I do not agree. Oh and having your tortoise on the floor for excise in a well heated room with a clear space protected by two people is not letting them roam. If you can't see what was being done here you are foolish.I tried to be polite.
It will be a long time before I consider posting here again. I do not appreciate people who choose to twist my words to make themselves look deified. I have been on other sites for other purposes in the past and have encountered the same type of individual. So no.
I think you missed the point of my reply. Back off. I do not think I know everything. But you are clearly getting some kind of thrill out of lecturing me. I will not be your opportunity to dazzle your ego with how brilliant you think you are by stomping all over my finding a good tortoise to...
Again. He is only on the floor with human supervision. I do not trust my dog or cats good intentions as opposed to their natural desire. I have been around animals of all types since I was a kid. I am not humanizing his behavior. I am well aware that he may have his own motives. That is...
Happy tortoise. Rosey keeping warm. We got him some stone plates that he can't flip. Also got him a better drinking water dish. Using a heavy crystal ashtray that we cleaned up. Also unflipable. But see that fake log? Dudes and dudettes he moved it to where he wanted it. We are planning a more...
I was told he was a year old. Considering how off they were on other info I am not suprised. My understanding is that he can get to 6 to 8 inches in shell length? So he could grow some more. Do not know how they aquired him but he has a very sweet personality. He nuzzles up at my chin and...
This is my little buddy Rosey. He was my 51 birthday present. I have always been a friend to turtles when I find them. Usually the Eastern box on or crossing busy roads. I saw this guy in the store all covered in red wood dust and rescued him. He wasn't responding to people so they were marking...
This was moved here why? I was responding to the original poster, as I was citing the example that my tortoise of the same species was also about 4 to 4.5 inches in length as quoted by the store I aquired him from. Maybe got lost in my extra details. I can be long winded.
We just adopted a Russian male, roughly 1 yr. He is about 4.5 inches. We believe the shop was overfeeding him with an incorrect diet. They had him housed in an enclosure filled with red wood chips. He is doing well on an improved diet.
