Awww, thank you so much...
I know I certainly have made friends here. And you can't beat the way Bob is loved/liked. I appreciate the forum as well. That's why I try so hard to be appreciated by all the members. I work hard and I am careful to not battle as much as is my nature.
and PULEAZE don't anybody give Stephanie my address, she is dying to help me out by doing anything/something for me. She wants to spend money hiring someone to wash my windows or ledges or vacuum, and while I so appreciate the thought I am fine! Just sick is all...

So...Annie's real name isn't Andrew H., is it? I am having trouble keeping up with all the double entendres.
And what makes you think I'm the only one on this forum who'd like to get you some help while your feet heal and your illness passes?

Annie is a real person who has a YAHOOgroups listserv for desert tortoise people. She is great friends with Andy Highfield who is also on that listserv.
Oh. So (to continue OT) Annie and company don't think humidity is a critical factor in pyramiding/Sucata health?

Maggie - I think I've seen you on some of the yahoo forums - were you a member of the gopherus group for a while?
At last count I have 40 tortoises and 15 turtles, but I'm always taking in rescues, nursing them back to health, and finding them homes. Plus, I hatch eggs - just for the fun of it - and give them away too - so there are always little ones around here. I live in So Cal so most of the year they are outside, and the majority of them hibernate when they're not. I have a really large yard and have built pens for them so the different species don't mix. My vet knows me well!
Just curious about how others feel ...
Ha ha! I thought that was you - I remember that dispute well! :0
Yes, I am afraid that dispute will be my legacy. But I stand on my beliefs, Sulcata do indeed need humidity!!! Right now in Dakar Senegal the ambient humidity is 88% That's Sulcata main territory 88% I will scream it to my death...Sulcata need humidity!!! I didn't argue with him very well and I had the English followers backing as well, so they were 'yelling' at me and he was arguing against me something awful. Made me look like a fool.
Just for the record, I think you handled yourself well.
My feelings were that others acted foolishly when you voiced an opinion that they didn't like. We're all here to learn and it's a shame when others can't even listen to a differing opinion. How are we supposed to grow if we don't challenge our beliefs?
You guys are wonderful to have more then one tortoise and be able to keep up with it. Dale is a handful. Always demanding my attention and food and water! I guess that's why I'm looking for another one.

Always demanding my attention and food and water! I guess that's why I'm looking for another one. Addictive I tell you, addictive, that's what they are. I think that a person has too many animals when they do not have the physical, emotional, or financial capability to care for each and every one of them. This has actually been a topic I have thought about a lot recently. My collection is small, and I intend to keep it that way for quite a while:
1.3.2 Russians (presumably 3.3, though I am giving one of the hatchlings away this week)
1.0 Red foot
1.0 bearded dragon (8-9 y/o with cancer, but he's a trooper)
1.0 Ball Python
0.1 Mali Uromastyx
1.0 White's tree frog
1.0 Albino African Clawed Frog
That's plenty for right now, though at some point in the future I would like to get girly friends for the red foot and the ball python

It's great that you are fostering. That's what I'd like to do but, there are so many Sulcatta's and others here in the Desert that people were selling around the Holidays.
How many is too many?
I've only got about 40. I'll let you know if I ever figure out how many is too many.

Hahaha...what this thread proves without a doubt, is that tortoises are addicting!
I'm lucky I don't have room in my apartment for more... Or I would be up to my knees in them perrrty creatures
How many is too many 8" adults in a 2 x 5 foot table?
