Hey guys, most of you know I have baby snapping turtles. One of them recently developed a dent on top of his shell closer to his head than his butt. They swim around in their tank just like I have had them do before. Never seen one with a dent. If pictures are needed I can get one or try to! Is...
Hello all I was reading on species of turtles earlier and I saw this species called "pink bellied snapping turtle" from New Guinea I think. I couldn't find much information about the species. Does anyone know anything about them and where I could read about them?
PS. Mr. Elvis is getting huge...
Hello there, I have put appt of thought into buying my first lizard. It is either between a fire skinks or a blue-tailed skink. I have read a few different things about them, either they do good in groups or they don't, out they get lonely. I'm 100% confused. Different websites say different...
Okay so I have been watching my 14 year old nephew for the last week while his parents went camping... It was all fine and dandy until I went on my Xbox and realized what the little boy has been doing when I go to sleep.. needless to say I called my internet provider and had him disable...
Hello all, bubba is doing fantastic. He is eating good and pooping good. I do have a question though, he keeps flipping on his back still but I notice when he does he spreads his legs out and his head and doesn't try to get up until he is ready. If I flip him over he goes right back up to his...

Hi guys, I was feeding bubba a little while ago and he seems to be having trouble, he bites at the pellet but he's not opening his mouth far enough? I know he has eaten but he just was seeming like he was having some trouble. If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it. I break the...
I came across this image and it's so beautiful I was wondering if it was a real turtle or is it a painting? If it is real does anyone know what species ? I don't have the reverse picture search for Google..
So guys I was going to get a puppy. But the person who I was getting him from sold him and couldn't mention it to me while I'm sitting here asking about him. I'm po'd right now. Why don't people have common courtesy to at least mention the fact that oh I sold your puppy so stop asking.
Today I made a decision. I cut open the eggs.. day 92.. 4 full term dead babies.. yolks almost absorbed I can see they tried to break through. What happened? I think they didn't have enough humidity somehow and got stuck in the albumen.. there is one alive one who was trying to get out didn't...

Here is a picture of my little buddy Elvis the snapper [emoji4] he's a year old now. He comes and hangs out for a little while we go play in the grass sometimes to. He really enjoys it since it's like a jungle to him. The kids were up his butt so he didn't want a photo shoot today..
Hello, how is everyone doing? Just wondering since my babies have begun hatching finally what substrate should I use for their enclosure? Of course they won't be in it yet maybe a week or so. But just wondering what substrate is the best for hatchling box turtles? Not sure if sand is ok to use...
