I get a missed phone call today on my aldabra number with a message. This sweet older lady said she is calling about her cactus and one of her neighbors told her that i trim hers and haul it off. Then continues and ask if i could call her back and trim hers. I called and went right over. She was grateful and the cactus was beautiful and very green with no bugs or worms. I always ask if they want me to trim extra, dead pieces, etc. and pick up all the fallen rotten cactus as a courtesy. I always leave my card and ask them to call whenever they need a trim and clean up. Moral of the story, I have established many contacts this way and is a fantastic free food source for the tortoises.

Great idea. They don't know how much they are helping your torts. But holy cow you really gave that cactus a trim:D

Wow, what kind of cactus is that? I've never seen anything like that in my life. I guess I've never lived where those things would grow.

The growing season in S. Florida is year-round, and those cactus grow like you can not believe. That cactus will likely grow back even bigger by this time next year.
