Nice, good luck.

I tried taking some but my camera doesn't zoom that well, i'll try again in the morning. Their pretty small so it's hard to get a quality photo.

The Smithi is sold, still have the Rose Hairs, also have Chaco Golden Knee slings, those are available as well, $12 a piece.

I adopted these guys from a friend several years ago and I decided to let them go. I'm down sizing a little bit to create time for my tortoise projects. I've never shipped a T before and not sure it would be worth it for a common RH so i'd rather just find someone local unless you absolutley...

When I was younger I worked at a pet shop and the manager would always order these cuz they were "pretty" but they never came out of their burrows. Didn't bother me but customers always tried to convince you to get them out...yea right.

TFO for me.

I was checking on dates and it appears that they will no longer be held at the Live Oak Civic Center but now they are going to be at the Norris Conference Center...hmmm...i'm not complaining, it's closer to me but i'm a little surprised seeing as how they have been in Live Oak for the last 20...

My GF talks sh!t in front of all her friends and family but everytime I drag something home regardless of what it is she always has to go look and see what it is look at it. She's a biologist by trade so I guess it's just some inherent desire to learn and study about all the little creatures of...

No, that would be perfect imo.

Yea, i'm curious as to why you moved it the first two times as well. And while activity might be a sign of happiness in our eyes, in all seriousness, they are pretty sedate animals so what you're seeing now in terms of activity level is more typical.

Howdy!

We see freezes here in San Antonio and when my tort gets big enough to be outside i'm gonna be building something outside for him. I'm gonna be buying several (5 or so) of the SA leopard tortoises I told you about and a whole bunch of sulcatas too so i'll need a place to keep them all. I won't...

You only have to worry about housing them in the winter. You really oughtta look into South African Leopard tortoises. They are a little more expensive...300 or so but they get larger than a regular Leopard tort and are more cold tolerant (as adults) as well so it would work out well for you...

Where do you live?

I never anticipated keeping it, just learning about the indigenous T's to my area.
