Hello everyone! Haven’t posted in here in quite a while but I’m in need of some advice!
My older red foot tortoise (approximately 15) started nesting today. I haven’t seen her nesting recently so it may just be a test spot. What I’m concerned about is she’s still in her outdoor pen nesting and...
Hi everyone. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and prayers. My mom passed away at 3AM yesterday. It has been a very difficult time and I am glad to know such wonderful supportive people. I do come on TFO every week and check out the threads so I am not completely gone but I have been very...
So it has been exactly one year since I got my lovely Nova when I first got her she was just under 6in and now she is just under 6.5in! She has also grown from 530g to 673g! I don't know if her growth is going at the right rate or not but she seems to be thriving. There is only one negative I...
Haha I've been mostly lurking but I finally decided to stop being lazy and put some pictures up :P she is getting so big! And the name Nova means chasing butterflies and she has to scutes on her back that for a butterfly so I thought it was fitting :)
Hi Everyone! I havent been here on awhile do to starting school up again but her are some recent pictures of my Nova :)
She loves making fun of me :P
She loves her rubs :D
Also I will be putting a video up at some point haha
She had those split scutes since I got her this January I have been trying vaseline but I haven't seen a change yet :/ and that is 1/4 of her soon to be full enclosure :P
Until I complete Nova's full outdoor enclosure I through together a simple one because I had a feeling she was getting all depressed in her cage because she didn't spend as much time as she would like outside. I will still bring her in at night because it doesn't have a top but for the day time...
So today I took on the task of cleaning up Nova's filthy cage. It was starting to smell horrible and the smell intensified the more I got into it.
Nova trying to escape (:
Uh oh!
She's a big girl (:
Eying the weak spot once again!
At it again (:
Final Product...
So for about a month now I have been thinking of the possibility of getting another tortoise. More recently I have been thinking of getting a hatchling because I want to watch it grow. I was thinking of a redfoot of course but I have also been pondering the possibility to maybe get a leopard...
So I woke up this morning and found a huge mess in Nova's cage as usual. I have to refresh her water dish about 5 times a day because she loves to get it all dirty! For a second I couldn't find Nova but eventually I did ;)
Did you find her...
