@yvonne yea thats good to hear!
@Maggie thanks for the concern, we are moving and lots of things are getting moved around. Hes safe though :)
@Tom those guys must be huge then! I want to see how big he will get. I can carry him no problem now using a bit of effort but in the future i doubt i...
George is 5 and going onto 6 in Oct or Nov i think. Hes huge and i am wondering if im just looking to hard.
I didnt notice how big he was until i caught him in my backyard after he broke through the guard keeping him in safety
Thoughts?
(The sandal is a size 9.5 or 10 i believe)
I will take the tortoise. make sure you give me 5 years worth of mazuri, heating elements, housing and any other necessities. also I am based in California once again so it would be nice of you if you could compensate me for my gas since I will drive. thanks!
Hi, thanks Wellington! Yea they sleep in a den of dried grass thats a bit moist but it dries quickly. Especially this summer. It was so hot that they wouldnt go out all day until it was almost dark. I dont feed them as often because they go out themselves and eat grass after the heat goes down...
Oh wow i didnt check the post. Well if he does look that way then thats not good but i assure you he has water accessible at all times. Hah yes that little dog is awesome!
Those are some beautiful specimens of tortoise. Id like to buy some as soon as my business takes off and i buy a place with a giant backyard. How do these tortoises deal with having sulcatas as neighbors? Also, beautiful shephards you have there im jealous!
Hi everyone. I not always on but i feel i need to come back and thank you guys for helping me raise my torts via advice. Anyways, theyve gotten big lol. I tried as best as i could to prevent pyramiding but i bought them with pyramiding already and my tort noobiness probably added some on top of...
Thats a shame what happened to your tort :(. Be careful how you fire this guy, you dont want him coming back out of spite to hurt your tortoise for costing him his job.

Wow i was about to look up sizes for torts at that age because mine are about that age plus 3 or 4 months and the biggest is 9 lb almost 10. And hes as big as my foot in length(im a size 10.5 US) in shoe. But my smallest is the same as yours which confuses me haha.
My tortoises do this but theyre pretty chill. They just walk and tip stuff over and cause all sorts of shenanigans. I got used to it and just let them enoy the outdoors much all day theyre getting big. My biggest ist 9lb at almost 3 years of age
I managed to find a person to care for my tortoises for now, i got a few shots of them yesterday while they were hanging outside, theyve grown substantially the largest one is about 11 inches in length and 8 in width, i tried my best with their shells, they were born oct 2011 im not if it was...
