    Petstore vs Online vs Expo

    I like the people who are transparent. I know not everyone has the time to be socially active, but when I visit their website, or their Facebook, instagram, or YouTube, and I see frequent day to day posts about living conditions and normal life, where they are kept, videos or pics of them...

    Petstore vs Online vs Expo

    A little digging goes a long way in choosing a website to ship you a turtle/tortoise. From what I’ve gathered from research myself and also prior threads on this forum, CB Reptile is the same company as TortoiseTown and there are terrible reviews of bad customer service and sickly animals, some...

    The number lingo question

    Ok I’m sure this is going to be super common sense, but I cannot figure out what the decimal point means when people are saying how many tortoises they have. Example... I have 3.2 Russian tortoises. Does it mean they have three two year olds? Or is it male to female ratio?? Where is the sticky...

    Are Tortoises Affected by Mosquitoes, Ticks, etc.?

    Not sure about mosquitos but ticks for sure. Shadows reptiles has a video on YouTube of him checking his herd for ticks because one of his torts had a massive one latched onto his vent. I’m not sure how often you’d want to check for them but tortoises definitely are affected by them and they are...

    Can you help me identify my tortoise?

    Yvonne, I too would assess her around ten. The only reason I could come up with for someone telling you the lie about her age is that they wanted you to think you had a relatively fresh start with her. Unfortunately, a lot of people just tell folks things that they think they would want to hear...

    Can you help me identify my tortoise?

    Are you sure she’s only a year old? She has a lot of lines for a one year old. Plus pretty big. I’m glad you know what she is now, she’s very beautiful!

    Which tortoise will fit Eastern Oklahoma?

    Thank you so much, everyone, for your responses. I have a renovation going on outback for my future family (herp fam, not human XD lol) and it is in a huge portion of my yard. It is mainly shaded from a massive tree right above and will be a double enclosure set up with security from above also...

    Which tortoise will fit Eastern Oklahoma?

    I’m a long time tortoise owner... 2008 - 2016. I took a few years to mourn the loss of my Greek tortoise, Riko. I lost him of my own accord. I had him so many years, so many yard outings, a few moves, a gazillion pictures, a thousand hours staring, endless devotion and spoiling, what seems like...
