My mother in law was gifted a Desert tortoise many years back. He's about 65 years old or so now? He's very social and will come when you call him! He loves my weiner dog! When we visit, they go everywhere together! I know that's looked down upon, but you'd have to know my dog to know he's never...
Thank you. I have a flourescent UV light for her that she likes, but I was curious if anyone has tricks :). Our windows are worthless when it comes to UV rays anyway. Our house is energy conserving so there's tint on the windows. Thank you for replying :)
I had plants in her enclosure and am looking for more since she destroyed them, lol. I should rephrase about her walking the floors of my home. She is NEVER more than 4 feet from me as my eyes are only fixed on her. I have a cat and 2 dogs, she is NEVER left alone outside of her enclosure. I'm...

Mine will only eat romaine and refuses to eat other stuff! I had to "tough love" her a bit and now, she is eating dandelion greens, but not anything else! If I put romaine back in there, then it's "dandelion who" Oh, this girl!
I think I see the same person in a certain group. I was shamed a bit for having the wrong substrate. I was on there for advice, as I had my baby for just 2 days. I deleted my post and haven't posted since. And by the way, my baby was checked yesterday and is a healthy (most likely) girl! I've...
