    New Tort Mom, here!

    Thanks for the info! I do not let Miles roam free in my yard without constant supervision. I am less than one foot away from it (on hands and knees usually) and my large animals are inside my house. I live out in the country and have no neighbor animals, either. We are outside for about an hour...

    I do not have a temp gun, but I am going to be getting one.

I quickly learned that it was not going to cut it in the long run. While I know aquariums are not preferred, I have access to one and will be covering the sides so...

    New Tort Mom, here!

    Hey, everyone! I recently became the mom of a month old (guestimation) sulcata tortoise. A friend of a friend had 13 new babies and had to re-home them. While I've read that it's much too early to tell the sex of our babe, we have named it Miles because when we go out in the yard, it travels...
