I'm building a new enclosure for my horsfieldii, and I was wondering what kinds of plants I should put in there? I already plan on planting grasses, but other than that I'm not sure.
It will be a 3x3 enclosure with about 1.5 feet of height above the substrate layer, although that can be...
Okay. I'll keep them up for the winter.
I'll have 4 4x4 or 2 8x4 enclosures so I can separate the males and and keep the females together or keep them in smaller groups. During the warm months, they'll be in a large outdoor enclosure, and I'll keep an eye on the males and be ready to pull one...
My girlfriend is slightly part of the plan, and I mentioned that she would help, but that is very much a toss up. As much as I want to involve her, she is less capable of thinking it all out. For her, it's I want to own some turtles, for me, it's a lot more than that. She really loves animals...
Alright for some reason I wasn't getting notifications so this got a lot of answers whilst I was gone.
First off, I'm getting a group of horsfieldii because I think it's a good species to start with. They'll be housed indoors in an 8x4 with some separate enclosures ready, and they'll live...
I am quite sure that I'm buying an adult Russian group (2.3), and I want to add the Russian I've had for awhile into this group, and I realize that hibernation is important for breeding, but I have a few concerns.
1. Not sure if she's wild caught. So I don't know if breeding her is even worth...
In response to Yvonne cause I don't know how to use the mobile version
Those are awesome. Thank you for the response. I like the design. I think that the singular insulated enclosures would actually be a lot less expensive to build than one central shed for all of them, and I plan on moving to...
Hello everyone, I'm 16 and a senior in high school and I'm trying to start up a small turtle and tortoise breeding project throughout school which will hopefully eventually turn into something of a "side business".
Before I go on, I'm going to school locally, so I'll be home, after college...
Oh and another thing that I should mention is that I have a tortoise, I'm not just going to buy a bunch. I've cared for a Horsfieldii rescue for awhile, and I realize that it's an easy species to care for, I just thought I should mention that.
Oh well the breeding part isn't really the main interest, and I would definitely not get them all at once or even within the same year probably, I just want the animals and there's very little space in my room. My first thought was to start off with a Testudo species, and then possibly a Kinyxis...
Hello everyone, I'm 16 and I'm planning on getting some more tortoises. My room is quite small, so I have to improvise.
I plan on keeping and breeding both humid species indoors all year, and arid species with a indoor/outdoor schedule.
I live in Upstate NY, we are dry, cold, and not very...
