Thanks Lancecham, even if no one wants to make the trade, I'm perfectly ok with that too. My sulcatas rock and the trade was/is an offer I have been toying with. Kind of an upgrade in a way. This offer can sit here for a couple more years before anyone is in a situation to take it seriously...

Jesus Christ lol now I remember why I stopped coming to this website and veered over to the dart frog community instead to get my online forum fun. I think the whole tortoise community has a screw loose in their head or something. First off, I'm a 29 year old veteran with 10 years of...

I'm glad you guys are so concerned. That's why I'm looking for a young one. I have 3 semesters of school left, then I'll have my degree and BAM! time to move back down south ;) [hr] That's not true at all Laura. That was a reasonable trade offer when you compare the prices of those 2...

I'm interested in trading Shelly & New Guy for a young aldabra, preferably female. Shelly's shell is about 17 inches long and New Guy is about 16 inches. They are sexually active but haven't had a successful clutch yet due to their indoor enclosure and lack of room to create a burrow. Shelly...

I can't give them a spot to dig for now because we have to live in a townhouse and follow their stupid rules. That's why I was shocked to even see an egg in there to begin with. I put under some heat (mid/upper 80s) and this weekend my friend who has pythons said I could put it in his...

So today was my last day of spring semester. I got home from school, misted the frog vivs and fed them. Since it's going to be raining the next couple of days I'm sure the house is going to get loud haha. Anyways, I went to go feed the torts in the garage and I found this single egg sitting...

The 49ers QB has had a sulcata since he was 10. Just thought I'd share... http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2012/12/05/colin-kaepernick-owns-a-100-pound-tortoise/1748203/

You're very lucky too murdoc! I'll be putting a smoke alarm in the garage this weekend.

If 1 person reads this and goes and further secures their lamps, the post is well worth it. Don't be pretty sure, be 100% sure.

Hey everyone, just a heads when you're building your enclosure or for your pre-existing one. Last night I was in the house working on schoolwork and my wife came home and said there was smoke in the garage and it STUNK! I went out there to see and from what I can figure, my male must've been...

http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-56982.html#axzz2DXhrsn7q Here's what I did for mine in MN. It broke my budget and it still obviously too small so be prepared to drop some bucks if you're going to build something in your basement. Next winter mine will be 8 X 8 instead of the 8 X 4 it is now.

Haha that's awesome!! I had 1 in the newspaper from something similar. Congrats on the find!!! :) *WHEW!*

:( Sorry to hear about Hank

As much as I want to let them run around the house, I can't. We are renting a townhouse and I'm worried the walls will get damaged. When we buy a house in June (hopefully), it will be a different story. I like wellingtons idea of giving them the garage in the winters. Then I can just tack...

So far no it's been pretty good. The garage door insulation kit made a pretty big difference. It was in the 30s the other morning outside and 60s in the garage outside of the box. I have a smith machine out of view and when I work out in there I'm in shorts and a t shirt and am comfortable...

Good idea Wellington, I'm going to save that idea for when the timing is right. Wish me luck!

No I can't let them roam the garage. What you can't see is the weight lifting set up and all of the crap we couldn't unpack when we moved because we had to move into a smaller house that's hoggin up a lot of space. And the other half is where my wife's gonna park when the snow starts. She's...

haha yeah I was having a fly problem, but that's being taken care of. It's probably time to put new strips up ;) I'm pissed about the size of the enclosure too but it's seriously the best I could do for now. I'm not sure if I will just add another 8 X 4 of open area for them or build a 2nd...

Yeah they climb up and down the ramp all on their own with no problems.
