Sulcata Tortoise

DiNew Apr 09, 2010 01:00 AM

Had him in the back yard with me today and lost him. He is only year old and cannot find him. He will be sleeping out there on his own for the first time. I had him in a 20 gal aquarium. He is the size of a full hand. I am worried about Rossi. I will be out working in the garden again tomorrow, I hope he surfaces.

GOOD DEAL! I know that feeling,I had a big one take a walk which got picked up about a half mile away. It was on a road,someone picked it up and gave it to someone else that saw my ad in the paper on its last day to post. They were nice honest folks who wanted to do the right thing. The lady of the older couple told me she liked it a lot and it would eat out of her hand. I invited them over to see my collection and presented her with a baby one keep. Everything was hunky dory til a big (5 ') eastern diamondback showed up in a tortoise enclosure I was showing them. I had to ask them to "keep an eye on it until I put the dog up." They kinda said yes but freeked when I came back with a snake stick and trash can instead of a shotgun! Spooky day. Vic.........pic caption....he's nuts
