Awww, he's beautiful!

Welcome! He is beautiful!

They are magnificent! How large are they (in inches and pounds)?

Wow, he is one lucky tortoise! I have a CDT but she is only 10 months old so she only goes in the backyard under supervision. Does Mert hibernate in that igloo? What state are you in? I am in So. Ca. Do you have a rainy season, if so, what do you do with Mert then? I am new to this, can you tell.

How do you provide humidity without special gadgets? My son rescued a neglected African Leopard tortoise 3 days ago. We live in So. Ca. where the humidity is usually low,(except the last few days). The shell is irregular, and widely spaced between the (don't know what the plates with design are...

What is MBD?

Sorry to ask a dumb question but what is MBD?

What a sweet story, love it! Now I am going to try that. My Desert tortoise is 9-1/2 months and I take her out to the backyard sometimes.

Just post the info when everything is decided and I'm there! I live in Monrovia/Pasadena area.

Thanks I will remember the strawberry (you mean the green leafy tops, right?). My lawn is St. Augustine which they are supposed to like, she doesn't touch it. I took her outside today and she ate the tiny yellow flowers of the clover, not the grass, weeds, leaves, etc. I am certainly not new to...

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. I have been reading these forums for a while now and just registered. My tortoise was given to me by a friend who has 3 CDTs between ages 60-100 yrs. She has had them for many years. She told me to keep her indoors until she is 5 yrs old. Mostly my questions are regarding...

Hi, I'm new here and trying to learn how to post and use this site. I have a California Desert Tortoise named Shelly (original, huh). She is 9-1/2 months old, I got her when she was 3 days hatched. She is beautiful, healthy, great appetite. She lives inside the house in a tank with a UVB light...
