Hi everyone! It has been quite awhile since I've posted on the tortoise forum. I have 2 desert tortoises, both around 7-8 years old. (They are both permitted) I wanted to post some pics and see if anyone could guess on gender! The first 4 pictures are of one tortoise (Donatello) who I've had...

I almost had a heart attack last night! I walked into my room and Robbie was half way in the hide, I opened the lid and Donatello was flipped :( I picked her up and righted her, she pee'd everywhere. Poor thing was probably so stressed out. I was so scared when I first saw her, I...

I have had my youngest California Desert Tortoise for nearly 18 months and have seen hardly any growth at all :/ This is him about 18 months ago and this is him today He used to be housed in a 45inch x 30inch tortoise table my dad and i made. He lived in there with his older brother, who...

Hello Everyone :) So I recently adopted another Desert Tortoise (Ca/Texas mix?) anyways, She/He(if anyone can tell???) is doing very well and becoming very well acclimated to its new settings. In case you guys forgot, I have 2 other Ca desert tortoises. 1 is 4 years old and the other...

I'm getting another Desert tortoise tomorrow! I'm so excited :) My dad built an outdoor enclosure for her/him. I haven't decided on a name yet and I'm not sure of the sex. I'll post pictures as soon as the little one arrives :tort:

I can no longer house the 2 redfoots I recently aquired. They are about 6 inches each and I am giving them away to someone who will give them a good home. They are very hearty but not in the best of health. Both shells are a bit pyramided but not soft or flexible at all. They have slight...

So here they are!! :) This is Brutus: He is bigger and more dominant, already mounting the smaller one. He is very outgoing and I love the solid color or his head. And this is Stevie Wonder: The smaller more docile one. Her vision is pretty poor, from what I can tell she isn't...

So tomorrow I am getting 2 redfoot tortoises. I don't know a whole lot about them, but I'm told one is blind. I know there is some pyramiding but they are still small so hopefully with some proper care I can halt that :) I'm getting them for free and I'm super excited!

I have been so frustrated! I cannot figure out what species of tortoise this little girl is. I'm not sure on her age. She is missing the scute above her head and has a little fat, stumpy tail. She is oddly light in color! Thanks!

So I purchased my first "non-tortoise" reptile today :D This is my baby veiled chameleon, Incognito! Here's his cage If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it :) I'm new to chameleons! Thanks for looking

Here are some pictures of Donatello over the time I've had him! He has grown quite a bit :) This picture was from when I almost lost him :( And here he is in the same bowl, this morning! His old cage... His current oasis ;) Also, can anyone tell the sex yet? I say...

This morning when I woke up and looked over the younger of my two desert torts, Franklin. I noticed his eyes were a bit more swollen then usual. They have always been a bit raised but not too bad. I carried him into the kitchen with me to grab their food. I looked down and I was horrified to...

YAYAYAYA my boyfriend is coming down from central california to take me to the San Diego zoo for my birthday :) Galapagos, Galapagos, Galapagos...Woo! :tort: Just so everyone know, he laughed at me because the first thing I said after he told me he was surprising me and coming down was "Oh my...

Donatello and Franklin are nice and healthy now and I just revamped their enclosure! I'd love your opinion, and please let me know if there is anything I should change! These are the lights I'm using Donatello :) Swimming Franklin :) Thanks for looking! Sorry the pics are...

So, I took Franklin to the Vet yesterday. I went to the one list here on the tortoise forum, for Anaheim CA and wasn't to happy :( The place was dirty, and filled with cats running around. He explained that Franklin was in dire shape, which i don't see how that could be true since I see him...
