    Bad jokes

    I have a chemistry joke but don't think it will get a reaction. I used to have a soap addiction but I'm clean now. It takes guts to be an organ donor. I don't trust trees. They seem shady. Why do golfers take an extra pair of socks to the golf course? In case they get a hole in one. I...

    Daily diet feed on romaine lettuce and bokchoy bad ??

    Moringa drumsticks, pumpkin leaves, gongura, amaranth greens, fenugreek greens (methi), and lemon grass are a few things that I pick up from an Indian market here in the States. They seem to especially enjoy the gongura and pumpkin.

    Do people think you’re weird for owning tortoise/turtles

    That could never be me. I might be the only Midwesterner under 80 that refuses to leave the house in the snow . If we get even a dusting everyone knows I won't be at work. If we have more than an inch in the forecast I'm running to the store and stocking the pantry like a Cold War era bomb shelter.

    Do people think you’re weird for owning tortoise/turtles

    When you get to the point in life that you're standing in the yard wearing sleep clothes, collecting dandelions and clipping the grass with scissors, you're beyond worrying about what others think.

    Food advice- opuntia

    I made a purchase from kapidolofarms.com that came with a free sample of cactus powder. The one tortoise I had that wouldn't eat cactus pads started to after dusting his food with the powder for a couple of weeks.

    Bad jokes

    Two guys walk into a bar. You'd think the second one would've ducked. I used to date a girl with a lazy eye but we broke up. Turns out she was seeing someone else the whole time. Two radio antennas got married. The wedding was just ok but the reception was phenomenal. I used to hate facial...

    Which tortoise is best?

    True. My first tortoises were a sulcata and a leopard. Small to medium work better for me.

    Which tortoise is best?

    Every species is cool in their own way so I can't say a best. Unique setups, does well in groups, manageable size, mid-range price, and ease of care makes Pancakes my most underrated.

    Anyone feed cockscomb?

    Tortoise table lists as a do not feed due to oxalates and saponins. It seems that many people feed plants with oxalates and there seems to be doubt as to the harmfulness of saponins to tortoises. According to wikipedia some saponins can aid in animal digestion and enhance nutrient absorption...

    Redcata?

    I'd hate to see tortoises go the way of the bearded dragon or various geckos where it seems like with all the fancy morphs you just don't see many normals.
