Just thought I should let you all know that Rascal passed away this week. A very hungry hawk made it's way into the chicken wire and already had him before I could get there. We are all devastated here. :*(
Better luck to you all and I cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given...
:( yes i am re homing a my baby. He has been outside most of his life and we are forced to be apartment bound for quite some time. i just couldn't take away his natural sunlight. He LOVES it outside.
Hatch date: Nov. 2009
Adoption price for him and his home: $150 (??)
Thanks everyone...
Hi everyone! I haven't been on in quite awhile due to a new work schedule and nothing really new yo speak of about Rascal. He's still cute as ever and is growing like a weed (post is about a friends desert tort). He is already super social and lets me rub his chin! He is now officially a...
Ok I kind of NEED to hibernate him this year b/c we will be moving in with the in laws for a few months and have nowhere to keep him indoors but this momma is so nervous about it! lol. he's a very healthy yearling and is already slowing down his eating and activity. Any tips or advice for this...
Hi everyone! I haven't been on in a bit (finally got a job!) but Rascal is still as rascally as ever and growing like a weed it seems. We made him a new table yesterday that hopefully he can stay in for about a year. :) Enjoy the pics! (taken with busted phone so bare with me lol)
Pic of the...
....how on earth does such a giant turd come from such a tiny tort?? Is this normal for them? So many substrate covered turds went uncleaned in the past b/c i thought they were just clumps of dirt or rocks!! lol
I'll be building Rascal a bigger indoor table soon and was thinking of putting a table top fountain in the table, dug into the dirt, to use has his watering hole. Am I asking for trouble here?? lol I want it to be pretty for me but functional for him. These are the two I'm looking at. I'd add...
okay....i'm getting fire bellied toads and put together the 20 gallon tank today. I want to wait about a week to get the frogs to make sure the habitat is accurate and any help would be appreciated! :) Here are some photos of what I have now. I want it to hold the feeder guppies humanely so...
My failed attempt at making the giant tort tub look good in my home and not like a plastic tub with a bunch of wires...
Due for a good cleaning so don't mind the mess :)
Some of Rascals friends and hides that he is quickly outgrowing! :)

Today it rained in Rascals indoor tub. He's loves the rain and lounges on his basking rock letting me soak him....I kinda feel like God when I get to control the weather in there too. So I guess it's a win win. :)
Happy Memorial Day! Tell a Soldier "Thank you" today!
So, because of some stupid little kids trying to steal Rascal, I've had to move him indoors and he is not happy about it. :( So I'm gonna give this a shot since this is a temporary home. So would anyone like to adopt Rascal (must be able to live outside!) with the option of getting him back when...
I cannot adopt these little girls and you will probably not find a better price, so if your in AZ check this out!

ok I know torts in tanks usually don't mix b/c of lack of air ventilation but we just moved into an apartment and our porch, unfortunately, gets no sun at all. Great for my electricity bill, not so great for Rascal. So we are moving him back inside (with daily trips outside in a kiddie pool). I...
So I'm not sure who remembers the post I made a bit ago about a friend who was unintentionally neglecting theirs DT's. 3 of different sizes in a 29 gallon tall tank with no UVB... Well guess what? After weeks of talking to them, they have built an outdoor enclosure! All I can get them to do...
ok so we have the option of getting a baby beardie or a baby iggy....which would you all recommend for me and my family? We have young children as well. :)
Thanks!!
I noticed Rascal being extra energetic today so we hung out outside most of the day and he tasted a bit of everything and even got to play with Snickers a bit!

So the people I recieved Rascal from are really really close family friends and after learning the proper ways of caring for Rascal I've tried giving them some advice on what would be better for theirs and they just smile and nod it off. They have 3 DT's in a 29 gallon tall tank, the only heat...
