Seen this article in FB... For know what type of tort it is, but maybe someone can post it in a more appropriate place! http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/weird/Lost-Tortoise-Taken-in-by-Alhambra-Police-269699181.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_PHBrand

I lose Herbie all the time, he always goes to the same places. Last time we were in the front of my house, I spent all late afternoon into the evening raking up leaves looking for him. Night fell and I put out a red heat lamp next to my steps thinking he'd see it and go to it. Next morning I...

I spelled "shipped" wrong in my title... That's going to irritate me!

Thanks Neal for your quick response, I spent 7 months there back in '99 on a deployment. Did like it there, but I did not drive back then, but did get off base when I could. This time I'll be living out in town so it should be fun. Family (i.e. boyfriend) will be staying behind to take care...

So, I'm moving to Guam for 2 years in April. Health Certificates, Permits, carry on person, import into Guam, yadda, yadda, yadda. I've been through website after website, e-mail after e-mail.... and by websites, I'm talking Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA (and all their extended websites)...

Sorry I'm late on this, I'm in Portsmouth/ VA Beach!

Mine does the same, she's gotta be a yearling by now. Sorry, can't assist, I just assume since she should be brumating that's what she's trying to do. My first year with her so she's not doing the natural thing.

Just wanted to add a quick note. I've lost my little one outside a few times. He's pretty easy to figure out though. Seems that as soon a he gets uncomfortable he wants to hide. I think each time he's outside the first thing he does is he surveys the area for a safe place. My house has...

I found some bugs in my coco coir, had two bags & just poured it out into my tank. First we had the flying bugs, cleaned out the tank and tried the bricks instead of the bag. Then found the little crawling bugs, small yes, like flea size. Got tired of seeing them multiply, there were just so...

Welcome to Tortoise Forum! Few things to get you started: See this link to see what your tort closely resembles: http://www.chelonia.org/testudo_gallery.htm Maybe it'll be easy for you, I checked pics for a bit and the Greek I thought I had was confirmed by a few people. So it worked out...

Absolutely Amazing!

Welcome!!! I have a Greek. Ibera to be exact. Mine is not a hatchling any longer so I only soak her a few times a week. Maybe twice but she always has fresh water, sometimes three times depending on if I can remember if it was yesterday or the day before when I last soaked. Every time I have...

Hi and welcome! Sorry that there hasn't been enough responses to your questions. I am a newbie, so I don't know much but can tell you what I've read. A lot of regulars have some very important threads in their signature blocks. "Wellington" for one. Look him up and check out his threads...

Hey Rusty, Quite a few people in here suggest not brumating (same as hibernating) for the first year you've had your tort. I too have an Ibera, I keep getting the feeling he's trying to brumate but I make sure each day he gets out if his hide and eats and when there is sun outside or if the...

Thank you Tom for taking the time to share your story! Your posts are always so educational!

I had some coco coir from the pet store (in a bag) and the first two times I used it I was getting little gnats & some other crawly bug in it. Then the third time I got smart, bought the bricks, baked them and wa-la. No bugs. Then one morning while I was tending to my other two monsters...

I had a calico while stationed in Bahrain, her name was Khalifa. Royal Bahraini family name. Such a princess, I think I called her precious more then her actual name. My second cat Missy (a Tortie of course) had a black/brown stripe & white kitty who was Sacha & an orange Tabby I called...

Me and my Ibera in Portsmouth!
