    Stuck scutes treatment?

    You can't tell her size in the pic, but TRUST me when I tell you this lady is getting big.

    Flashing/blinking MVB issues

    Links/ideas needed

    I have decided to go with cypress again after dispelling my worries over splinters. I am in BAD need of a link where I can buy the equivalent of "Forest Floor". Pet stores and even Walmart are pricey as they can be for Forest Floor...at current prices it would cost between 60 and 80 bucks to get...

    Poor snapping turtle

    This fits in the debatable section I guess. I saw a story today that was nothing short of horrific. This turtle did NOTHING wrong. (to avoid the easy view video and go to the actual page just remove negative space) https: //www.aol.com/...

    Zombie Tortoise?

    Forgive the clickbait title, it will become clear in a moment... Izombie, season 2, episode 5, 29:40 in...I want someone, anyone to confirm I am binge watching a show that is broadcasting how to abuse a tortoise. A glass enclosure no larger than 20 inches squared in my opinion. Even for those...

    Lady And The Tramp Tort Style

    Imagine my surprise when BOTH just vanished...I immediately started laughing and snapped both pics. No worries, I put it back (gently). The third photo is the reason for the thread name...they are inseparable, they eat together and sleep together. Most of the time one will climb half way on top...

    Substrate troubles

    First I own a largely adult male Russian tortoise named Boris I am not only new here, but still a fairly new first time reptile owner at only 5 months in. I have muddled my way through fairly well despite conflicting opinions on everything from diet to substrate. I use a dome ceramic fixture...
