This Hypomelanistic is one of my personal holdbacks that I am offering to the public. I am selling this tortoise as "unsexed" as it is too soon to tell. She/he is at the 5.5in mark and is thriving. Gorgeous markings making it an "Extreme" Brazilian specimen that can pass down these markings to...

I have a true Brazilian Cherryhead Redfoot that I am looking to place into a great home. This little Cherry has had 110% love and passion that went into raising her. Trips outside on sunny days in a beautiful outdoor set up, me up late night worm catching, outside cutting clover and dandelion...

Hi all:) I have decided to rehome my 6 inch Ivory, Richard Fife line. I have a few different projects going on and just don't have any reason to keep her at the moment. Other than her being awesome!;) I have had her since she was a baby. Growing smooth, raised humid. Feeding on a high fiber...

I would like to know what other people, that have large sulcatas, use for their water source. I was thinking of a hanging dog bowl...??? Need something bulldozer proof lol.

I saw night visions post and thought to myself, I have the opposite problem going on lol. During most of this spring and summer I've been able to keep my back doors open (screens got busted because of my bad dog "Piggy"...) Anyway, one day I found my big girl "Lana" in my house! She cruised...

I have a few Ivory torts but this is my newbie meeting his new girlfriend for the first time.....He didn't waste ANY time lol

My 21in female sulcata "Lana" just nested and practically dug a hole to China (outside) so I figured the nesting area "inside" that I used to have for my girls is no longer sufficient. So I'm adding on a piece that will attach onto the front of the "Tortoise House" so they will be able still lay...

My incubator is at 86-87 degrees. Fluctuates only by 1 degree. I have 64 eggs in the one incubator. They are all in plastic containers with 50/50 vermiculite water ratio. That makes my incubator go to 99% humidity for the first couple days until the Vermiculite dries out a bit. But even after...

Ok. Obviously I didn't get my tortoise drunk lol, BUT she's certainly acting like it. THE RUN DOWN- Her name is Cherry Blossom. She's my 10in adult marbled gorgeous girl:) I have her in with my other adult CHs and I'VE ONLY HAD ISSUES WITH HER AND MY OTHER CHERRIES ARE FINE... (that's why I'm...

So this is my first time dealing with fungus on a RF hatchling. I took care of it and it has healed perfectly but Im trying to figure out "the cause". I read it's because it's too wet. Fine. I've raised RFs in this same type of environment with no issues before. Why all of a sudden now. So I'm...

I mentioned my "Magical baby" in my last thread...my egg I have in the incubator. Well, I thought I'd throw this out there to see what kind of responses I get. I have ONE MAGIC EGG in the incubator. This time last year I had 84 EGGS in my 3 incubators. Had an 80% hatch rate...good times:)...

I found an egg that was dropped by one of my yellow foots about 5 months ago. No biggie. Put it in the incubator. Months go by...I candle lit it at about 3 months.... and nothing. No signs of life what so ever. I then kind of forgot about it, thinking it was no good. But it wasn't molding so I...

My Cherryhead laid 4 eggs about 130 days ago (127 to be exact) My question is, do I need to spray eggs to help hatching? There are def torts inside. I candlelit them about 3 weeks ago and saw them moving all around. Now I can hardly see anything as they are completely filling the egg. I just...

I have a group of Cherryheads that are all doing fine, except one. I pulled her from the group and brought her inside for close examination. I first noticed that she could hardly get around as her back legs were splayed and her front didn't work very well either. She was still eating and...

Hi guys. I got another batch of these gorgeous little Leos. 16 to be exact (sold 4) They are now 6 months old raised by me since they were teenie tiny. These guys are not hatchlings but robust healthy torts growing by the day. All are in perfect health and eating like pigs. They get daily...

Here we go again. I am soooo upset. I drove an hour to this herp vet. I thought she was dead when we first arrived at the vet. She was lifeless. It was horrible. I had to wait an hour to be seen. I was in tears and had both my kids with me and I hate them to see me upset. Finally did an Xray and...

I need to know what people recommend for worming their tortoises safely and effectively. And can you worm a tortoise that doesn't necessarily have worms? I have a lot of different species of torts. Most captive born, some wild caught (unfortunately) and I havent wormed any of them other than...

My female Leopard just laid eggs 2 weeks ago. And now she is acting very "off". Is there something I need to do? Does she need extra calcium or something? I always supplement her food with calcium...Is there anything specific that I need to do for a female after and before she lays eggs? Any...

:( So my Leopard laid eggs about 2 weeks ago. She was completely fine. Laid 4 eggs no problem. 2 days ago she started acting really weird. Not moving much and when she walks she slightly drags her back legs. She doesn't move around very much and stopped eating. She seems sluggish and depressed...

I caught my cherryhead digging yesterday. She looked as if she had started earlier and was then covering the hole. You know when after they are done covering their nest, their back legs are still in motion (like they are still filling in the hole) even if you move them? Well that was what she...
