Hi, hubby finally made my table for my cherries! Need about 3 cu ft to fill it. Cant find just dirt. Have been using coco coir, but expensive for large amount. Saw Ecoscraps- listed as coir, friut/veggie compost? Heard of this??
I dont know what happened to my girl, she went very quickly. I posted last week that I thought she might have respiratory infection, but she didnt have eye/nasal discharge. Just an incident of foaming after being in tub.
I'm worried about my other 4, but they all seem fine and are either...
I have noticed some things with one of my cheryhead hatchlings. She is about 6 months old and 71g today. Two weeks ago she was 85g!!
I had been weighing the torts (5 cherries) every 2-3 days when I soak them, and she had been steadily gaining. Had company and didnt soak or weigh so often. :(...
So I went to a reptile convention yesterday. Was a bit disappointed- mostly snakes. Only 6 torts found- 2 pyramided sullys, a nice big male red foot, and 3 juvie cherries. I thought about getting another cherry but mine are way prettier than the ones at the show :D And their plastrons looked...
So I have 2 four month old cherries on hold. Hope to get by end of month. I do plan on getting a couple more as well. ;-)

I am so excited!! I can't get them for awhile due to weather (Im in CO). But I am planning indoor enclosure and am inspired to garden for my guys! I have seen the list of plants but if anyone from CO region has suggestions on what would grow nice here, I am all ears.
For those of you in a dry...
Hi guys, my tortoise quest has been pushed back a bit- I got a beardie, then adopted a tiny beardie with MBD. She is taking up my time and $ right now.
So part of my reasoning on the cherry head (other than they are gorgeous!) is they should be able to eat the same salad as my beardies...
Hello all! My name is Missi and I have been lurking here for awhile. My husband and I are looking for a tortoise, most likely a cherry head.
I do have some questions but will be doing some more searching on here and post them later.
Thanks!
