Yeah.....that's a good website. I'm not going to go digging through it to find those two plants though (if they are even there), when I can pull them out of the ground in about 2 seconds :-). Starting this topic was about as much effort as Im willing to make. I'm hoping if someone knows off the...
Thanks for the advice friends! I'll continue the treatment like I have been....we are already 20 days in, so I'm guessing another 10 days or so should put me in the safe zone if there was anything active left.
We shall see if my son loses interest as he gets older. He is pretty eatin up with...
If he does that's fine....I already got passed the wife and they are home, so he did his job :). So is that "active" shell rot on the bigger two (and I should continue treating it as such), or is that just the left over results of it (pardon my ignorance....all the torts I have Dont really have...
Well, it seems like my torts just weren't doing it for my son, and he REALLY wanted some red foots :). I typically get in trouble everytime I bring home a new tortoise, but this time I had someone else to blame it on, so I hollered at a guy a few towns over, and picked up a few to his absolute...
I understand a lot of people have used linoleum on the floors of their tortoise tables and what not, though I have heard of very few that have used it long term. I have a hard time believing that that slick of a surface isn't going to result in joint issues down the road. Does anyone have...
Well right....I did that too, but they changed the chemicals they are using now, and I was reading a few different spots that said it was safe now. Was just looking for a definitive yes or no on the treated stuff they are popping out these days. I'll just use normal plywood, and seal it. Thanks...
I don't know....that's the question :-). If there is pressure treated plywood that is safe then I will buy that and make this quick, but if not then I'll just get normal plywood and apply a ton of layers of the nontoxic wood sealer, and just reseal it every few years (which I would prefer to not...
I finally tore down spikes old winter digs, and he is getting a major upgrade. untreated plywood for the floor was fine in the passed cause I would just rip it out and put new down whenever necessary, but this thing is going to have insulated floor, and the walls will be framed up ontop of the...
Right. I guess I was thinking about it more in the context of if the residue was up on the grape vines high, it wouldn't be accessible to Spike until the leaves fell off (which I will rake up before he is back over there) as opposed to if I washed it off, then it would be down in the yard where...
Ken/Chantel I'll load him up with cactus pads and the like to keep him moving, and he will be getting a couple soaks a day for the next while. I'll also soak down the whole area tonight to make sure and get the rest of the residue off, though that might just wash it into the yard?

Good advice. I have a portion of the yard fenced off for the pointers as a dog run though, so I'll probably just put them in their kennels for the next week or so, and put spike in there. That way I can keep him out of the chemicals, and have time to relocate his summer digs to a spot still...
I'm so mad right now, I could sucker punch a baby! His "A" frame is in direct sun right now, and my 100+ pound tort that's never dug a day in his life since I've had him, has dug 3 or 4 feet into the ground under the frame (and is still getting after it). He is angling under my rock wall, and...
Thats exactly what I told him, and gave him my cell number. What's crazy though, is that there really wasn't much on his side of the fence....I keep it trimmed away from the fence on my side to prevent this sort of thing from happening....I've just been a little busier than normal lately. It...
It gets hot down here this time of year.....because of this, I have a little "A" frame up under all of my grape vines for Spike to chill in during the summer. He really likes hanging out under there during the hot parts of the day. Well, the neighbor decided he didn't like the portions of the...
So I walked out onto the porch this morning right, and immediately started getting bit by Mosquitos. I don't know why, but today was the last straw! Good bye mud pit, hello concrete spa! Had to ask the boys where they wanted, spike picked a good spot, and my son gave it the thumbs up, so off we...
