LOL!! WOW!!!
Thanks you guys for all your caring and support!
Dash is doing excellent!!! Eating like a monster and growing like a weed!
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post any new pics of him over the past few weeks. My fiance and I are moving to Sarasota, FL and life has been pretty...
Day: 14
My fiance, Mikka, got in on the action with this one. Clearly, she's the photographer in the family! :)
She was able to get an EXTREME close up of Dash taking a nap under his basking lamp.
Hey Laura,
Welcome to the forum! It's a great idea to ask first, buy later. I didn't know enough before I got my first tortoise, Tebow. Regretfully, he was delivered to me in poor shape and I didn't realize it. We tried everything we could but lost him after a month. If I would've done a...
Who knows, Greg...he might see how well you take care of your Aldabras, and might want in on some of that action!
Of course, if I was a desert tort...I'd be pretty friggin' impressed by a herd of giant Aldabras myself.
Hell, who am I kiddin?! I'm a human and I'm still impressed by Aldabras...
I really appreciate that D'Marcus. I'm trying hard to keep it as smooth and healthy as possible[hr]
Lol! That's good news, Tom! I'm having a blast with him and I honestly can't way for the day when I'm ready to take on more, different species of tortoises, and possibly start breeding them...
Man, it's amazing the difference a week can make! I agree with Tom...
It'd be AWESOME to see a day-by-day once CC starts going outside.
Excellent progress, Greg!
Day 13:
Monumental day, today! Dash ate out of my hand for the first time!! (He also grazed in the yard for the first time, too. Have some clover springing up and he dove into it!) My boy's growing up.
Dash has just taken a bite from the piece of spring mix in my hand. Look close and...
Lol...I think you guys might be right. Check out this pic I took this morning (almost forgot to post my pic for today!).
Day 12:
Dash is like, "Come on, man! I'm trying to eat!!" :)
Day 11:
No...this isn't the same picture as Day 8! :P
I just wanted to show you guys why Dash was digging the hole in the first place. This has been his sleeping spot of choice for the past few days. I move him to his humid hide before I turn the lights out, but he always winds up back...
Little guy's looking good, Jacob!
Oh...and my little niece wants her blanket back! ;)
Keep up the great work, man! You're doing an awesome job with him. Have you come up with a name yet?
