This looks heavenly. Those suckers cost $1 ea here in Oregon!

They love them, they are getting their lip stick on, so they can go visit the boys soon.

This is Herman we got him from a turtle rescue. He's about 15 years old & weights 30 lbs. Someone painted his shell & I don't know how to remove it? Any ideas...

I have always done what I can to avoid pyramiding , but I sometimes feel we make too big a deal of it . If your tort is eating , drinking and defecating and moving about in a healthy way it is likely going to be just a cosmetic issue . As long as you do what you say you have been reading about , it should be corrected .

Thank you speedy! We are 2 and a half weeks into bonding and she has started to eat the red trumpet flowers that grow along the fence next to my apt from my hand. She has become more active since putting in the rediculously priced zoomed powersun. After watching a Kamp Kenan video I started putting soaked sphagnum moss in her human hide as well as a big patch to lay in. She is not very shy unless I surprise her, and I'm learning to grow grass in a window (since she dug up the seeds I put in her pool) XD.

Torts have been known to eat sphagnum moss , so I have never taken a chance on using it . I also don't take a lot of stock in "kamp kenan" videos after watching one and seeing the disparity between what I have learned here and what he is doing !

Good catch ! I was wondering about that also !

Yesterday was "weigh in" day for Speedy ! If you cant read it , he was 6 Lbs and .05 Oz. He measured 9 3/4 inches .



As you can see he doesn't appreciate being forced to suffer such indignity !

Not to mention he has to stare at his food while this is going on.

I just want a bite.

For a second I just saw the Box and I thought "That isn't a sulcata." Haha.

I don't like 100 degree heat in mid September but Squints doesn't seem to mind it.
