    Breeder: "Tortoises Home" in Las Vegas

    I'm in Vegas and I'm not familiar with any local breeders so if you have any info send my way. (But to be fair, I'm not actively shopping for a tortoise either). Site looks like a potential scam, All the photos look they are shot in a different location which is a big red flag to me. Usually...

    Coffee Berries safe?

    It would probably be ok in very small amounts or for a treat once in a great while. Generally speaking, sugars and fruits should be be given very sparingly to tortoises. I like the taste of coffee cherries and once bought a juice made from them which I liked. Coffee cherries and anything made...

    Should you bake, boil or freeze loose coconut fiber substrate?

    I'm currently using the ZooMed Coco Coir. I bought mine in brick form. There was no bugs in there as far as I could tell (unless they are microscopic).

    I just started reading the 1st page of this thread and the math is way off on that page! It's a good thing we're not counting votes! ? I got 1 tortoise. (1639)

    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    I've been broken into a few times. Now stealing someone's pet, that's just really low. I hope you find him.

    What should I do with this one?

    According to Wikipedia, if the true owner does not arrive to claim the property within a certain period of time (this is defined by the Torts Act 1977 as 3 months from the date of finding), the property is returned to the finder as his own.

    Glad you found the tortoise. It's got some severe pyramiding.

    My dog is afraid of her water. Your thoughts?

    @maggie3fan Just to clarify, I'm calling our dog a miniature golden doodle now. She is about the size of a cat. Definitely, not as big as the full size ones!

    Florida Gopher tortoise help!

    Yeah, she looks almost like my Sonoran. I'd be curious to see a better picture of her hind legs. That's one way to help determine difference between species.
