Here's a place to rant about people making up stuff about owning a tortoise.

Oh yeah no. We're staying in Az for AWHILE!
I'll be posting pics of our garden habitat as we progress so I can get feedback. I only have a cpl pics of the torts from the foster mom but will be getting more soon. Once we get them home in the spring I'll be taking tons. The 2 yr old me is beyond excited! Everyone else thinks I'm nuts.?

Welcome, I am so jealous, Sonoran desert tortoises, or actually any in the Gopherus species are just sweet tortoises. Shouldn't take them to the PNW. I want a Texas tort, but can't. Please post pictures as we (I) love them

They are sweet indeed! Here's Tango. Southern Arizona.

I operated a small special needs turtle and tortoise rescue. I have 2 tortoises, 17 box turtles, 1 water turtle, 15 birds and 2 cats...

That's awesome! I would love to do something like that again but my days of rescuing/fostering special needs is a mere squeak now. Traveling back to Ohio makes it difficult.

My sister was big into rescue, but I was small into it. I kept some of the worst, simply because. So most of my animals have something, blind, 3 legged, afraid of water etc. But I'm old and I only take something if it's dropped on my porch now a days. Here's Mary Knobbins, she used to be Knobby, and she was a male. But when I wasn't looking he (Knobby) had a sex change operation and became Mary Knobbins. She was found wandering in downtown Portland Oregon about 3 years ago or so. Personally, I am thinkin one needs loose screws to do rescue work in any animal species, it mostly breaks your heart, and to see what some people can do to animals is very upsetting.
Mary was very badly pyramided. She's lookin better...
Here is Mary Knobbins
