    Fire Ants

    I lose Herbie all the time, he always goes to the same places. Last time we were in the front of my house, I spent all late afternoon into the evening raking up leaves looking for him. Night fell and I put out a red heat lamp next to my steps thinking he'd see it and go to it. Next morning I...

    Shiped to Guam Anyone?

    Thanks Neal for your quick response, I spent 7 months there back in '99 on a deployment. Did like it there, but I did not drive back then, but did get off base when I could. This time I'll be living out in town so it should be fun. Family (i.e. boyfriend) will be staying behind to take care...

    Greek staying hidden

    Mine does the same, she's gotta be a yearling by now. Sorry, can't assist, I just assume since she should be brumating that's what she's trying to do. My first year with her so she's not doing the natural thing.

    Lost greek tortoise

    Just wanted to add a quick note. I've lost my little one outside a few times. He's pretty easy to figure out though. Seems that as soon a he gets uncomfortable he wants to hide. I think each time he's outside the first thing he does is he surveys the area for a safe place. My house has...

    Heeeeeelp (bugs in the substrate)

    I found some bugs in my coco coir, had two bags & just poured it out into my tank. First we had the flying bugs, cleaned out the tank and tried the bricks instead of the bag. Then found the little crawling bugs, small yes, like flea size. Got tired of seeing them multiply, there were just so...

    New Greek Tortoise

    Welcome!!! I have a Greek. Ibera to be exact. Mine is not a hatchling any longer so I only soak her a few times a week. Maybe twice but she always has fresh water, sometimes three times depending on if I can remember if it was yesterday or the day before when I last soaked. Every time I have...

    Hi and welcome! Sorry that there hasn't been enough responses to your questions. I am a newbie, so I don't know much but can tell you what I've read. A lot of regulars have some very important threads in their signature blocks. "Wellington" for one. Look him up and check out his threads...
