Real talk - someone needs to rescue this poor turtle. http://www.thefrisky.com/2014-05-02/just-a-photo-of-v-stiviano-taking-her-pet-turtle-for-an-evening-walk/

um, suprise? i'm wondering what is considered a "common" tortoise - anyone know? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2614821/Victor-tortoise-grew-GREW-Family-bought-common-pet-14-years-ago-discover-rare-giant-breed-weighs-NINE-STONE.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 p.s. 9...

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

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...

The inspiration. Nailed it!

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.

Growing alongside the ivy, the one with the little purple flowers?

Is growing on the lawn, safe for my sulcata to eat?

Ryan's favorite treat and snack plant, his hibiscus, is suffering from aphids - what's a good short term and long term treatment? Something I can do to prevent or repel the pests, while still making sure that the hibiscus is still safe for him to eat? is there such a thing as organic...

my powersun MVB just burned out, and I had a Exo Terra Solar Glow MVB on hand so just replaced it with that - I was curious about the differences any others may have observed? I notice that the solar glo seems to output a "whiter" light, while the old powersun was more yellow. does this mean...

Cracks, chips, mismatched pattern ok. Prefer deep dish. Must be able to hold water for minimum 30 minutes. Will not be used for casseroles. Ever. again. He is growing---!!!

Touchdown!

Ryan has outgrown his hide, time for a bigger one?

View from tort cam #2 shows: Ryan just pigged out, left a wake of veggies in his path, and is catching the last rays of "daylight" before the timer goes off.

Well my 4 month old sulcata made it into the triple digit weight class before the new year! I had just weighed him in at 92 grams last weekend - I hope he didn't eat gravel to put on those grams (joking, of course there is no gravel to eat in his enclosure that would be dangerous). He is now 109...

I can't seem to find much info or photos of what a healthy plastron should look like. Ryan is a 4 month old sulcata, his plastron is hard and is showing good growth lines (at least i think?). I was wondering about the tiny swirl pattern on his larger plastron panel on the lower half, his left...

Ryan had to wait for his breakfast because I couldn't get out of bed this morning, now that its "winter" here in SoCal it's getting harder to kick the covers off... "Service at this b&b is so slow" "Buffet is open!"
