sunshine!

[nat]

It was so nice out today that I was able to put the torts outside for a couple hours in the greenhouse (which is saying a lot for the weather when you live in B.C. and its only March 4th) Hope everyone else is enjoying the sun as much as we are!

What are the temps like right now? I'm having an animal shipped cross-country, and it can't bee too cold, or she'll die.

wow they are awesome.Iv always wanted a tortie. Wish it was nice out here.. Its cold and rainy..

its about 14'c outside where I am in BC and in the green house its probably around the mid 20's. Not sure what the temps are like anywhere else but a site like the weathernetwork.com could give you a good idea of what the temps are like across the country

Nice Sulcatas. Tortoises I can talk about without difficulty! It was cold and rainy here.. My babies didn't get to go outside.

yah its usually cold and rainy here so I really wanted to take advantage of the sunshine. Now I just have to hurry up and get the redfoot pen done!

I wish i had that weather, im supposed to get hit with 20-30 cm of snow 2night. But those really are great tortoises. One question though, the tort in the second pic, is his eye swollen, or am i seeing the wrong side of him.

 

[bored_gurl9023]

His eye does look weird. The angle possibly?

Nice pics. I've been taking my animals out a lot since it's gotten warm here. Not surprising though, I live in San Diego, haha.

I caught mona in a blink. I saw that to and thought it might look a little strange. They were so busy wolfing down grass they were constantly blinking and gulping. The same tortoise is in the third picture and as you can see, her eyes are nice and clear.

Nice lookin tortoises! I have a Desert tortoise that somebody dropped off. It has pyramiding but Im hoping it will correct later on in life. It's sad because people get their information on the care from our local Game and Fish and they always give wrong information on the care. They dont even want people breeding them for some dumb reason. He/she is still deep in her burrow the rabbits dug lol.

I would love to live somewhere where I could keep them outside all season! I also think its sooo cool to live in an area where torts are native. Good job looking after him... they need all the help they can get.
