Side note: I went to pharmacy school and after I graduated I was on the admissions committee. I sat in on group interviews of candidates for the school. Everyone had the generic reason for why they wanted to be pharmacists: to help people, to contribute, etc. I'm not saying they were...
I am building an enclosure for a baby leopard tortoise, it's going to be a heated, humidified greenhouse within an unheated sun porch in very dry Southern Colorado. I'd like to make it a fully enclosed space so that I can keep it humid enough and warm enough for both a growing tortoise and a...
Hey there - is there a source for information regarding plants for both big and small tortoises? I haven't acquired a tortoise yet, but would like to get a garden started any way - I live in THE WORST area for gardening most things (Southern Colorado) without a ton of water so many plants will...
Well, I still have some research and building to do to prepare for a new friend. Is there a way to speak with you offline? Email? Phone? Do you ship babies?
Great - do you have photos or a website or something? I'm very interested but don't know much about how this sort of thing works on this forum. When you say "ready to sell" does that mean greater than 4 inches or is there some other marker that you wait for?

Oh, my plan is two at the very most, and yes it does get cold which is why I'm in the process of sprucing up a tortoise barn. We have sun all year, so my plan is a well insulated indoor enclosure with lights (artificial) along with some skylights. Thanks.
Hi Tom - I was told you start your babies correctly. Do you have any leopard (pardalis pardalis) available? If so, what size and how much do you sell them for? Many thanks.
Hi There - as you can see, I'm brand new. I haven't acquired a tortoise yet and I'm looking for a good quality breeder of large tortoises. The forum posts I see mention a few individuals, but I don't know how to contact them - do I send them a message? I'm looking for a large tortoise (I have...
Hi there - Just saying a quick Hi to the tortoise internet people. I don't currently have a tortoise friend at my house, but I am a looong time reptile keeper (started with way too many anoles when I was 10, progressed through chameleons, geckos, frogs, probably many more that I'm not...
