My 2 torts have been outside since Feb and this will be there first winter outside. We live in Ocala, FL so it does get a little cold here. The rental that we are in does not have power to the outside so I do not know how I would be able to give them heat at night. I can bring them inside at...
I have been watching how my local reptile store is taking care of their hatchlings and finally had enough a few weeks ago when I realized they didn't have any heat on them. On Saturday I went in their to get some rats and noticed 2 of the were not there anymore and asked what happened. They told...
Our little leopard tort zuri is turning 1 tomorrow. He has been such a joy snd pleasure to care for since he came to us in March.
This is him when he arrived weighing around 36g and 2" long
And him today....clocking in at a whopping 481g and 6" long
Zenna who we think is a male and now call Zuri just reached 458g or a pound. He is only 11.5 months old. Also are there any known risks for them growing so fast?
today was weigh day and someone hit 411g today. i am still amazed at how fast she is growing.
i think it is still early to tell what sex s/he might be but just in case...
thanks
My 19 month old sulcata moved into her new enclosure on Sat with a different substrate. She has not wanted to eat while in her new enclosure. She will eat outside. My only concern is that I have to work the next 4 days and she won't be able to go outside, can she go that long without eating and...

So in a few weeks we are moving to a small town 15 miles out of Ocala, FL. It is only about a 2 hour drive from where we are now but Im concerned a little about the stress for my girls. We are moving to a rental home with a 2 acre lot that is fenced in, that I am pretty excited about. Right now...
This is a video I took a couple of days ago of Zenna loving her unusual butt rubs...enjoy and please give me some input as to why she may be doing this.
Thanks
So this past week Zenna has been rubbing her hind end on everything including my hand. She will come running if my hand is in her enclosure and just rub back and forth against my hand, is this normal?? She has some pink along her growth lines and is growing at a very fast pace, could this cause...
Zenna for the past few days has been rubbing her butt area on things in her enclosure. Does any one else have a tort that does this and is this normal? she seems pretty happy when she is doing it....
I let Zenna and Morla meet for the 1st time yesterday and here are a couple of pics.
And of course today was weigh day.....
Morla clocked in at 873g (15 months old)
Zenna clocked in at 245g (7 months old)
This pic was taken 7/9/12...to show how big she is getting...
I have been posting lots of pics of my little Zenna and haven't posted many of our sully Morla. She has grown so much since we got her in 9/2011. She turned 1yr in March (kind of a guess) and currently clocks in at 724g and 6" long.
This is the day we got her
