[bettagurl]

What kind of tortie is this?

 

[bettagurl]

I'm thinking sulcata..But I don't know a whole lot about torts.

Looks like a sulcata.

He/she is at animal control.. so the fee is about $15.. Gah, if I didn't care I'd take him/her, but I don't have the proper room or time for another pet..

I sure hope he is receiving proper care. This is not an animal you can put in a box and offer a cabbage everyday.

Wonder if my mom would be willing to settle for a tort instead of a dog?

I sure hope he is receiving proper care. This is not an animal you can put in a box and offer a cabbage everyday.

I know, they need alot more than that.. peopel think they can put them in a tank and feed them veggies and no water.. I hate pet stores for giving that kidn of info out..

I'm sure he/she won't be there long... I just hope someoen who knows what they're doing adopts.

lol Death Pony.. they take about the same amount of time.. they need a STRONG fence, they need to come in in the colder months, a varied diet... and there are many, many plants that can make them sick that are found in most gardens..I could easily take care of one during the warm months, but winter is the problem, unless I build a shed that is heated, I have nowhere to put a tort..
