I know I haven't been on her for a while, but I had to tell everyone that Dale is a daddy now. This summer with some help from one of the members here on TFO I was brave enough to let Dale breed with one of the girls (Little Eddie). No I haven't changed the name yet. Two nights ago she laid 5...

I sure hope they figure this one out and soon. Poor turtles. :( http://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-200-turtles-washed-ashore-135100531.html;_ylt=A0SO80vL3pVUvHAADqhXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTByaDNhc2JxBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkAw--

I thought that I would post some updated pictures of our Cherryhead, Dale. He is about 10 years old now. We have two females for him, but have not yet put them together since the girls are younger. We had gotten Dale for our son for Christmas a few years back. At that time I had posted some...

Well, it's come to that time where our Cherryheads Dale, Ruby and Eddie have grown too big for our house. We have now moved them out of our boys room and out of our kitchen (my family is thrilled) and have them outside for the summer. We now have to decide what they will be living in this...

I took some new pictures of Fernando and thought I'd post them. I don't know if Walter his previous owner is still on TFO, but thought these were so cute that I'd post them anyway. This is Fernando is his Superman pose. I love it! The next picture is of him in one of his favorite spots in...

I would like to know if the "Conversation" thread is the same as the pm's used to be? If I start a conversation with someone, are they the only ones who can see it. It took me forever to find them to even begin the thread. I have been on here a few times, but this is going to take some...

How old are they before they start to breed? My males about 12 and my females are about 5 to 6.

Here's the link to watching Blackfish if you don't have cable. This documentary received almost a perfect 5 star rating and is well worth watching. There is so much information that people need so they can decide whether or not they want to support this industry of orca's in captivity. It...

Just FYI. CNN is showing the wonderful documentary "Blackfish" tonight at 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. This is the truth about Orca's in captivity. There are former Sea World trainers who speak the truth about this industry. :) Please let me know what you think if you watch it...

I sent a few pm's and now I'm seeing that they didn't send. It says "Not sent." Does anyone know why?

Fernando seems to have some puffy area between his right leg and his neck. I have circled the area in black and red. When he walks you can see it, but sometimes when he turns it disappears. I'm very confused and don't know whether to make a vet appointment or not. I thought that I'd ask the...

Just a few pictures of my Desert Tortoises, Fernando and Houdini. Fernando Houdini Thanks for looking. :D

Well we should be able to tell now. I'm saying that they are both girls. What do you think? And why are their plastrons different colors, do you know? #1 #2

Well it's been a while since I've been on here. I've been raising puppies and have been really busy with them. I've been wondering for a while now whether I can put Dale, Ruby and Little Eddie in the pen outside together. Dale is about 8 years old now and Ruby and Eddie are around 3 and 4...

Just wondering how much a 10 year old Sulcata might weigh? We had someone bring one to the school today and I thought it was slightly big to be 10 years old. It's weight was around 40 to 50 pounds. :)

The puppies will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and are eating us out of house and home. :D This has been one of the best experiences of our lives. I can't tell you how fulfilling they are. They will be going to their new homes in two weeks. I will miss them, but we will be keeping one for...

I'm hoping this site comes through. My sister had just sent this to me about a two headed tortoise, but I didn't realize that it's more like two tortoises in one. It does look to be in very good shape. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/06/two-headed-tortoise-ukraine_n_1323854.html

I know I haven't been on here very much in the past few months and these are part of the reason why. Look what we've been up to. This is Emma our 4 year old AKC Chocolate Labrador and these are her precious babies. I know Terry has already seen them since we're friends on Facebook, but I...

My sons girlfriend sent over some beet leaves for the tortoises and I was wondering if they can eat them? :)

This is what Nathan (my second son) painted for Noah (my 4th son) on his 12th birthday. Noah is a pitcher and definitely sees himself in the MLB in a few years. Extra credit if you can tell me who the painting is of. :D :P Oh yeah and Nathan is 6'1'' tall, notice that my 12 year old is not...
