I think it would be pretty handy to have a "Like" button. I dont know who i should send suggestions to. I think that it could be added to the bottom of the post with all the other buttons! I think it would be useful. Thanx for reading! -Vanessa

Im curious if putting mud on my guys will help them stay hydrated and help them with their pyramiding. Ive read that in the wild baby sullys stay underground until they are 8'' ish. so if being in the ground keeps them moist, then packing mud on them should be quite helpful! so... here's the...

I made a little mud bog for my little guys out of a kitty litter tray. they started kicking it all over, everywhere but on them selves ... so.. being a good tortoise mommy... i piled handfuls of mud on them! so much that i was having a hard time telling them apart. enjoy Tara in the grass...

I took a Few hours this afternoon to make a larger enclosure for my torti. (I've decided that the plural of tortoise is Torti. mainly because I'm too lazy to spell out the whole word!) Their previous enclosure was 6'X18', but my little guys paced the perimiter all the time, so i figured I'd use...

I have 2 Sulcatas and they are very friendly and outgoing. Im assuming that different species will have different personalities. Can you guys give me a little info on the disposition of other species?
