Yeah it's Gordon aka Turnip. He is a private breeder. He is happy to talk on the phone and subject to distance will meet you half way. I come down from newcastle and he normally meets me around Derby / Burton on Trent area.

Anyone know what this is and if it's edible for torts? ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1421052906.571469.jpg

Loads near me but don't want to pick it if it's not obviously

Hi, pleased to meet you. I have a Leopard called Lola near Newport in South Wales UK and new to tort keeping, but this forum is invaluable and I learn something new every time I log in. You will soon wonder how you would manage without it!

I am already wondering how I would manage without these boards. I've learnt so much already!

Ahh can't work out how to start a new topic lol. My little guy Herbert had to be worked the other day, and he was passing worms but not huge amounts. I bathed him today and noticed ALOT more... Is this normal.. Or will he need to go back to the vets???

Hello, I'm a newby on here....how exciting to find you all!
I live on a farm in Anglesey, North Wales. I have two Hermans tortoises, they are both 15
Years old and have just come out of hibernation two weeks ago after being in their fridge
( first time). Currently indoors, they move out into their greenhouse and flower bed as soon as it's warmer!
Will try and work out how to post a photo!

I sort of count for this thread as I'm from Somerset, but Tidgy is 100% Moroccan, born and bred and I can never return to the UK and leave her behind. So, I am forced to live in this beautiful, hot, dry, cheap country where my baby eats her natural diet and has all the sunlight she needs, (usually- we had a really bad winter this year, nearly 2 months of rain and temps dropping to 5 centigrade at night on occasion and 15 in the day. Awful. Never mind) Eight months of summer now before autumn arrives. Oh, I so miss England. Don't think Tidgy would like it too much though.

Interesting choice of country to move to-any particular reason/need? It's meant to be a lovely country, although I haven't personally been. Do you live in a city or rurally there?

England is cold, wet, expensive, overly bureaucratic, politically correct and I've been there, done it and bought the t-shirt. I loved it.
Morocco is hot, dry, cheap, corrupt, shockingly not politically correct and new, vibrant and exciting, even after 10 years. I love it.
Miss the Marmite, but not much else.
