BE CAREFUL!! There are strict regulations on importing animals to hawaii. you need permits and a quarantine period, vet health cert. i recently got burned for $900 on a shipment of stars that got rejected going into hawaii, because the buyer did not file the proper paperwork. The tortoises...

first 2 are definetely edible , i feed these on a regular basis The rest i would not use, they look too similar to ivy

my redfoots wont even look at it

i think it has too much protein for a daily diet (15%), i use it 2 times a week for my redfoots, but otherwise it has everything they need

I have a sugestion, don't keep him in the damp cold basement. My brother went through trying to keep a reptile in a similar situation, and it took alot more effort, time, and money, to get the conditions right, than it was worth. it's very hard to keep a small basement warm, my brother had...

no way its a res , look at the scute pattern, and light shell ,and wheres his red ears?? i think it's a mud turtle

why not feed mazuri tortoise diet, which is essentially dog food formulated for tortoises. it's fairly cheap, and contains proper levels of protein. I only use it once a week I fear people only use dog and cat food because it is readily available

i actually have a 13" redfoot that i still cannot tell m or f it shows signs of both,, short stubby tail, but it has a very concave plastron i really havent pursued the more invasive way of knowing for sure

I dont think that the people selling the tortoises deserve the blame for the problems discuss on threads like these. I've sold alot of tortoises to alot of different kinds of people, and even if you inform them properly that doesnt mean they are going to listen to you. when your selling...

has he been deficating?, he may have an intestinal blockage, maybe you can try to lure him with a little banana, which may also clean him out.

My opinion is to cut out the dog food , i have never been a fan of dog or cat food. I use mealworms for my young ones to get their protein I beleive in slow steady growth, don't feed them as much as they will eat. If it makes you feel better, buy a cheap uvb light, but I have mixed thoughts on...

I would say E-Bay , I have saved thousands of dollars by purchasing things on e-bay, In fact last week i just bougth a $350 incubator for $150 brand new from a company who sells large volumes on there

that's why it's good to have smart college educated people here that makes sense I would like to know more about this, and i think alot of other people would too

In whitetail deer if they inbreed for enough generations, you get whats called a piebald which is marbled. I'm not saying you can't cross certain animals to get others that represent the two you crossed, but where did the original genetics come from. Albino genes is what they are starting to...

i wonder if it's caused by inbreeding, like in whitetail deer. they will start to marble and eventually down the line turn all white. I have witnessed these beutiful animals with my own eyes.

wow thats quit an impressive bio you have, what is Organismal Biology specialization ( i had to copy paste that lol) what career are you looking to get into.

it's really a shame because i always like meeting local people who are involved in the hobby enough to actually join a forum about it There is not that many of them around buffalo

The small area is for my 2 cherryheads . It may be a little small, but their old enclosure was actually smaller, and they were perfectly happy, breeding and everything. thank you for the can lid idea, i was thinking of rubbermaid covers but they're not as deep I have to build a better hide...

just for the record I do not breed sulcatas, only redfoots these are a friend of mines and he had too many

Listen, when i listed these tortoises i had no intentions on misleading anyone nor did i think i was. Everone i have sold tortoises to has known about their care and size requirements. Everyone i have delt with i have talked with extensively in person. I didnt't think i was going to offend...
