About 4 years ago my sulcata ate a few bunches of spotted spurge while outside grazing. She wouldn't come out of her hide, or eat, for 2 or 3 days. She is fine now. Actually she is pretty awesome, but I digress...where was I? I researched it and found that it was toxic. The problem is its...

It has these slightly thick small leaves. Trees are along my new proposed grazing area. They are very drought tolerant small 15-20 foot trees. I live in the foothills of San Diego so they can handle full screaming sun

I don't keep Russians, but there is a nice little article in the new reptiles magazine about them. The issue has 2 baby horned frogs on the cover. It has nice pictures and a bit about breeding. Just a little heads up!

I am Extending my tortoise enclosure using a boulder "corridor". There is a large patch of grass that i would love to allow my tortoise to graze without having to pick her up and put her there! At 60 lbs it's getting harder every day. I was considering a concrete soaking pond with a drain...

This is a friends red foot. I keep a large sulcata at home. I went over to check out their set up. It looked good. Vision cage nice water dish heating great helix thermostat etc... The tortoise seemed feeble and when I flipped it over it looked wrong. I have never seen fungus on a tortoise...
