Thank you ! ! ! We will be looking for you :-) We do have our first speaker for May 9th and it should be a BIG surprise! Releasing the information early next week :-)

Make sure to say "Hi" haven't seen you in a while. I know your speaking engagement went fantastic at our Inland Empire Chapter. We have a new branch coming to Santa Clarita starting May 9th. I will put up an announcement for that next week. You know we will be looking for some of your...

I love your advice and think it will help some people who are on the fence as you have mentioned. Clearly the truly stupid won't be reading any of this. I am a frustrated fellow volunteer and feel you. I see nothing wrong with reaching out to anyone who will listen. If it helps one person...

The weather is going to cool off some, and if you're looking for a nice outing for the weekend, consider attending a CTTC show. Please come out and support the shows, and help fellow Forum and CTTC members "get the word out" to educate the public about our shelled friends. Here's the scoop...

Unfortunately, I can tell you it is not that 8 year old desert tortoise - this is an old guy. I do have him now, so he will get a good home soon. Just wish we could have found his original family. Thanks! :tort:

I was hoping the same thing. Sometimes a tortoise can show up the next year. I hope they are still checking on this forum and the shelter. :tort:

Hello, There is a found pet male adult desert tortoise at the Castaic Animal Shelter, in CA, that is being held until Thursday at noon. After that the CTTC is taking it into custody if the owner does not claim it. Are you missing your male desert tortoise? Do you live near Acton / Agua...

Hello, Very cute Greek. Too young to guarantee gender in my opinion. :tort:

Southern California :tort: Sorry.

:tort: I love the show - LOL. I too find the humor and family values wonderful. I would never hunt a day in my life unless my life depended on it, but I still love the show. A way of life is what you were raised to know it as - enculturation - there is no one right way. Ethnocentrism is...

:tort: Thank you for the added disclosure as all rescues are not created equal. The rescue I work with has a zero adoption fee, period. We operate 100% on donations that are not required at all, or even suggested amounts. That is why I get the big bucks for often spending 40 hours a week at...

:tort: Thank you for reading and responding to my post, but I was not commenting on the scapegoat tactics - until now. I agree it is pathetic and the two really should be separate issues in my opinion. I was really looking to defend the rescues that work very hard at what they do and...

Hello, Never a dull moment on TF :-) I want to make a comment and ask a few questions, but mostly I want to keep receiving notices about this thread as I am very interested. My comment - early in this thread someone mentioned expensive adoption fees, yard inspections, must return it if...

Thank you all - I told her that it is recommended to bring them in for the winter especially while they are so tiny. She does have a set up indoors so it is not an issue for her to keep the babies up. Her adults do fine outside all year and someday these two tiny ones can too - just not yet...

That is what I want to tell her, but I really wanted someone who keeps them to confirm I am not over reacting. Thank you, :tort:

Hello, I do not keep aquatics at all and I have a member who just discovered two babies in her pond from her adults. It is approaching the 30's overnight where she lives and she is not sure if she should take them in and keep them up or let them ride it out in the manmade raised pond in the...

Follow up post. The tortoise - perfect 60+ pound male sulcata - has been re-homed. Owner(s) never came forward after large advertising attempt in the area and some out of area. Thank you. :tort:

Hi Tom, That is a good question - what makes some of them darker? I thought possibly due to DNA for one, and the other idea was not enough sunlight. What do you think? Anyone who wants one good looking and healthy male sulcata should contact me - if you live in the LA area. I have a...
