Stubborn bulldozers on cute legs. Isn't that part of their charm? I have become a slave to Stella and her needs, and she has yet to show me one ounce of appreciation! Gotta love 'em.
Sam is 8 years old and 50+ lbs. Want him???How big is Sam? how much does he weight?
So I have posted photos of the basically new pens I made for Big Sam and Mary Knobbins. My pens are not fancy like a lot I see here. Anyway, I gave Big Sam just a little more room with lots of graze, and after Sam saw what I did he started grazing on that lush side immediately. So I went into the front yard and pulled a few weeds and set up the sprinkler and then I went inside to my bedroom and looked out the window to check on Sam and son of a bit*h! He's broken into the box turtle pen and is trying to get into the other tort pen. Sometimes I wish I had Hermanni or Redfoots who don't freakin cause as much trouble as a Sulcata...Big Sam from my bedroom window

So he is just a little fella hahaSam is 8 years old and 50+ lbs. Want him???
ROAD TRIP!!!! But is there a vehicle that could contain him???
yep. He's not very big yet, and I think he's a bit small for his ageSo he is just a little fella haha
I have a large wooden box with a lid that locks, and it has held many a tortoise for the road trip to my sister's house... it's dark so whoever is in the box mostly sleeps. It fits perfectly in the back of my Camaro with the seats down. I only stop for fuel so whatever tort is in the box is really not uncomfortable for long. I usually make the trip in 9 or 10 hours. I always bring my cat on road trips also. My problem right now is the lack of gas money, it usually costs between $600 and $800. I can usually get the money...A utility van with a secure barrier behind the seats or a horse type trailer?.

Yes, I have a male who evidently had a sex change operation, and is now a female. I can't have a male like Sam knocking Mary on her back, or knocking her up, for that matter. Sam is a nice tortoise but his weight is a bit light and I just think he'd be better off in warmer weather and more grazeOh no thank you, Charlie is 3 years old and 31 pounds. 1 is enough for me! LOL Are you really wanting to give him away?

Well, I do not get the same gas mileage as a Prius. On a good day if I keep my foot out of it I can get abt 25 mpg hiway miles. In town it's 9 mpg. I am on my 3rd engine, a Corvette LT1. I have traded decent gas mileage for power. Each engine has been more powerful and that's what I like.Boy do you get LOUSY mileage! I'd think even a semi could do better.
It rained most of the night. It's raining right now, and no smoke!Maggie! It rained here in grants pass ? and I can see the sky and mountains still smoke but I will take it! How are you now View attachment 306597
