I'm interested in trading Shelly & New Guy for a young aldabra, preferably female. Shelly's shell is about 17 inches long and New Guy is about 16 inches. They are sexually active but haven't had a successful clutch yet due to their indoor enclosure and lack of room to create a burrow. Shelly...
So today was my last day of spring semester. I got home from school, misted the frog vivs and fed them. Since it's going to be raining the next couple of days I'm sure the house is going to get loud haha. Anyways, I went to go feed the torts in the garage and I found this single egg sitting...
Hey everyone, just a heads when you're building your enclosure or for your pre-existing one. Last night I was in the house working on schoolwork and my wife came home and said there was smoke in the garage and it STUNK! I went out there to see and from what I can figure, my male must've been...
Well, I think I'm about done with my winter enclosure for Shelly and NewGuy. I'm kinda disappointed with the end result simply because of the size. It's honestly the best I can do for this winter until my wife and I can buy a new house next summer when our lease it up on this townhouse. I...

More than once now I have noticed this behavior with my pair. They seem to share the "Team work is dream work" mentality and I was wondering if anyone else has ever had anything like this happen. In what looks like an attempt to escape their enclosure (a large plastic koi pond for a couple...
When I was in the military I lost Shelly the day before I was supposed to go to Las Vegas for 2 weeks for work and I thought she was gone until I got this sent to me while in Vegas (this was 2 years ago but I just joined and thought I would share). She made the base newspaper then I had to go...
Hello everyone! My name is Josh and I recently set up an account on tortoise forum. I'm starting up a viv for poison dart frogs and have been spending a lot of time on their forums and then I asked myself, why don't I have an account on a tortoise forum since I own 2 sulcatas. Well here I am...
