Well October is here in Oregon and I decided franklin had out grown his old house. He was 50 g when we got him almost 6 years ago and now 35 pounds. I’m going to replant his yard next week because he is doing a number on it! So far he doesn’t love his new home but it has only been a few hours!

It tends to be my pattern to give a weight update sometime in the summer of our growth. So here it is... we successfully survived another year in Oregon with a ton of rain and some snow! I think before winter franklin is going to need a new outside home. I found a picture here of franklin the...

My big guy is now 3 ish :) winter here on oregon keeps my guy in his winter shed he seems to be growing and warm. My question is on his winter feeding. He currently gets muzuri plus spring mix 3 x a week and grass weeds and hay and alfalfa 4 x a week. For winter do you think this is ok for...

Haven't been much lately but wanted to give an update, my little franklin will be 3 this winter he spent most of his summer in his new outdoors pen that I built last fall. He spends an hour or two out grazing and soaking during the day and the rest of it hiding out on the shade. I just added a...

I'm back from the vet, he thinks Franklin is a girl but how would he know at 510g and 6 in long!! Also thinks I should raise him on a wood or astro turf carpet to prevent parasites, what a idiot! He was pretty good about feeding and lights but he said franklins curved shell (up by his head) is...

Don't think he knows what to do with the extra space!

Looking for ideas on what's your torts favorite food/plants/flower. I have a new out door enclosure with lots of grass and weeds but I'm looking for some more plants and flowers to plant! I would like to plant things he will enjoy eating to expand his diet.

I picked franklins favorite dandelion flower on my way to give him a little soak, he couldn't decide if he should eat or soak! :) lol

I have all my post set and will have base board and wire up tomorrow! As you can see in no carpenter but is working. Once wire is up I'm going to replant and make sure it's growing good for spring/summer 2014!

I was all set to build Tom nice little outdoor night box when I realized that for me I still might have some issues. So my question is for those of you that live in colder climate what do you use for lighting during the day and a basking spot if its to cold for them to go outside? My little...
