    ARUM plant? I.D. Please this one's weird!

    Looks like a voodoo plant. They come back every year from a bulb, only flower every couple of years. Nobody eats them, even the dog that thinks she is a goat! Not sure what the correct name is, they're pretty much a weed around my house, only plant I can't kill..

    Autoimmune Disease/Meniers Disease

    Have you tried an infectious disease specialist? Sometimes they have a better overall health view since they deal whole body rather than specialize in a single view.

    Help!! Just moved to new house and discovered the previous owner has left a tortoise

    Looks like a male Hermann's, western or Dalmatian probably. Looks kind of small so I'm not sure which. They love water, if he stays outside in the garden offer him a soaking pan and mist/water the garden a couple of times a day. If it has plants in it you'll find that he will have favorite...

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    When people ask what you did on your day off and you say you watched the tortoise graze in the yard.

    Baby box turtle

    Lots of cover and hiding places for a baby. They dig and burrow and hide. The only time I saw my hatchling was if I caught them in the food or water bowl! I used to stalk them just to see if they were still alive. They still like to dig and hide but they're a lot more adventurous now that...

    Weird mouth behaviour!

    Could it be the time he was fed before you got him? I know mine will let me know if I am late with a meal, even though they are outside with stuff to eat in their enclosure.

    Do you keep food dish in same spot (indoor enclosure)

    The food/water bowls stay in the same place, but I hide treats. Apiece of romaine lettuce or kale o hibiscus. This way they still wander around and graze without being bored.

    need advice

    Heat yes. Basking no. You need consistent heat/temps, a little cooler at night. They definitely need darkness at night. Constant light will stress them out.

    Winter bloomers

    Hibiscus flowers come in so many colors. And different types, like the double. And has any one seen the Chinese type? They are a burgundy color with almost purple leaves. I had them for years until it froze for more than a couple of nights a few years ago. I have photos but when I try to load...
