  • When Caitlin got a tortoise named Tiptoe, she had no idea how big he would become. He is 175 pounds and still growing. Caitlin loves spoiling Tiptoe with his personal backyard spa. He loves showing affection and lights up when he sees food. And Caitlin knows he’s going to be around for many more years to come.

    Definitely a lucky guy... BUT PLEASE... EVERYONE: Don't run out and get one of these magnificent creatures as a pet until you really-really-really-really think about it. This young lady & her supportive family are exceptional and obviously have a great set up for TipToe, but only because they have made the a huge commitment.

      Tortoises can be a lifelong commitment. If you'r thinking about getting one keep that in mind. Also make sure you have access to a veterinarian who understands tortoises. Also, do your research! Make sure you understand habitat and dietary needs.

      Aren't reptile pets also capable of spreading salmonella? So, just another thing to remember if considering getting a tortoise--even a small one! You'll be washing your hands a lot!

    • @jimvandemoter6961
      @jimvandemoter6961 Před 2 měsíci +4

      @@mcmewsen Retiles digest their food with bacteria, not acids like warm blooded animals. That's why there's bacteria, salmonella being part. Land animals like tortoises aren't as bad as aquatic or semi aquatic turtles. That just means you need to wash your hands after you handle them. Actually, you should wash your hands after handling any animal.

      ​@@AR-yv3djGoogle Turtoise. There are several entries with that spelling, just as there's several for the spelling Tortoise. Same critters, but with minor spelling differences. And sometimes the exact same type of animal can have many different names, one of the best examples of this is the animal that is called the Cougar in my part of Canada. Other names for these beautiful creatures are Mountain Lion, Panther, Puma, Ghost Cat, and about 35 more names throughout the world. And with words in general, even within the English language itself, spellings can and do vary. For example in Canada we spell this word behaviOUr, and Americans spell it behavior, we spell it centRE, and Americans spell it centER. Canadians usually spell words with an "OU", whereas American English uses only the "O". Some examples are, humour, colour, favourite, armour etc. Just within the English language itself spellings can and do change, people from different state or provinces can end up calling the exact type of cookies multitude of different things. Where I'm from (My hometown is the Capital city of British Columbia, Canada) we use the term Apartment Building, where I live now, on the Great Canadian Prairies, in Manitoba's capital city the term used is Apartment Block. Language must flow, and it must change and invite new words and spellings into the mix. Without change, language dies.

    I have a Texas Tortoise myself. He came into our garage. We had no idea how he got in there. We thought he was a Desert Tortoise. But a conservator told me what he was. 4 years later, we found out he was our neighbors and they weren’t sure where he went. So we’ve had him for almost 8 years now. He’s about 33 years old. They aren’t supposed to be pets. But they can never be released once they become dependent upon us for food. Now we have to leave him in our will just like she does. I hope he lives a good long life with her. She definitely loves him.
