Re: Turtles and tortoises - May 29th 2022, 02:32 PM

I'm glad it was helpful! Tortoises aren't bad in terms of maintenance as long as you feed them daily and soak them/do their other things accordingly.

One thing I thought to add - young tortoises (especially if they are a species with shorter legs) are prone to flipping. Once they flip, they cannot right themselves and they will die this way. To avoid this, it might help to get one that is a bit older and to keep bowls and other accessories in their enclosure lower to the ground.

I look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions once you're ready for a tortoise.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
