My indoor cat has fleas. I’m trying to work out where they are coming from. I bring the tortoise in sometimes. Can they carry them in?

I still can not believe so much they poop. My tortoise likes to do it on the patio (concrete) right outside the breakfast window. You can not just unsee it! I go out with a push broom and hose the area down. It looks clean, but it must not be because it will still attract flies. Sometimes a...

Don’t know why that pic didn’t load.....here is the spot I’m concerned about .

Thanks Tom. I keep looking for Mulberry trees but have never seen one (that I know of). FYI, when I first got Pancake you commented on my post about the importance of humidity. He’s had 3 appointments with Dr Greek and they always comment on how good he looks (just a bit on the fat side). I told...

Haven’t posted in a while and wanted to share my buddy Pancake. This guy is easily 3x larger now that he has a huge yard and two large hibiscus plants that bloom year round. Having a small issues...About 9 months ago, I moved in with my 95 year old Grandma who is starting to suffer from...

A tortoise has to eat..... Really trying to work out the physics of that though...

I have a wrought iron staircase going from my deck outside. My 11 inch sulcata wedged himself behind it. Don’t know how he managed, but had to break out the tub of Crisco and lub him all up to get him out it.

It would be so much easier if mine did that. She is a stealth pee-Er.

it has taken me a year to catch this on video...... does anyone else have a tortoise that makes this noise? She seems to only do it when she is stretched out and relaxing under her lights (happy noise?). It is LOUD for such a little thing. I blamed the cat for the longest time.

I almost went with that! This is what I ended up doing. Not pretty, but functional. Them lights aren’t moving! (My humidity sucked that day!)

Awesome. Thank you!

I had a scary experience the other night....my sulcata went on a rampage and knocked over both the uvb and heat lights in her basking area. I was sure everything was totally secure, but I hadn’t taken a stubborn tortoise bent on destruction into account. I bought a generic brand of gorilla tape...

Thanks. I bookmarked it. I was really worried about her size for the longest time. It took her forever to start growing. Now when I wake up in the morning I swear she looks noticeably bigger then the night before. Always been super healthy active and curious (can get really grumpy though) so I...

She is about 7 inches long and 5 inches across. I was letting her out for a couple of hours during the summer a few times a week. There are huge hawks here. I’ve seen so many big, adult bunny slaughters that it makes me nervous at her size. Here is a pic of her on a regular size paper plate so...

Aarrgh! Stupid autocorrect! It was supposed to be CHE bulb. I can’t see where to edit either...
