For the first time ever, I took my tortoises to the beauty saloon 😉 This is the red carpet look they have today! Best regards!

It resulted that the third egg clutching had twins joined by the yolk sack. I already clean them of substrate and are in a small brooder box. I saw some videos describing the procedure to separate them using dental floss filament as a suture. But what is the correct timing to perform the...

One of Jacinta’s first 2 eggs hatched yesterday after 126 days. I am really excited despite I am not at home and it was a friend who enjoyed all the process. I think the second egg is not fertile, but I will keep it at the incubator a little bit longer. Here is the pick! Happy new year to...

Hi friends. Yesterday I visited Fort Pierce State Park and this little buddy gave us a great welcome reception! Someone can let me know what species is it? Here is the pick. Best regards.

This big terracota plate has been the best item I have found for Jacinta’s drinking water. Shallow, not tall and with big capacity, about 2-3 litters. Also she can get inside and refresh!

Just sharing today’s shower. I am spending much more time with my 5 torts due to the forced home office and isolation. You all keep safe!!!
