    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    Nothing was searched, my chairs and table was moved out of the way so they could walk it out the back door. The door was broken like the door jam splintered off the frame. I am really thinking they stole the setup thinking it was for growing weed. I had it sitting right by my front window in my...

    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    Usually drug addicted thieves steal weird things? I’m not sure why anyone would take a tortoise. The only thing I could think of is maybe the lighting? But why take the whole tank

    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    Not inside the house, heating and Air guys came to replace my swamp cooler on Monday but this happened Sunday and I came home Monday morning and my back door was open.

    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    No, we sold our old tv cause we were getting ready to buy a new one, and they didn’t bother touching my safe. It is very bizarre they didn’t rummage through anything in the house like they already knew where he was

    Anyone else experience THIS? (theft of tortoise)

    Hi all, just an open discussion. I recently got my house broken into. Nothing was stolen except for my tortoise Elvis, his enclosure, and lamps.... My question is, has anyone else ran into a theft where they steal a pet of yours?? To break into your house and steal your pet??? Outrageous

    UVB & Basking - What Do You Recommend?

    I have a leopard tortoise who is about 6 months old. Do T5 bulbs only work specifically with a certain fixture? I’m trying to change my lighting setup and I am pretty interested in the tube style bulbs but I have only found T8. The T8 bulbs and fixtures I found were from ReptiZoo but I have been...

    Hatchling soaking and diet

    I’m not able to post a pic, my camera on my phone is broken and I’m getting it fixed this week. There is not any shade on the flower bed. Should there be if he is only outside for about 1-2 hours? Thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate the help! :)

    Hatchling soaking and diet

    I guess that answers my question! I wasn’t sure what him drinking even looked like, he doesn’t really stick his head under water. I soak him when he wakes up in the morning and then when I get home from work I place him outside. Once outside time is over then I let him soak again. Soaking time...

    Hatchling soaking and diet

    I am a new owner of a little guy named Elvis. I have noticed my leopard hatchling Elvis doesn’t drink the water he soaks in. Is this normal? I have noticed that when we take him outside on the grass he eats plenty of clovers and clover flowers(which I have read are good for him), and he also...

    Leopard Hatchling diet

    New member!! I just got a leopard tortoise and I have been feeding him squash and Zucchini leaves and softened Mazuri pellets. Should I give him more of a variety of food, maybe throw in grasses with the leaves? Also I have found I need to buy a thermostat due to the ambient temperature changing...
