Hi friends and neighbors! It's been ages (years) since I've last posted, which in a way is a good thing? All has been status quo with personal torts, so I haven't had much need to post. I have a male greek tortoise, and a female Hermann's. They are peachy. I am the foster coordinator of my...

I am planning to modify a 6' bookcase into an enclosure for Al'tuin over the next few months (not that I need to, I just want to!) and it has pretty short sides, just over 12" tall. I feel like that is just way too short to safely use a MVB, so I'm planning to stagger some CHEs and just use a...

I'm currently just using a basking bulb in Al'tuin's terrarium, because I've been able to get her out in her garden box a few times a week. The past week or so the temperatures have been only hitting the low 70's though, and the ground temps have only been like 75-76*F. I haven't put her out...

Sorry if this is the wrong section, I was really on the fence of where to put it. I belong to a few pet forums, and I'm currently participating in a gift swap on one of the others. I just got my presents today, and I think you guy might like one of them! She painted Al'tuin on a...

Hey guys. I've just started a new job over at my local reservoir, and we do animal shows with turtles and snakes and things that have been turned in by people, or badly injured. We have this one box turtle who has a very overgrown beak, and I was wondering what I can do to help him with...

As some of you know, I've been here for a few months now, learning as much as I possibly could before welcoming a tortoise into my home. I fox-sat for a friend of mine for a month, and in payment, he got me this cute little Greek Tortoise. (who was in fact, received in a trade for a pastel...

When I joined a few months ago I was very much set on getting a Leopard Tortoise. My feelings haven't changed, but I've grown continually more nervous about ending up in an apartment where it won't be able to get out much when it's larger. For that reason, I've decided on a Greek instead, which...

http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/pet/2927118181.html Really good looking tortoise, I do not know anything about them though, so I could be wrong. Just a word of general advice, a few months back this same poster (not the same tort) was posting a couple of redfoots, I don't know if that...

This just occurred to me when reading another thread about IDing a Box Turtle. I'm sure that many of you live in areas where there are native turtles or tortoises that romp through your yards, is there any sort of health risk to your pets there? Personally, where I live (NJ) we regularly have...

I decided to introduce myself for real. My name is Alexis, and I live in NJ. I've been here reading for several weeks, but I'm generally quite shy about posting on new forums. I do not have a tortoise, as of yet, but I fully intend to get a Leopard in the coming months. I'm very excited, and...

Hallo all! My name is Alexis, I've just joined, but I have put quite a lot of hours in reading here. I love this forum. (-: I do not have a tortoise, but I've been researching Leopard's for a few years, in anticipation of getting one, and I'm curious about something. I have a Double Ferret...
