I've had all my tortoises for some years now and this is the first year I'm having this same issue! A real beak growth spurt going on. the slate and stones haven't worked this time for some strange reason. I've read this thread and had a look at loads of videos, ive now have tried the clippers...

Hi ascott, the mealworms are pretty big but you're pretty spot on with the beetles- I've found three possibilities, but I'm sure now they are drugstore beetles, I read that they come in on dry food and grains. Well the torts share a room with my skinny pigs so perhaps they came in on their food...

Thank you for the replies! Yvonne I've never fed meal worms, I think they have come in on either the soil or possibly the food, (not the weeds and grass etc the dry food). So far the actual worms are only in with flo my sulcata, not my horsefields. I've changed the coco soil, cleaned, hoovered...

Hi all, I've been a member for years but haven't posted anything in a long time, this seems to be the only place I can post anything at all. I suddenly have a beetle and mealworm problem in my enclosures... I'll wait and see if I'm good to post this here before I go any further

Hey :) I've lost count I'm afraid, at a guess I'd say around 25 separate pieces some of which merge into large pieces. The dangers of being a tattoo artist haha :)

Stick and poke?

Here's a more recent couple of me, the 6 yr old dreads are now gone! And on the right is me, after doing a session on my friend I let her have a little go on me haha [hr]

Thank you, i work hard to keep her smooth and happy. It's like watching something prehistoric grow, hard to describe it. Her front legs amaze me. The weight and feel of her, and the personality that grows along side. Fascinating journey!!

Hi all not been here in a while...Three months on.... Just thought I'd add a few more pics of the ever growing flo. :D that's an iPad cover just to gage size.... From this To this I've come to the conclusion that she's not a tortoise. She's a machine.... I've never known anything to...

Aquarium user here, zero issue. Fantastic results. Happy, healthy tortoise.

Thank you all, apologies for the duplicate photo but for some reason the only way I can post is to put a link to a pic first.... Tom I haven't as yet no, but I certainly will. She has full blown come out of her shell now. She has some serious stubborn side to her for sure, she will be a handful...

Flo is now about 7 inches and rather hefty.... This is the first time I've been able to post for ages. Just hasn't been letting me.... She still has the C on her butt but its a fair bit smaller in comparison now! She stands so tall, I love how leggy she is. We've had a terrible winter here...

Haha I know Tom :) c wise it may wear off I think over the years. She doesn't stop eating. She's not a tortoise, she's a machine haha. Florence the machine .

[/IMG] Been a while since I've been on or posted due to various things. Here is flo today :) when will that sharpie C go!!

Well it's been 4 months but today the fish went in, it all looks a bit lost! Wall and ceiling all painted, new house is coming together :) The "engine room" And the new tank, the mantis shrimp....

I put mine in a plastic mixing bowl, fill with cold water, submerge, then put it in the fridge, lasts around 6 days :) [hr] It may be longer, but the rate my two eat I don't see it for long ;)

He's a lovely boy :D

It's now that I realise when she's huge, I'll say "I can't believe she was that small once..."

WHen you look at something 20 times a day, every day... You don't really notice the changes taking place... But I got little flo on the 30th of June this year. I took this picture when I got her home and soaked her. This next one was taken yesterday in the garden.... My beautiful little flo :)
