I am in northwestern Pennsylvania and looking for female Ornates or 3 toeds. I have a large outdoor enclosure, as well as indoor if/when needed. I have one male Ornate that appears to be infertile as no eggs have ever hatched outdoors or when incubated. He is aggressive with other males, though...
Due to some changes in our household, I am rehoming my 2 redfoot tortoises. I don't know their hatch dates, I bought them in September and was told they were 5-7 months at that time. They appear healthy and eat well. They both have irregular scutes.
I won't ship them right now. I am located...
My 2 new baby Redfoots arrived this morning. I have named them CherryBlossom and LittleSunshine, but that could change when my daughter gets home from school and claims them for herself!!
They both have irregular scutes, but we don't mind, it just makes them special!
I have been reading about how incubating at higher temps in an attempt to get females can produce irregular scutes, so I got to wondering if anyone has a male with irregular scutes or if they are all female?
I have found two little RF hatchlings near me with irregular scutes that needed a...
I have used DHL twice and they were fantastic, but I believe they are out of business now. I have also used UPS and FedEx and had excellent service with both. UPS and FedEx both seem to run somewhere around $50 for overnight, that was for an adult box turtle. I had them shipped to the vet clinic...
I am looking to adopt or buy a few more 3 toed boxies. This spring my husband built us a wonderful new outdoor enclosure, which is 20'x6'. We currently have 2 three toeds, Betty that I rescued last year, and a juvie that I also believe is female, so I'd like to add some more girls, but would...
I would like to trade my young adult male Russian tortoise for a female box turtle, any kind except Eastern (not legal here in PA).
He is a great Russian, but is very aggressive with my other male, so I would like to find him a new home. He has been kept outdoors all summer, but was inside...
Thanks so much for all the info, you guys are great! I guess my worry was that the vermiculite would dry out right around the eggs. I didn't think I was supposed to remove the eggs to stir it up when I added water. So adding it around the eggs will be OK, it won't dry out right around the eggs...
My 3 toed layed her eggs on Saturday night. I brought them in when I found them Sunday AM. I put them in peat moss/soil mixture (which is all I had-it was what she layed them in) in a plastic container in a warm place until yesterday when I got my incubator. Today I finally got my vermiculite...
I just moved (3 days ago) my turtles to their brand new outdoor enclosure. My big 3 toed girl seems like she is in heaven out there! Before I adopted her in the fall, she lived in a 20 gallon aquarium for years, so I was so excited to get her moved outside.
Anyway, to get to the...
Well, I don't think there is much chance of me finding the desert boxie I was hoping for, so I will try for something else. I lover Eastern boxies, but am not legally allowed to keep them here in PA. I did check, however, and am allowed to import an Eastern box cross. I asked the fish commission...
