Hey guys,
Well here’s my 3rd post in one day lol.
Main reason I’m posting this is because after reading my previous post I saw that it does make me sound like an, well the softer word to describe me would be, jerk (sorry for the language) for asking people not to reply if they didn’t have anything new to add. I apologize if this is a repeated topic since while I have done some reading on the species I haven’t done much of it since I don’t plan on getting one until a few years from now but I though it would be a nice conversation topic and a way to meet some other tort people specially in CA.
One thing I really want is to eventually when I buy my own property, hopefully with in the next 2 years, is to have a CDT, I don’t care if an adult or a baby, an adult might be more appealing to me since I that way I could just tortoise proof the fence, create some burrows and there we have a mini dinosaur living lawn ornament as a new companion (I know its not that easy but hey that’s why I’m here to learn).
What are you guys’ opinion on them when it comes to human interaction, are they as brave/outgoing as a little Russian? Any “fun” things your companion(s) do? Do they like to be hand feed? Maxx (Russian) sometimes would follow my hand wanting me to give him more food even if his bowl has food in it. In your experience what’s the average adult size of yours/your friends? And I don’t know any fun facts you want to share about CDTs or other North American torts (gophers)? Process to be licensed to keep them? Where to legally get a tort?
Like I said this post is intended for me to get to know people while gathering facts I will put in use a few years from now and to have fun learning and hopefully looking at pics of your desert friends. Mostly looking forward to hear stories about them.
If repeated topic, admins feel free to remove or close if you believe no value would come out of this post, thank you
