Interesting! I got a notice on my phone that I was tagged here. yes, we are on Instagram using the same handle: KinginCulver. When anyone asks about Ryan, I redirect them here for info. It's been a helpful tool. Sometimes you just want to look at pictures.

Not quite sure what to make of this: http://gawker.com/man-crowdfunds-penis-surgery-for-his-pet-tortoise-1565693347

so in the past 12 hours or so, she's had a long soak, a bunch of cactus, some mazuri, and she's produced some successful poops, pee, and urates. BMs are a little watery, but a few firm ones towards the end. would there be any other cause for the swelling that i haven't considered?

thanks yvonne! should i be concerned with eggs pushing already? at this age and size? is there a thread i should be reading about this? "so you have a female tortoise - egg-bound 101" or something like that? *she* (this will take some getting used to) is my only tort and i don't have plans...

I noticed that there is some swelling at the cloaca on my sulcata. He is about 18 months old and around 7 inches plastron length - I don't know if this is normal, or if this should be something I should have the vet look at. I tried searching on here for prolapse info and pictures for...

i love your growth chart! here's Ryan - one year old.

awesome! sounds like your backyard is her favorite sanctuary. bravo!

very cool. were you concerned about it getting too cold at night? just curious how you went about planning and such.

i just had to share this: http://gawker.com/man-fails-to-smuggle-pet-turtle-disguised-as-pet-hambur-1002398176 “There’s no turtle in there; just a hamburger. There’s nothing special to see.” whhaaat.

that's chessie. she belongs to Clarissa, who is a member of this forum.

Yes, mine has had a taste but he's not crazy about it. He'll nibble on it from time to time.
