    2 Cherryheads, excellent marbeling, 6 inches, Oregon area only

    I bought these 2 cherryheads from Tyler Stewart and they are excellent! Due to life circumstances, I am looking to sell these in Oregon only as it is much too cold to be shipping anywhere. We live in Salem and would be willing to meet in Portland or Eugene if this helps. They are about 6...

    Is something wrong with this guys head? Photos Incl.

    I have noticed that this cherryhead's head (1.5 Years old) has been seeming to lose coloration. It has always been much more "orange" version of color for a cherryhead, but it appears to be fading out. None of my other torts are experiencing this and they are all fed the same. 1. Is this a...

    2 questions, Beak size, and plastron question, Photos Included!

    Question 1: This little guy is just over 1 years old. His platron seems to have a spot that is not "filling" in or growing in. It is not an opening into him, it just doesnt seem to be growing properly. He's eating and behaving normally. Should I leave it be, put neosporin in there (it...

    Pictures of my 4 younger redfoots/Cherryheads ~ 1year old

    I thought I would share some photos of my 4 younger Redfoots/Cherryheads. They are all ~ 1 year old, and all around 3" SCL. One of them was sick at one point where his plastron was almost transparent. Thankfully with a vet trip and some antibiotics, he has made a great recovery. Some of you...

    Strange Raised Marks on Redfoot's Face (side)

    This Redfoot of mine is about 6-7" SCL. He has recently had these brownish marks on this side of his head. They are slightly raised from the skin. I am not sure what they could be? Could he have scratched his face on something? Are they abnormal growth or something to be more concerned...

    New foods? Might they cause a tortoise to throw up?

    So I finally found some Mustard Greens and decided to feed them to my redfoots. As can happen, some didn't eat much of it really quick, but most of the babies (~7 months) did eat it. A bit later I noticed some green material on the substrate. Upon further investigation I found that it was...

    Ok, some updated photos on my redfoots plastron, Odd color?

    So if you have been reading the forums, this baby is the one that I have been having issues with. Namely a super thin plastron, and he is also now on antibiotics. It seems that where his plastron is paper thin...I mean more than normal..the color is almost looking like it's becoming...

    Thoughts on Carolina Pet Supply?

    I ordered some TNT with Probiotics and received confirmation of payment. I have still not heard anything back, like a tracking number that shows my item was shipped, Nor will they answer their phone or return my calls. Is this common for this place? I thought a lot of people like this...

    If tortoise were to ingest some anti-bacterial medicine?? Odd question incoming.

    You might have read where I have a 5-6 month old baby that has a very soft plastron, and was possibly having an eye issue as well. I have been putting Neosporin around his eye area at the recommendation of another member, and he seems to be having less issues with this one eye. If he were to...

    Baby Redfoot's plastron is really thin?

    Out of 4 babies all around the same age (they are now around 5 months), one baby's plastron is really thin. The others have hardened up some and this guy's is just really thin. It almost appears as if it is a little sunken in from midpoint to his tail region. One eye was also closed but...

    What temps. for top of substrate with Heat Ropes?

    So, I have been using heat ropes to help raise humidity and to warm the substrate for the last couple of months. I have also been using a temp. gun to check how warm various spots are on the surface of the substrate. What would be considered a "good" range for the surface level temps to be...

    Which do you use or prefer for Miner-all? Indoor or Outdoor?

    Mold in my new enclosure

    So it seems I have mold growing in my new enclosure along the wood panels. I guess it doesn't really surprise me considering I have had very high humidity ~90% along with ~85 degrees temperatures. I can't be the first one to have experienced this and was wondering if any of you other folks...

    I have to ask also I guess, Male or Female?

    Hey everyone, So our tortoise is just over 4 years old and is just a tad over 6" SCL. I understand that he/she might still be too small to determine sex, and please feel free to say just that, but also share if you feel confident of a gender. Thanks!!

    Anyone ever use Hemlock barkdust/mulch for substrate?

    Since I live in the PNW, we just can't get the Cypress Mulch here. I know to stay away from Cedar so I avoided that. I did look at fir, but boy does that stuff give you splinters/slivers really quick, so I passed on that. The only other stuff I found was the Hemlock. Is this stuff a definite...

    Used this stain, did I make a mistake?

    I was building a new enclosure for my tortoises and I used this stain on the outside of the wood, and a little on the inside of the enclosure. What are your thoughts regarding the safety of this stain in the home and inside the enclosure, AND about how long would you let the wood sit before...

    Question about mixed specie breeding

    In another thread, someone mentioned that some baby pictures looked like a cross breed of Redfoot and Leopard tortoises. Sorry if my questions are common knowledge, but I just don't know the answers. 1. Would it even be possible to get babies from this union? 2. If yes, would these...

    Baby Redfoot, white scales? pics incl.

    Hi guys, this baby redfoot is only about 2.5-3 inches SCL, probably closer to 2.5 inches. I have had him for just 2 days now and it seems that some of his scales on legs have turned white. I am not sure if it is a fungus or not, but the white does not come off when sprayed with water, nor...
