: I thought it was kind of interesting.

I agree, but considering the amount of years I've
spent in the husbandry of turtles and tortoise's I can
only agree with him in the sense that the tort in
question is not being provided with a heat source
at all. I have never let grocery greens sit and arrive
at room temperate before feeding it to a tortoise, and
I never would regardless of what anybody says because
in my opinion it's silly. If Eric wants to do that
with his tortoise's , I think he should because he's
a smart guy and knows what he's doing. I choose to
take other approaches with mine, including not loading
them with suppliments. So what I'm trying to say is good
or bad, as long as you have old healthy tortoise's
with no medical problems your doing something right,
and if you think that dressing like a chicken is the best
way to get them to stay disease free, who am I to say
it's right or wrong, but I am still free to say my
opinion. And is far as Dr. Boyer is concerned I sure
hope he got paid 50 cents for his 2.
