    Day 56 Update Hatching a Tortoise Without the Eggshell: WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT

    Everything necessary to grow an embryo is inside an egg. What’s the difference between a live bearer or egg born embryo? The shell vs the umbilical cord.

    Scams

    I’ve had a scam a few yrs ago. Also talked about shipping the Leopard tortoise to me. I had free air miles to Boston, where they admitted they weren’t there & it was a scam.

Other factors including the ratio of calcium-to-phosphorus in the diet, temperature, access to natural light or UVB, dietary fiber and overfeeding were also cited...

    Hatching Tortoise Without the Shell

    Babies are delicate and needs to be soaked a few times a week. Daily is even better especially when it’s hot outside. Try different vegetation, kale, romaine, cactus pad, grassland Tortoise food, wheatgrasss, strawberry, etc. I put mine outside in a locked cage with shade, during the daytime. I...

    Rehome

    I may be a new member to this forum but I’m not a novice at raising Tortoise & turtles & other herps. My interest is purely for the care of the refdoot. If you would meet me at a local airport, I’ll fly up & get the Tortoise. Thank you Christopher
