    Redfoot tortoise cl ocala, fl

    Angi...you are right that tortoise species should not be mixed. However, it won't hurt to have them in the same room unless they have the snots or something that might become airborne if they sneezed. Patsy

    Rebuild, Resize, BETTER. :D

    Hi...congratulations on being able to rebuild. Since box turtles don't swim so much as they soak, I use paint roller pans in each of their corrals. They get the water dirty nearly every day. I would hate to have to clean out a pond as often as I have to clean their pans! What are you making the...

    My turtle wont eat!!! Please help!!

    Hi...what is her poop like? Soft or hard, color, really smelly? Do you have a veterinarian nearby that you can take a poop sample to so s/he can check for parasites, bacteria, coccidia, etc. Make sure the vet knows about tortoises because the dose for medications for tortoises is different than...

    a few questions???

    Myssie...You will leave the MVB on about 12 - 14 hours daily unless she is outside. If you need more heat in your enclosure, use a ceramic heat emitter...it gives off no light, only heat. At night if the temp is below 65, use an emitter. You will need a deep clamp lamp for your MVB. Please don't...

    if one tort has a overload of parasites, do you test the others?

    Hi...I agree... If the fecal is positive, then deworm everyone. I put it on their favorite food and they usually eat it with no problem. My vet has me give a dose once a week for 4 weeks then retest. If it is really bad, then we do three days in a row, then once a weekl The test is...

    Well crap...

    Hi...So sorry about your baby. What are you using for UVB? If it is a coil or compact, or a Repti Glo fluorescent, that is probably the problem. Good luck Patsy

    Can someone tell me what you think of this leo?

    Hi...Make sure you quarantine your new baby...no matter who you get it from. After it is settled in, I always do a fecal to make sure a new one doesn't have parasites, coccidia or bacteria, etc. Good luck Patsy

    Gets her head stuck

    Hi...I think you really need to take her to a tortoise vet. Sounds like she needs some grinding done. I had a Map Turtle that had the same problems that you are describing. The vet had to gind down his jaw a little at a time. He didn't feel anything cause he was put to sleep before being worked...

    Electricity Bill

    Hi...If I understand right...you are leaving a basking light dimmed at night for the Redfoot...they need it dark at night. And they, nor the uromastyx, don't need the temps any higher than 65 at night. I don't know anything about snakes' needs. Patsy

    Electricity Bill

    Hi...If your ambient temp at night is over 65, you don't need any heat lights. They need a cool down at night. For the daytime, put something close to the heat lights for the lizards to climb up to if they want more heat & use the least wattage to get the needed temp. good luck Patsy

    Box Turtle Upset

    Thanks all I think it bothers me so much cause I have been doctoring her for over a year. She just started eating well a couple months ago. She had been chewed by a big dog and brought to our animal hospital. She was really pretty and always came to me when she saw me coming. Patsy

    Box Turtle Upset

    Hi...My 5 three toed box turtles have lived together for over a year with no problems. Yesterday, one of the 2 males started bullying a female. I assumed he was trying to breed her. He kept rolling her over & over. I moved him away from her and set her on her feet. He started following one of...

    Weed rustler....

    Hi...A couple years ago I asked my sister in VT to collect & send me some dandelion seeds. She filled a 5 x 7 envelope with the dandelion blossoms after they turned white & went to seed. She begged me not to tell any of my neighbors that she was the one who sent them to me! I put them in the...
