Thank you very much for your input this is very interesting indeed I would like to know what is the male to female ratio is and how many breeding adult tortoises do you have in your colony to produce X amount of eggs.

Hi everyone I would like some input on selective breeding of high yellow radiates in my colony. I have been keeping radiates for 6 years now and this is my collection so far: 1 high yellow Male 12 inches(not breeding yet, hes 6 and a half years old), 3 semi high yellow unsexed, 6 above average...

Hi Bill, I hope you are well, it has been a while since I am active on this forum. My female just produced her 1st batch of eggs. So I was wondering how your high-yellow selective breeding experiment went?

Thanks for the reply Zovick! Much Appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town for a couple of days. He is around 9.5 - 10 inches in length.

Yes it the straight carapace length, have your high yellow breeding group made any progress yet?

Hi There Bill Zovickian, I was wondering if you have any updates regarding your high yellow breeding project. My prize male recently reached 24 cm plastron length and 30 cm shell length, Will he be able to mate soon?

I will explain the history of his symptoms. 2 months ago he was very sick with a runny nose, legs neck and legs always fully extended and half closed eyes with white puss like substance , his weight went from 210 grams to 155 grams. I took him to the vet who looked after him for 5 days. The vet...

Alright I will incorporate some papaya to see if he eats them, I had to force feed him the medicine along with reptile caloric supplement gel today through a syringe because he doesnt touch any food... he is still very active and has bright eyes, he just doesn't eat. The medicine is in powdered...

Thank you for this, this really helped. I understand that this animal is worth a lot etc. but I dont really trust this Vet in Vietnam since he cannot even name me the medicine he is prescribing him. I just came back from Hong Kong and a visited a tortoise specialist Vet who prescribed me a...

Sorry for the confusion, the 1st time i took him to the vet was 2 months ago for stool examination. then the vet told me to come for a follow up and he will show me the stool results. I was one a business trip therefore the follow u was a bit late ( 2 weeks) then i took him to the vet again and...

The Vets here refuse to tell me the name of the drug, therefore there is no way I can find it. The only way to treat Goku is to bring him to the Vet and the Vet will treat him directly and charge a lot. I didnt bring him to the Vet yet because Goku has been doing much better these 4 days, he has...

I put Goku in a box with a bit of water and sun bathe him for 1 hour, after wards he has a very good apatite! Its very strange he lives in an out door enclosure and has plenty of sun bathing spot but Goku always chooses to hide in the bushes....... Is it possible he is too stupid to sun bathe on...

The Vet im seeing is the only reptile expert in the city so he monopolies this niche market and he doesn't tell me the name of drug he is using :(. He mentioned several parasites found in Goku's stool, i forgot the name however when I raised the question about Fenbendazole he said in theory in...

The vet just checked his stool, there are still several different parasites in him.I Hasnt eaten in 4 days now.... was advised by a friend to give him Fenbendazole to de-worm him. Sadly they dont sell this in my country :(. but can you guys give me some reviews for this product or do u recommend...

I want to share with your 3 pictures of Goku. Today I fed him some pumpkin (again because he does not eat anything I feed him, he would nibble on some hibiscus flowers and leaves but only 1-2 bites, his main diet now is only pumpkin. he refused romaine lettuce, grass, carrots and other leafy...

It's been nearly 2 months now, he doesn't seem sick or anything but he just seems very picky with his food. he has clear eyes and does defecate every 2 days or so. I really hope its not a blockage becuase a tortoise his size will not survive surgery. (the vet haven't given him an x-ray)

Just want to ask if there is infact an internal blockade (perhaps he ate something he shouldn't have) what should I do?

(Here is 'Goku' eating some pumpkin/strawberry and powdered V. D3+calcium. He doesnt seem to eat his greens yet, pumpkin seems to be his favorite) The little guy is still alive, I took him to the vet which he stayed for 10 days ( very pricey), he has a few parasites from checking his feces. he...

Thanks, i will make sure he is hydrated. I will check for a vet with an xray.
