I can only conclude most, not all, but most vets have limited knowledge of tortoises unless they are exotic specialists (and even then I know of one who is clueless!).

Having spoken many times to G on here, on the phone and in person, I can only conclude he knows much more than three vets I have had personal dealings with!
Of course he knows lots about lots of things, especially certain types of intimate clothing, and possibly much more besides! Plus knows sweet FA about lots of other stuff, but sexing a tort clearly isn’t something vets are sure about!

I also notice said vet, the OP, hasn’t bothered to comment back on this thread.
How rude!

Rant over.....




And my head has just gone pop.

And what's wrong with Google you really think in know what I'm blabbing on about
Ha!
Luckily you’re not the telephone operator dealing with me today when they said they couldn’t send out an engineer for my washing machine till Friday!
It’s have-a-rant Monday!!!

I google you all the time, G! It’s the images that pop up I can’t cope with!
