Moving to central Texas soon where they have fire ants. Anyone have problems with them and adult sulcatas?

Did anyone see the 60 minutes show a couple of weeks ago about the illegal trade of tortoises. It featured a wild plowshare [probably not right spelling] that was beautiful, almost bell shaped, from Madagascar. Also interviewed Eric Good, who is a tortoise conservator in California. Really good...

Silo came out of his shed to frolick in the snow yesterday.

One of the kids volleyballs went down silos burrow, took the turn and is gone, hopefully he can play soccer and push it out. He comes out to graze about 8 everynight :(

Silo has a summer home [burrow], if she lays a clutch of eggs will she do it in her burrow or build a seperate nest ? Also, how long after being fertilized will she lay them ?

Trying to determine sex of my 7 year old, don't worry, he has not been on his back in years and Marbles just wants to play with his ball.[hr]

A friend found this tortoise on a west texas street, any ideas?

Silo unburrowed after a few cold nights.

so my 50 lb sullie has a burrow he uses in the spring and summer, he was really trying to get into this enclosed area 8 days ago, the nights were warm so i let him in and he went straight to the burrow. Since then he has only come out once and eaten only once whereas he had been eating daily...

Although he has a nice warm house he sleeps in, as soon as the sun is out for a couple of hours, he still comes out and basks in it against our back wall, he came out yesterday when it was 26 degrees!!!!

Silo has gone from a routine of staying in his burrow until evening and coming out only to eat to coming out first thing in the morning and pacing continuously. He has also lost his appetite, only eating a little mazuri and refusing his favorite veggies. He is urinating and pooping so i dont...

He use to only come out of his burrow after 6pm but he is out all day now. Went shopping for...

I found a newly hatched desert ornate under a hide. It was barely moving and eyes swollen shut, brought it inside, soaked it for 24 hours, now soaking it in a watery mix of carrot baby food. Eyes look better today but not open, any suggestions?

I hopefully have a chance to pick up two new leopard hatchlings in the next couple of weeks, Besides the obvious size issue, what are the biggest differences in raising these two breeds. When grown, can they be in the same yard?

_____/\_____\0/ _____but i thought this was funny

Had a nice rainstorm yesterday, it seems everytime it rains, my desert ornates are triggered to move, they will constantly look for a way out of their enclosure.

I rarely see other sulcatas so i was excited to see they had them at Gulf World in panama city fl. I thought they would be great specimens but was disappointed. They have three on exhibit and they all looked terrible, really bad pyramiding on all three, one seemed almost flat, very lethargic...

anybody have info or links about raising russians, i have a sulcata and desert boxes but looking to expand

fed my guys scrambled eggs today and they went to town on them. it almost seemed like it created a katnip response, usually they eat hot dogs and june bugs i collect from my pool in the morning, they usually wont eat fruit and veggies but i am guessing because they live in the desert, there are...
