Well hello from Central OK. Turtles are everywhere here. It is one of the common things to do in the rural areas called turtle racing. Yes, they do paint numbers on the turtles, and no its not the safe kind. I have suggested using only water colors or even the child safe nail polish (its not...

I'm not saying you have a spoiled bird.....but she sure has you well trained!

That tort looks very content and happy. Almost like a resort for torts. Great job. Welcome to forum.

What are their names?

Wow, isn't she gorgeous!!

Wow, I actually looked into this years ago. The years of dedication, labor, costs, and red-tape is extraordinary and extreme. It's amazing and most people wouldn't understand the task you have taken on. The hours a day and schedule you have to maintain to be successful. The aviary alone puts...

Much like others here I am by no means an expert. So this is only advice. You may be giving too much calcium if you are feeding it everyday. You could add a cuddle bone and reduce the calcium powder to once a week. If he needs more calcium he will chew on the cuddle bone. Its actually quite...

Are tortoises like tattoos ...you can never stop with just one?

Wow you learn something new everyday. I never even thought about tethering/chaining a tortoise or turtle up :(

Was it the accent that gave him away? Or was it just his dancing ;) he really does look happy digging in...

You learn something new everyday. I didn't know they could swim. That's the first one I have found in my pond. I only see them in shallow water or marsh areas. That or on roads :(

Umm I kind of did.... I left out another way :)

Darn it I missed my own Birthday again.... At least here (US) they fly Flags (Flag Day) for my birthday every year. I am so special...:)

I found one three toed floating-cruising around my rather deep koi pond is that normal? She seemed quite happy and none worse for the ware. I did remove her and release her. Wish I would have gotten a pic now.

Anyone ever read the Tragedy of the Commons? It explains human greed and disregard for others as a natural human trait and psychological justification.

Bowl issues....lol Bowel issues I reread my post and laughed...WOW Talk about confusing the issue ;)

I just wonder how many of those dry tortoises have bowl issues and constipation. Any grazing animal needs copious amounts of water to assist with digestion and bowl movements due to the high fiber content in the diet. From cows to elephants they require lots of water. Now if our tortoises had...

Here are some pics of Casper- FYI still eating really well, active, has two hours in outdoor enclosure each day, temps from 82-101 in inside enclosure on thermostat , humidity was running from 86-94, water in plant saucer in enclosure, baths twice a day and always has good bowl movement...

You have no idea how true that is. They save 300 million not disposing of it properly and only pay 9 million if they get caught. You do the math and guess which one they choose.

Truely sad :( I get angry at the people who hit them in automobiles. Couldn't imagine them being eaten for fun :(
