    R.I.P. Shelley Tortellini LaTort

    Very Sad! Very sorry for your loss. It really P's me off to see people do that to defenseless animals. See it a lot with reptiles - they think 'Oh well, it's just a tortoise'. Karma will get 'em. RIP Shellster

    Box Turtles - how many together?

    I've read strong recommendations against keeping more than one tortoises in the same enclosure. What about Box turtles and Wood turtles? Are they any more tolerant, or does the same go for them? Also, is the room needed for their enclosure comparable to torts, or can they be housed in...

    Why Are Sucata hatchlings so low priced?

    I have noticed that often, hatchling Sulcata tortoises are much lower priced than other tort species. Why is that?

    How dangerous are HOME DEPOT plants?

    Zero - forget Home Depot & Lowes. Visit your small local mom & pop nurseries. Ask them about spraying - they will be honest. Look for butterflies and bees among the plants. Also, if they have edibles, butterfly plants and MIlkweed, they most likely do not spray. :cool:

    How dangerous are HOME DEPOT plants?

    I'm in the landscape industry and have an addendum to respectfully include your statement regarding pesticides on plants. Many/most small growers do not use pesticides on all of their plants. Take Milkweed, herbs, etc. There are no pesticides used there. In many small nurseries I've been in...

    HELLLPPP!! Torts covered in ticks

    This works like magic. Same with wooden match that is immediately blown out. As noted, tick releases immediately. Using tweezers, you may get the body, but the head may be left and can burrow into the animal's skin. I did this with my dogs on the odd occasion they picked up a tick or two in...

    Well done, Kookie! When you are ready, maybe you should look for an adoptable or regime tortoise.

    Predators/Plants/Habitat for RF

    I feel your pain. We had a serious raccoon problem In Orlando a few years ago and nothing worked. Soon as one or even a family was trapped, others took over the territory. Fast forward to Sarasota - same issue plus feral cats. Then in came coyotes. Have not seen one cat in 3-4 years & no...

    Escapes In Progress...

    This has GOT to be a learned behavior. No way this is instinct! Had a neighbor with a new cypress wood fence that kept their dogs in. No breaks and completely fenced around the back yard. Came home one day and a 5' gator had climbed the fence and was in their pool! Found scrapes all over a...

    Building an Enclosure for a Baby Redfoot

    No need to fog or cover the glass. That is an old myth, and it indicates you've been reading the old wrong info. This is part of Tom (The Dog Trainer)'s response to a previous like inquiry.
