    Tortoise Basics for Prospective or Beginner Tortoise Owners (discussion)

    Wow, thank you for that. It boiled everything down into one easy-to-read piece, and calmed my nerves about certain things. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that, because while I spent the majority of my life with reptiles, it was more lizards than tortoises, and they are very...

    people with one tort, let me hear ya!

    I understand all too well, as a 25 year old freelancer with hardly any money who just moved into a new unfurnished apartment in Manhattan (been living here for 3 years, but just renting a room before). My monthly bills have just nearly doubled, it's slow season for work, it's tax time, and I...

    Leftover food from human event= Happy Day in tortoise land

    I loved the orange chick! My mom actually used to make cucumber sharks and airplanes so we'd want to eat our veggies, but the chick was new to me! Ávila doesn't seem to be eating a lot though...some food disappears but it seems more is left than not. She's only been here about a week...

    Leftover food from human event= Happy Day in tortoise land

    I'm doing a climb to the top of Rockefeller Center (one of those benefit things for the MS Society since my roommate has MS and I wanted to do it with her). Anyway they had their kickoff event a few days ago, and look what was there! And it was hardly touched! At the end they told everyone to...

    What do you collect?

    What do you collect, if anything? I love seeing people's collections! I used to collect frogs as a child (rubber, glass, stuffed, pewter, volcanic ash, ceramic, seashell, basically if it was a frog I wanted it). Now I collect SPORKS! I've been collecting them for a couple years, and love...

    Some new pics of my Leopard, Princess Leia

    Beautiful! I love her annoyed face! And her shell is so intricate. She certainly gives Carrie Fisher a run for her money! ;) I actually had a leopard gecko named Leia when I was younger. :):):)

    My New Girl

    OH. My. God. She's amazingly gorgeous! I only wish I had the space for one of those. Probably not the greatest Manhattan apartment pet, considering how a small apartment somewhere else is considered a mansion here lol. Have you chosen a name or are you waiting to see her personality?

    Ávila Exploring hehe

    Yeah she decided against the budget motel...guess she prefers 5 star hotels. In the top pic nothing is on her shell, and in between I misted her, so just some water/mist.

    Ávila Exploring hehe

    "I've seen cheap motels, but this is ridiculous." "Yeah, no thanks. Probably has bedbugs anyway...mmmm bedbugs, yummy, maybe it's time for some protein and blood."

    Oh dmmj- Yes I will do a tortoise one. Have to unpack my paints (just moved these past few weeks) but I'll get on that! And thank you...yes that is one of my favorite things about this...it's so different from other art because you are literally transforming the human body. Some of the stuff...

    Awesome! I see there are a decent number in Manhattan. Anyone like coffee? Haha, I see the map shows 2 members living in Central Park haha. Are you sure that they are actually human and not turtles from the pond in the park?

    Face and Body Art!

    Haha you guys are funny! Katie, I was actually the opposite when it came to people seeing the pics and video. More afraid of what my friends would think than people I didn't know. But even my Grandma approved lol. My friends, when they saw the first set of pics (the tribal ones) were like, "Wait...

    Face and Body Art!

    Marty, you could totally be a face painting model, and some designs that are partial body (Like a design on the back or the arms or something). But yeah, 18+ for full body or anything that requires any level of nudity. The face stuff is fun to play around with though...like when I painted...

    Face and Body Art!

    Thank you very much! I really do love it. ChiKat, your friend must have had such a great time! What was she painted as? All three times i was body painted, it was by friends actually. The alien was done by one of my best friends growing up, the one who got me into face painting in the first...
