Hi all, I've been a member for years but haven't posted anything in a long time, this seems to be the only place I can post anything at all. I suddenly have a beetle and mealworm problem in my enclosures... I'll wait and see if I'm good to post this here before I go any further

WHen you look at something 20 times a day, every day... You don't really notice the changes taking place... But I got little flo on the 30th of June this year. I took this picture when I got her home and soaked her. This next one was taken yesterday in the garden.... My beautiful little flo :)

Here's Phillip enjoying a now rare treat of Komodo tortoise food. He goes mad for it now... He's not a fruit fan whatsoever and I thought he was due a treat. And yes, he still has the famous "little pink dish" he's in for the night now, has had his bath. Dinner, bask, then bed when he slinks off...

Hey all, was browsing threads when I noticed a money plant in an enclosure. I've read some real conflicting things about weather these are safe, but I found there are more than one type of "money plant" (I found three on google) I have a HUUUUGE one, but have never fed it as I believed it to be...

Thought some of you may find this interesting, and I'm looking forward to going to see both in the next couple of months. Our nearest zoo, about 20 minutes from us is introducing new attractions this month- giants. As zoos go, Colchester is pretty amazing care wise. But again, tortoise care...

Looks like the moss that I have added today is a big hit. Though I do wonder how long it will take me to get used to the smell. I feel like I'm living underground myself :D

HI all. As you know, mazuri isn't available in the uk. This is due to the honey. I was thinking about it, is honey good for torts, is there nutritional value to it or is it just a tasty binder? Just wondering if it was worth introducing into their diets somehow? Thanks :)

Picked up a run today for when I'm not about in the garden. My mother in law found these on eBay, they are £60 (I have 55 as I picked it up and bartered lol) they are about 20mins away which was handy! The guy builds them, I also have a much larger one coming for Phillip. Out of all the places...

Oh. What do we have here then? Ooh. Mallow muncher... Enough of that, plantain picker.... Yes. I have a little something on my face. And what of it. Stop looking. It's mine. ALL MINE. That'll do, I'm off. You are welcome to the dregs. And while you are at it, stay away from my slate.

HI all. There are a few bits n pieces in my garden that I wonder if you can all help me identify, I have tried but with no luck.... Cheers :D I warn you, I'm pretty useless in the garden. :D 1) I thought these were strawbs until the yellow flowers appeared.... (see? Hopeless...) 2) these...

Well the tortoises have the devil in them today... It's cold and heavy rain out so phillip is wandering about the lounge for a while til it brightens up. Today he has decided to do a bit of mountaineering. I watched him do this.... (I did rescue him...) So I blocked it off... Then he decided he...

Hello all, apparently I have run out of pic space... I'm on iPhone and iPad so only use the app, are there any ways of deleting older threads and pics? Thanks x

Hello all, this is flo, the new member to the Newton household. She is 10months. She has a little pyramiding, but that will be the end of that now. She's had a bath, had an explore, had a sleep and had a dig. I luff her :D she's in there until shortly before lights out now, when shell have...

Well. Tomorrow is operation pick up the sulcata day. Today I was up at 6, as per. I spent until half one sorting out last minute bits. Used almost half a tank of petrol since yesterday.... Due to start work at two. 1:45, I stand back and look. And at risk of sounding like my husband and his...

Maybe I'm becoming a complete obsessive. Now is it me or can anyone else see a tortoise head cloud here...

Well tomorrow is d-day. Well, S day... Going to go and look at a big farm full of sulcatas (Amongst other things) and all being well, pick one out, go home, continue setting up, and fingers crossed pick him/ her up on Tuesday :) Exciting times :) been looking forward to this all week....

Just a quickie, tom & emysemys - unable to post on the actual thread, (so you want to adopt a desert tortoise) but both your informative pieces are a great idea, and a really really good read. Incredibly useful. Cheers :D

Having two cats that think they are incredibly regal, (they OWN the house not us...) this made me laugh a lot :) thought I'd share...
