Well it unfortunatley is time for me to part ways with my beloved Bubbaloo. My job currently takes up to much time for me to give to his attention plus I am relocating and have no more room for him. He is 6 years old 11' SCL and comes with everything needed. I hate to give him up but I WILL NOT...
SO Here is my brand spanking new 270 gallon pond i got at Menards today for $138 bucks out the door. Its about 6 1/2 ft by 4 1/2 ft at certain areas the Bubbaloo can walk in but no 90 degree angles at all ! The overall dimensions are 91"x 78"x 18" PITA to get home and into the basement !
My...
I was just wondering cause Bubbaloos skin on his head looks like a copper brown instead of the usual dark brown. Also how is something like this treated ?
Well after moving back into my parents house with my fiancee (stupid economy) i had the chance to make Bubbaloo a bigger pen. Since my leopards were adopted out last week and my parents have a big basement i made sure my remaining tortoise (Burmese Brown Mountain ) was gonna get spoiled.
So...
Im still confused on this i know they need protien so often but should i still give bubbaloo calcium with or without D3 or at all (he has no uvb lights)? i know if he doesnt get the sunlight he shouldnt have the D3 ? Help me please ?
I have to give up my 2 leopards and hate to do so. I lost my job and have to move back home where there is only room for my burmese mountain tortoise. So i will be giving up my 2 leopard tortoises one is 2 yrs old 7.5 inches and the other 1.5 yrs old 5.25 inches. They come with everything...

I will be getting a brown mountain tortoise towards the end of the month or mid april. He will be about 9" and i can wait. So any experts for a lil extra info i will greatly appreciate it. Ive done some reading but i wana know what works for you.

SO tessa is sick with either a uri or pneumonia . She was prescribed
.15 ccs of fortaz every three days for 7 injections. Does this sound right for a 2.5 yr old 1.5 pounds tortoise. Just worried since this is a new vet since i wasnt very pleased with my old one. They wanted to do a...

My leopard nibbler sometimes what appears to be sleep in his eyes in thie morning. Its only in the morning after he wakes up likes his eyes are watery. Not dripping with water or anything and my other one (the new found out female) Tessa i dont really notice it on her but she hides alot.

I was wondering if some members would share pics of there full grown leopards and with something next to them to compare size. Im trying to get an idea how big mine will be. I have paradilis babcocki and i know up to 18 inches but i would like to see i guess from peoples personal torts.
Lucky was soaking the other day and he does this when hes done and wants out. So i took some pics of this cause it cracks me up everytime and i wanted to share this with everyone. He also may be getting a home much sooner than expected too so stay tuned for that update !
I am a proud new owner of another Leo. I got this 2.5 yr old from a poster on craigslist that a good friend of mine refered me too. He is about 7 inches long and barely any pyramiding. In perfect health as well. He was feed home grown desert tortoise seed blend plants. Surprisingly he wasnt shy...
Well i finally took some pictures of my set up for you guys. At the top is my leopard tortoises new 60"x30" tortoise table that i made for him. Its lined wiht heavy duty garbage bags for easy clean up and will protect the wood from water. You can see it resides over an old desk with my russian...
I noticed today my 1 1/2 yr old leo has a pink line dowm the center of his under shell. Is this normal ? Just down the center almost like a growth lin or something. The rest of his plastron is fine though.
