For those of you in San Diego, I just found out about the public day at the CNPS 2012 conference, to take place TOMORROW. Everything is FREE (except for the parking). As unthrilled as I am about getting up to make the conference at 8 a.m. tomorrow, I can't pass up the opportunity to be there, so...

It's 2'x4'. The hubby built it from scrap lumber. The substrate is organic garden...
Hi,
I'm Renee from San Diego. I have a Sulcata named Cecil (or Cecile, I guess, depending on how things turn out), who is approximately three months old. My husband has had a few different tortoises, but this is my first one.
He had four Russian tortoises and a juvenile Sulcata (named...
