Hey, guys, It has been a year or more since Darwin and I have checked in. Life has been busy, just hard to find the time ya know? Anyway, Darwin is doing great. She is 4 years old now and though she outgrew her scale a long time ago, I guess her to be around 40 pounds? Here is the latest photo...
Forgive me for posting this here but I figured folks could run across this with all kinds of torts? I have a 3 year old sulcata that is 16'' long and weighs 18.6 pounds as of almost two weeks ago. I read a LOT of different tort pages and see people saying things like my Sulcata is 14'' long and...
Darwin and my mom January 24, 2014 to today June 28, 2015 WOW! It' so hard to realize how much they grow when you see them every day but when you see a comparison like this...... WOW!
I haven't posted Darwin in a while. She is now 33 months old. She is 15 1/2'' long and 11 1/14'' wide. She weighs 16 pounds but that was last week. Haha!
My foot for comparison size 11 1/2''
Just want to share how things are with my tort (Darwin the 14 pound Sulcata) and I. She is a puppy dog! She is a puppy dog! She is a puppy dog! Haha! She follows me every step I take. She comes to me when I motion for her. I used to be afraid she would bite me but I no longer worry about that...
I wasn't paying attention and my Darwin (14 pound sulcata) got a hold of a styrofoam cup and ate half of it before I noticed. How bad is this gonna be? Can she pass it? I'm FrEaKiNg out!
OK so I got tired of guessing and got exact measurements today. Darwin is now 32 months old. She is exactly 14'' from front to back and 10 1/2'' from side to side. Her weight is 14 3/4 pounds. Does that sound good? My question is,,,, Do they stop growing at times or during the winter??? She has...
I've had these guys about a year. They were rescued by my son at his job (restaurant) They came in a bag of crawfish and was about to be dumped into boiling water but my son saw them just in time. I have really gotten attached to these little guys. They have so much personality! But don't let...
This is my Little Ornate Nile Monitor. "Dvader" Just wondering if someone can recommend a monitor forum that is close to being as good as the tortoise forum?
Hey guys, I got a problem! So my Darwin is 28 months old. She is now 13 pounds and 14 inches. She has always been calm and allowed me to touch her face and showed no interest in biting me but as of this last week, SHE WANT'S TO EAT ME! She tries to get my fingers at every opportunity and as soon...
Well Darwin was growing by leaps and bounds but she hasn't grown ANY in the last 3 months. She must be a rare dwarf sulcata. Haha! She has topped out at 13 inches and 11 pounds. I have done nothing different so I don't understand why she stopped growing???
My Darwin and I have been productive members here for about 2 years now? Before I rescued Darwin, I knew NOTHING about torts. But luckily I stumbled onto TFO on day one. I received help and information from so many that helped Darwin and I get on the right track. @Tom was a huge help in...
