    Cuora bourreti

    Anyone know breeders/keepers of this species? DM is fine, trying to get more husbandry info and of course find unrelated genetics. The TSA has dozens of these guys, but no genetics ever get released or so I am told...

    Cuora galbinifrons, serrata, bouretti

    I keep quite a few Spengleri, and have decided to expand my collection to include another asian turtle. I have been trying to find galbinifrons for the past year with no luck. I have decided to expand my search to include serrata, and bouretti, but information is weak. Does anyone keep either...

    More PVC tanks

    4x2x18”. One of the biggest benefits I’ve found with focusing on small species is the ability to have enclosures that are not very high. Allows you to stack more, and more importantly, allows you to use smaller wattage bulbs, lowering costs and keeping the tortoise room at a more manageable...

    Planicauda have arrived

    Really excited to work with this species, checked off another one on my bucket list (anyone have any parrot-beak tortoises lying around?). So far they are settling in nicely. Basking temps max out at 97, ambient gets around 83-85. @Kapidolo Farms, didn't you keep a group a while back, how did...

    Govee vs Inkbird temperature and hygrometer??

    I’ve been using Sensorpush brand dual temperature/hygrometers now for 2 years and have had multiple rust/moisture issues. They recently came out with a moisture “resistant” version, but of course it costs $70. I need roughly 12-16 sensors which is a huge investment at $70 a pop. I’ve been...

    Ban on interstate trade with Egyptian tortoises?

    I was unable to go to TTPG this year, but I heard there was information regarding listing Egyptian tortoises as endangered, effectively destroying interstate buying/selling unless both parties lived in the same state or had CBW permits. Is this true? If so, what an incredibly terrible piece of...

    Medium grade orchid bark-age appropriate?

    At what size/ weight is medium grade orchid bark appropriate for hatchlings/juveniles? If I pack it down does it help hatchlings navigate a medium size bark easier? I’m having a hard time finding 2 cu ft bags of fine grade but found medium grade locally, thanks!
