Reptiles may not have diaphragms but I've never seen any of the herps I keep or breed (leopard geckos, crested geckos, iguanas, chameleons, bearded dragons, etc) move their heads and limbs when breathing, of course a tort is very different and I'm not use to his little behaviours yet. And the...
Yes I would rather have it checked over and on record at my herp vet just to make sure everything is all good, small price to pay just to make me feel better lol From what I was reading I thought maybe the clicking and pumping was an exaggerated attempt to breath but his little eyes are clear...
I've searched the forum for "clicking" noise and have only found little bits and pieces, some suggest it could be a resp illness and someone else said it was normal? My little tort is eating well, a good sized dish of fresh food a day but he/she makes a clicking noise all the time. It also kind...
Omg he/she is eating like a pig now and I feel foolish lol I keep iguanas, chameleons, breed several different geckos morphs and dragons and all of that but am a complete newbie when it comes to torts. I've also read how easily they dehyrdate so after 4 days with no food or water, always having...
I have a vet appointment this afternoon. Hope I'm just over reacting, omg I'd be sooo upset if something happened to him, I've only had him for 4 days.
So as you know i just got my new little tort on Saturday .. I haven't seen him eat (I am at work all day bt the food just seems to be shrivled up when I get home) .. or drink. I've soaked him a few times and he moves around a little, usually from one hide sport to the next .. but he never seems...
I was told he was a 2011 hatchlings I guess he can't be older then 4/5mon .. I didn't want to buy one younger then 1yr but I didn't really have a choice.
No it doesn't feel soft to me. And she/he was puttering around a bit today which is reassuring. She is in a exo tera tank until tomorrow, I need to rearrange my herp room to make room for my tote set-up. I attached a pic, any suggestions let me know :tort:
My name is Michelle and I am in Ontario, Canada :) So needless to say I can't have a permanent outdoor enclosure LOL
My little tort is pretty inactive today .. hasn't eaten anything yet and has just been sleeping all day. I gave it a quick soak in very shallow water to get all the calcium...
He/she is adorable either way and I am extremely happy with my tort but you know how a LOT of the time, especially with reptiles, what your sold isn't necessarily the morph or specifes you were told it was so I was just checking :)
There is a slight size difference between greeks and herms...
I drove quite a ways todayspecifically to get a Greek Tort. I keep and breed other reptiles and had done business with this particular store owner a few times buying/selling different herps but unfortunatly the owner was not able to meet me at the store as planned. Instead the store manager was...
