Ooh. That's a good one. Nice find.
SCORE! That is a super lovely cactus, great size! Yay for you and your tortoise! : )
That's a lot of food for only $13.

Are you going to grow it and just clip Pieces of it off or just butcher it a couple leaves a day?
I only paid $6.50 for it. I'm going to plant it and let it get big. I love having food for my babies right in my yard. Plus since I just bought it, they will not get to eat it for awhile. I don't want to feed them any harmful chemicals. So I'll plant it and by the time they can get it it will hopeful be bigger. [/font]
Lucky you! Luckier tortoises!!
Jealous!!! I don't think the Wal-marts in MN carry cactus 
Lucky! My local Walmart had some opuntia but all of it was infested with spiders.
Re: RE: Cactus
Not in CT, either!
But I bought some pads online. From two different dealers. I suck them in dirt in a pot to keep fresh. They were obviously two different species (or sub species). One shiny and the other with a kind of mat finish. Well the shiny one imediately produced new pads. I used up most of the mat ones and the new pads are ready to harvest. I left one pad of the velvety type, but it still has not produced anything. It is rooted though.
I now keep the pot in my garden window which has a southern exposure.
