Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
Turtles & Tortoises Discussion ForumThis forum is for the purpose of discussing any topics concerning the turtles and tortoises of the world.
Okay, so my girlfriend has been BEGGING me for a tortoise for quite some time now, and I was thinking of getting her one for her birthday. A friend of mine's parents have a breeding pair of desert tortoises (and have all the licenses and permits as well) and he asked me if I wanted one. They are babies, he said the size of a gatorade bottle lid.
I have never had a tortoise before and was just wondering if anyone out there had any care tips for desert tortoises? I know they thrive out here in the desert but I don't think that sand, a hot bulb, and minimal water are the right tools I will need for the little fella.
Sand and dehydration are definitely NOT the right way to raise any baby tortoise, "desert" or otherwise, and I'm glad you thought to check!!
I don't have much DT knowledge, but there are plenty of experienced Desert tort keepers over at http://Tortoiseforum.org and I would highly recommend posting over there for advice. They'll be able to steer you in the right direction on anything tortoise-related.
Good luck with the new venture! Tortoises are definitely a joy to keep.
