We never used anything other then hot water and some man power to clean any of our tanks. The Florida Snapping turtle is a subspecies of the Common Snapping turtle. The tubercles on its head are sharper than most Common Snapping turtles species.

Haven't posted in a long while and I hate to post with such a tragic topic. But this evening when I woke up and went to check on all of the turtles and torts I found our Florida Snapper upside down in his tank and he was gone. Had gotten him for my husband a few months back,( He really wanted...

Yes, a male and female.

I almost feel like I walked in on a lover's quarrel.

I will have to keep a closer eye on these two. I will not tolerate mutiny in my house.

Couldn't help but laugh when I caught Bowie and Wynn having a "little morning chat."

The first little box turtle is actually with the Mid-Atlantic Turtle and Tortoise Society. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/24404115 I'm sure they're just using that as a way to help find him a home the same as they use petfinder.

A few weeks ago, a pregnant friend of mine asked me if I would like to take her red eared slider. I thought about it, for like maybe two seconds because well I can't say no to turtles. So we got him (and a little convict cichlid I named Elvis) and she gave us a smallish dish tank, that was...

I've had plants in my tables for a little while now and no body seems interested in knocking the over, they mostly use them to hide behind and in the leaves. Then again I don't have a Russian, and from my understanding they're a little more...rumbustious. But maybe you could elevate the plants...

Thank you thank you

I live in Delaware. I don't think our local shelters usually come across exotic animals, so I don't know what they do typically. But i'm glad we found them.

Thanks! I think considering, neither my husband nor I are skilled carpenters, we still did a good job. And all of the new residents of the condos are extra happy, so that's all that matters. :-)

Like many other turtle / tortoise owners we have been using this time (winter) to build some new , larger and more glamorous spaces for our little friends to live. I have named them the turtle condos, since they are next to each other and when the third one is built, for our redfoots, it will...

I just got done watching and it was so heartbreaking and inspirational. It was a good reminder for me how important conservation is and how I can start even at home with my little turtle family and who knows what will grow from it.

So far so ... ok? here in the center of Delaware, where I am. But i'm hearing terrible things from around the state. Flooding, and a few of our towns seem to have disappeared underwater. My mom lives in Cape May, NJ and her and my stepfather decided to "wait it out". Sigh. Been calling her...

The only thing I had wished to have gotten were a nice pair of rubber boots. I mean other then for the obvious reasons, everywhere being under water, my feet are getting soaked with taking these dogs outside. I even lost a shoe in the mud!

I'm in Delaware and it looks like we'll get hit straight on. My sister lives on the coast and her neighborhood as already been evacuated, though she still refuses to leave. But we're watching her 12 year old Jack Russell. Blue hasn't quite gotten the understanding that little dog doesn't always...

Hothand packets! That's brilliant! Thanks. I live in Delaware and we aren't use to hurricanes or big storms here. So when we have the treat of one we Delawarians tend to panic. The grocery store was a mad house, but I doubt anyone will be buying Hothands.

No generator. None to be found for sale even if I could afford it. Hot water bottles we can manage. Oh, and we do have some sterno cans around here.

So, it looks like Sandy will be hitting us directly. We have water, plenty of food, we're even watching my sister's Jack Russell (Much to Blue's amusement). But the one thing I am worried about is heating for my tort babies, especially my little Leopard Rory. Does anyone have any tips?
