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...

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, 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...

Hello, We have been asked to help find the owners of a tortoise that was found out in the Angels National Forest by motorcyclists not too far from some homes in Bouquet Canyon, Santa Clarita area in California. It is a nice looking tortoise so it was cared for. The location does worry us...

By any chance is there anyone in Hawaii looking to adopt a 5 year old male sulcata? It is not for breeding - pet only please. I was contacted to try and help someone find a new home for it. It would be best if it did not have to be shipped to the mainland if at all possible, so I thought I...

Hello, Being part of a rescue it is really not our thing to allow breeding here (sulcatas & DT's mostly), but we have a small group of box turtles here who after a few years of being together have now done the deed of digging the hole, packing the nest, and finally going off to bed for the...

Hello Fellow Shell Lovers :cool: The CTTC Valley Chapter is having a breeders night Friday June 21st. Here is an insert from their e-mail meeting notice. "This will only be legal animals – sorry no desert tortoises that night as they are illegal to breed and sell. The prices and...

Hi, We have a tortoise found in West Hills (Southern California - the Valley) area. If you are missing your pet please identify - we want to get it home ASAP. Thank you, :tort:lady

Hello Fellow Shell Lovers :-) I was wondering if anyone here has ever purchased a radiated from a hobbyist in Oakland, CA, named Juan C. H. on his ads, but Jim on his e-mails? If so, your opinion please. Thank you, :tort:

Hello, We have a found tortoise near Magnolia and Whitsett, in Valley Village, in Southern California. Please contact me if you have lost a tortoise and you will need to identify it (that is why I am not). Thank you

Hello (hopefully AldabraMan), I wanted to inquire, what are the signs that you should watch for with an Aldabra for any respiratory issues. I have been a keeper of sulcatas (they keep me) for years now and want to know if there is anything different to watch for. Is it okay if they have a...

Hello Fellow Shell Lovers, I am a member of a rescue group that can no longer take in snapping turtles. These turtles are illegal and for many years we had a chapter that took the burden of housing them and getting them safely shipped out of state to a sanctuary. This sanctuary is more than...

Hello fellow shell friends, :tort: I am curious about something that is just bugging me a little, and I thought this would be the place to chat about it (if not moderator please move to correct spot). I keep seeing all these ads for female sulcatas at very small sizes. I have seen them as...

Southern California - Reseda (the valley) I just got word that one of our reptile vets is holding a pet fair and there will be no charge permitting of desert tortoises right there. Our chair lady is doing this. It is from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm in Reseda at VCA McClave Animal Hospital (Sunday...

First I apologize if I have picked the wrong spot to notify the members of this so please feel free to move it where it is best for this information (thank you). Today I was called in to take into custody a male California Desert Tortoise at the Castaic Animal Shelter (S. CA) and while I was...

Hi, I picked up three abandoned and now rescued sulcatas yesterday all under a pound each and all three of them have very bent anal scutes (up ward). They are all light in color - some ivory coloring but not albino. They also all three have narrow beaks with a slighly shorter bottom jaw. I...

I noticed a question similar to this so I thought I would ask here too. I am in S. California and Tucan Jungle is too. You can physically go there and see the tortoises. Because I live close enough to drive it, and I do not need to ship the tortoise (I agree Aldabraman is great too) has...
