I Built a huge table and laid out plants, logs and rocks to return to see everything moved to new locations! The log tunnels aren't easy to move (!) Why this behavior??

I'm so sad-- our Buddy was taken by a snake. I got him out of the snakes mouth but his back legs were pretty bad. He died on a wet papertowel- and it seemed like he was in shock. I'm not sure what to do. I took the rocks away from the pond and tried to find the snake but couldn't. I'm worried...

We had a little cardinal couple living in our yard for five years. Sadly tonight the little male appeared on the ground wanting to hide-- he must have known he was sick. I scooped him up and put him inside a safe pen area and he passed away. Right before he passed he kept looking up at me and...

I'm new to having a Russian and he's been outside the last couple of days and nights and it's been raining a lot. My box turtle loves the rain and humidity and thrives, but Hemi I'm not so sure. I brought him inside tonight to dry warm temps and after a soak he climbed up on his rock and did...

I'm addicted to watching this :) !!! Turn up the sound...so neat :) http://www.allaboutbirds.org/page.aspx?pid=2433 More... Two heron chicks in the first morning light of their lives! A third egg has pipped overnight and you can watch the rest of the hatch live at...

Dog dug and snatched Hemi my beloved dessert tortoise (and ate through his pen wire!!). He's ok!! But his shell was Damaged around two edge areas. He was bleeding there too- almost like a scrape. Gosh I spent so much time helping him and now this. He seems to be ok-- but is there anything I can...

Hi there, I have a three-toed box and a Russian and they are excited about spring :) they were outside in 70 to 80 degree afternoons this week, but as soon as the temps dropped to 60 I brought them inside. What's too cold? This week will be cooler-- but they still seem to want to be outside...

Finally a wireless heating pad...

Wondering what kind of tortoise this is?

Ok, here's something that I learned this week: I used the typical pet store food dish when feeding Hemi. I didn't think twice about it--it is deep, but not too deep (at least so I thought). Earlier this week I had it in the dishwasher and had to use a lid for his food. I quickly noticed a...

Thinking of those nearby who have their babies outside during this rare snow event. I brought my little ones in during the hurricane. Should you bring them in with an early snow or is the ground warm enough?? What is warm enough? (This year we are all sleeping inside and just finally...

Heads up: The bagged salad products include those with "best by" dates ranging from Oct. 18 to 21. They were marketed under the brand names Fresh Selections, HEB, Marketside and Taylor Farms and included bags of Romaine Blend, Asian Salad, Caesar Salad and Spring Mix items. The products...

It's been cold out and now I have both my box and Russian inside. My box is still eating and active, but my Russian is now sleeping and well sleeping. He's not eating hardly anything. He has lamps, heat rock, water and tons of spring mix and Mazori food but stopped. He still loves to soak and...

I took this today...they were so happy to be outside...and they even caught up with each other. So cute!! Hemi is feeling really good. He enjoyed the sunshine today :) Herbie (the turtle) is always happy and active :) Click here to see them feeling good and exploring...

I would love some advice. I'm new to the forum (and excited to see this forum :)!! I have had a three-toed box for 29 years -- she's amazing (rescue). AND I just rescued a Russian Tort. I have observed the tort for over three weeks and it's healthy. Both turtles seem healthy happy and active...
