    Attitude

    For those who follow my posts, pics, replies to current topics, they will no longer continue. I have been banned from the site due to my poor attitude. The Zen Master who runs the TFO sees no value in my opinions regarding outdated information on the site and recommendations to improve advice...

    Geoclemys Hamiltonii

    likely can not get them from Behler unless you live in California. They are ESA listed ( don't get me started on ESA non native species to the US). Therefore you either have to have a CBW permit for hamiltonii or live in Calif. same goes for Fla. Lots of people have them down there but very few...

    LOOKING FOR WELL KNOW REPUTABLE SULCATA BREEDER

    Here again we have a poster who will not put his location. There are a lot of good breeders throughout the US. Ideally being closer could make a purchase in person instead of ship. So how bout posting your location?

    HELP HELP HELP (rat atttack)

    What is important is to offer suggestions based on where they live. I am not going to tell them to get this or that if it is not available based on where they live. If they do not put their location, recommendations are in the dark. I have been requesting that it be mandatory to post location...

    HELP HELP HELP (rat atttack)

    Looks like some toes missing right foreleg and trauma to the right rear plastron. Lesson learned, do not leave youngsters outside unattended unless they are in a rodent proof enclosure. Best option is to clean the wounds w/ Dakin's Solution (look it up) AND PUT YOUR LOCATION UNDER YOUR AVATAR...

    CBW-CITES Question

    The appeal is likely going to go nowhere. You are not allowed to appeal with any new information. It would trigger a new application and a new fee. You can only appeal the application and any reasons for the denial in that application.Unfortunately every denial is slightly different. It is...

    CBW-CITES Question

    I have seen the PRT listed, then the comment period comes, and the supervisor brings the hammer down and denies the application for arbitrary reasons. Sometimes it is out of the hands of the biologist. The supervisor is a real SOB. Stay on top of the application. That way they know you are...

    Trying to decide in Arizona

    Cherry heads would be a mistake in Ariz. Too dry and to hot. They will do poorly unless kept indoors all the time with a proper set up. leopards should do fine as long as shade is available.

    Spots and scabs

    Looks like the scabs are from rubbing against the plastron. Not unusual.

    Burmese star tortoise price

    Can not comment on other countries. Since these are CITES Appendix 1, can not ship outside the US. Maybe the market is better over there. Here there is a flood of Burmese available.

    HR 2603

    I would hope that everyone who keeps any ESA listed species, ( does not necessarily need to be a turtle or tortoise) knows what a hassle it is to obtain any due to the federal permit process. There are many on this site with desires for some of these ESA listed species, but do not want to go...

    A sad report and request for help...

    Sounds like you were very meticulous with everything. Chalk this up to **** happens beyond your control. Tyler is a reputable breeder. Could be their was an underlying defect that wasn't identified through no ones fault. You could ask Tyler if he would replace the tortoise. Worst thing is he...

    Giving injections

    When you get home, look up what meds you are supposed to give.Why is the vet prescribing an antiinflammatory? again, how bout letting us know why you took the tortoise to the vet? This is what I like to read so all questions are laid out in an orderly format: 1. My tortoise (what species) has...

    Giving injections

    The better word would have been curt not rude. You offered no information as to what medications you are asking advice on how to give. You did not say how often they should be given, Yvonne tried to offer advice, but did a poor job of explaining it to you (according to you) You still have not...

    Giving injections

    How bout you give a little more information. What medications you are giving, where did the vet say to give, where are you located. You asked for advice from Yvonne, she obviously gave some and then be critical of the information she shared with you. Why are you not contacting the vet that you...

    HR 2603

    All correct points. a waste of financial resources, plus USFWS has not spent barely any money on conservation of these listed animals outside the US.

    HR 2603

    If this bill would pass, it would expand the diversity of the Radiated Tortoise in the United States.Hobbyists, and Collectors could move animals across state lines w/o needing a permit. Groups of tortoises would be easily unrelated because there is a wide enough gene pool in the US to promote...
