    Need help indentifying a tort that I may be rescuing

    Thank you!!! I have no intentions of putting any other species or even other leopards with my dear little Leo. :) all plans are for this one to have his own enclosure if I end up caring for him. You are so wonderfully knowledgeable, I appreciate it

    Need help indentifying a tort that I may be rescuing

    I've been doing a lot of reading while at work today, because WOOHOO desk jobs! I'm growing more fond of the idea of keeping him home with me. I feel like it will be a learning experience, and I do actually have what it takes. The only thing that is still confusing me about this species, is...

    Need help indentifying a tort that I may be rescuing

    Okay everyone, I am glad to know what this little one is. Are box turtles kept in a tank only, or are they more adapt to land and water? I know that my sister already has one box turtle, and I am hoping she is willing to care for this one as well. I don't think I have what it takes to care for...

    Need help indentifying a tort that I may be rescuing

    In the past, I tried to help a friend's little sister in caring for her tortoise. Apparently she isn't taking care of the poor thing well enough, and doesn't even want it anymore (can I just take a moment to say, UGH WTF??? - why even bother???). I want to learn about this species of tortoise...

    Need opinions on my next enclosure

    So right now I have my 7 month (or so) leopard tortoise in one of those 20 gallon concrete mixing tubs. I'll attach a picture below. He seems perfectly content in here, but what I am worried about is the humidity. I know leopards must grow in humid environments, and soon Wisconsin will not have...

    Tortoise attacked by animal, he's okay, but input needed

    I just want to add that your meatball looks like a sulcata, not a leopard! But I am glad he is on his way to recovery, very cute

    Tortoise causes fire

    So sad. I live 10 mins from there, haven't heard anything on the news anywhere. Not important to them enough I suppose, poor thing.

    Moby's weekly growth

    You are right! I just like to take pictures of my baby and it gives me another excuse to :p I also hope to take these pictures one day and make a video of his growth. Stop motion almost like. You know how people do pictures of their babies up to adults? Now I'm seeing that once a week...

    I finally got my own Leopard baby

    Can you tell me what you have in that water dish for them? I must find something my baby leopard likes, for him to enjoy water by his own choice more. Also, what are your torts names? :)
