A couple of weeks ago I posted photos about Master and his fangs.
He broke a couple off in a zucchini and this is the one that is left. I'm wondering if he is hiding them in his tort cave?
Daughter A was working in a pet store. Daughter B got a fantastic new pet for Christmas from Daughter A!
The little guy was a perfect apartment pet. Quiet, didn't bark, wasn't on the banned pet lease list...
And then "Master" began to grow. And grow... then grow some more. He grew to...
The more tort's you buy, the more they will bread to keep selling to you. Then the price will go up.
One day you decide to disengage from your release program, while tort production is at an all time high-

Hi Mrspatti, You are wonderful for doing what you can for this little tort. Reading over this forum and learning all you can will be the biggest and most positive step you can take. From here you will learn all the little nuances of your tort once you learn what kind of tort he/she is!

I have an electronic thermometer with a remote sensor for temp and humidity. The display, sits in the kitchen window and the remote sensor is in his 'condo' where he sleeps. I can constantly monitor Master's temp and humidity.
I live in Florida so I only have to worry about the temps in the...
Master get's zucchini on a regular basis, and carrots, although he doesn't like the carrots as much.
I think his favorite snack is Ivory soap.
Yep, Ivory soap. We had a bar of soap in the back yard cleaning something. Turning our backs for just a second (just like a human child) he started...
