Which BYC member scares you?

Tortoises!

I’m so jealous!

You have a tortoise?

3. 2 girls and a boy, all adopted.

I guess technically 6 right now, we had 3 hatchlings come up from a nest we missed a week ago. I"ll have to get them adopted out after Christmas. They can go at 8 weeks, but that'd put us right at holiday time and I won't let pets go out as impulse presents. Too many end up in shelters that way and I want our babies going to forever homes.

Fun fact. Sulcatas can lay up to 4 years after breeding. We keep our male penned up and we still have had hatches the last 2 years. Normally I dig them up and let the chickens and pigs have the eggs but if I don't catch the girls laying I don't know where to look.

I had no idea that they could store sperm for that long. That’s crazy.

Here's the lawn furniture rearranging team.

The girls: Smaller one (Chip)is 17, bigger one (Goofy) is 15

All 3. Mr Tortie is 13 to the best of our knowledge. he's the one in the foreground with the pyramiding. It's lot better now than it was when we adopted him. Previous family was trying their best but feeding him the wrong diet and not properly managing humidity.
