thread . Helped me with convincing Hubbs about the railing.

You helped me to finally sell the railing for the ramp to Hubbs. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Tom, for the substrate thoughts.

Well, Well, he clearly isn't fond of the coir. He still is keeping himself to the rock surfaces. Thanks bunches. I may repurpose the coir to gardening then. I was hoping to get a warm day today so I could take him out to finish the set up. Not today... I think I will shop vac it out, so he is...
