Hi, this is our Margie, Vincent! We have owned him a week today and he’s settling in so well. We bought him from our local pet shop who advised he is around 7/8 months. I refer to him as a he as that’s what my son named him after Vincent Kompany ?although I have no clue of the sex.

Have had my "tiny dinosaur" since August. I adore this little guy! These photos are posted elsewhere on this forum, but in a thread specific to him in the Redfoot section. Meet Trogdor the Burninator!

*wow he's so cute*

Still working on a name....My adult female desert tortoise follows us around and is constantly chowing down of my weeds. She has a radar for even the smallest dandelion.

These are my two babies Hugo and Bladee
This is when they have outside time in the garden. I have had them since I was a little girl, for 13 years and that's their age.
I hope I will grow old with them ?

DON'T BE CONCERNED WITH THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD. IF YOU ARE AN "OLD OWNER" WITH FUN PICTURES OR STORIES TO SHARE, PLEASE DO!

Hey new owners!

Yeah, you :) The ones with 100's of tortoise pictures on your phones and so many funny tortoise stories to tell!

As a brand new tortoise mom, I am experiencing that new-parent excitement where you want to talk about your baby All. The. Time. And I know I can't be the only one! So, I am starting this thread as a place to share the joys, the excitement, the wonders and the worries of being a new owner. And I want to hear all about yours, too!

Please feel free to post pictures of your torts, give updates on how they're doing, tell funny stories, talk about your current and future plans, and any other interesting tidbits you've picked up along the way!


Requests For Participation in this Thread:

DO NOT OFFER OR ASK FOR MEDICAL OR HEALTH ADVICE HERE.
This includes (but is not limited to): Health issues, hibernation/brumation questions, supplements, temperature/humidity/lighting recommendations, etc.

Note - If you would just like to talk about going through these issues, however, feel free!

BE RESPECTFUL AND KIND.

STAY ON TOPIC.

REFER ALL IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS TO ANOTHER THREAD.


Example:

ILuvSpaceTorts - "Hi everyone! I'm thinking of building my tortoise enclosure on the moon! Here's a picture of my Redfoot, Buzz, in his astronaut suit, eating freeze-dried ice cream."

Reply - "Hi SpaceTorts! If you would be willing to make a post in the Enclosures Section, I would love to share some tips and tricks with you about your enclosure!"


Easy done :)

Get it? Got it? Good!1AED7A7F-75DE-4CE5-9F63-35DBA7751DC1.jpeg

Hi,
I’ve had my Hermann’s tortoise, A’Tuin, since December. This is him sleeping under his heat lamp since it is quite chilly! He is adorable and a special part of our family ?1AED7A7F-75DE-4CE5-9F63-35DBA7751DC1.jpeg

Lmao! I thought I was the only crazy one having to delete photos in her phone to make room for new ones cuz I ran out of memory ? I can't believe I'm just seeing this post for the first time since it's original post 5 years ago?
