Haven't checked in here for awhile. Both are doing fine. Morty weighs in at 8.84 pounds about 11 inches long. Kobe is 4.65 pounds about 9 inches.

Kobe is now 5 9/16 inches long. She has grown from 40g to 598g or 1.32 pounds in the year I have had "her". Mortimer is now 6 7/8 inches long. He has grown from 55g to a wapping 1144g or 2.52 pounds since I got "him".

Kobe has finally figured out that all this green stuff growing in "her" new outdoor box is quite tasty.

My latest "ever temporary" enclosure.

One of my neighbors that just lost two golden retrievers back-to-back. Both very young. One from cancer the second from a heart attack. They weren't ready for a new puppy yet so they got into a program where they house service dogs that have finished training but are waiting for their new home...

Hello San Diego. Mallow is by far Mortimer's favorite treat. [hr] It has all but dried up around my place. I went to Mission Bay today and it is still growing beautifully in the rocks around the bay.

Are Jacaranda blossoms and or leaves ok for Sulcata? I had my torts outside this morning. They came across a pile of fallen flowers and happily started munching. Of course they are Sulcata so they happily munch just about anything in their path. I didn't let them eat much until I verify that...

Not my favorite way to spend the day. The things we do to keep our critters happy and our friends critters. I even a Fennec Fox that loves munching Hissers

As some of you know this is Wally Gator. My local Alligator Lizard friend who lives in my garage. This is both a sad and happy "tail". I came home from work Monday and saw two ravens acting weird in my front yard. I quickly realized they had Wally cornered between two Sago Palms. The second...

For some reason my subscribed threads button stopped working. I just get this message. I tried rebooting my phone and even deleted and reinstalled the app. Still not working.

I'm up for the challenge. This could take awhile.

This is Mortimer and Ernesto.

I don't know if this is old news or normal behavior, but I noticed something very interesting recently. I was putting some plants in my new enclosure and when I was tamping down the soil my torts came running. Now every time I tap my knuckles on the substrate they come to check me out. Even...

I bought a flake of orchard grass hay a couple months ago. Keep testing to see if they will eat it. Today they devoured it. After they ate all the weeds I gave them were gone. They are Sulcatas so it's not too surprising that they ate everything in sight. But it was kind of a breakthrough...

My wife started feeding the local lizards some of our surplus mealworms and cockroaches. Now every morning they line up in front of my garage door. When the door opens it's like a wave. One actually runs up my pant leg knowing there is a bug in my hand. Then he will wait on my shirt until I...

After weeks ( 7 to be exact ) of listening to. That thing's to big. Where's it gonna fit? Why do you have to spend so much time on your tortoises? I finally got my new enclosure installed last weekend. Last night she said "you know when Mortimer outgrows that I think we should get a smaller...

Allira is the sweetest beardy in the world. She sits on my shoulder or chest every night watching TV. But when she gets into a feeding frenzy watch out. If it wiggles it will get attacked. This time it was my thumb. I was feeding her roaches and one got out of her sight. While I was trying to...

Somehow she just doesn't quite understand the kind of loving caring giving person it takes to completely ignore friends family and all other responsibilities for weeks on end to build a new Tort enclosure.
