    Help ID species?

    So a friend of mine reached out to me to help her figure out what species this turtle/tortoise is and I'm at a loss... The pictures are from the "breeder/owner" who was going to give one to her and she would like to know what in the world it is so it can be cared for properly. Sorry if this...

    Temporary/travel storage bin enclosure

    So Rosie's nice wooden enclosure ended up getting the water barrier destroyed and thus the moisture and substrate bugs ended up deep in the wood rendering it a total loss. So, since we are moving in the next few months we decided to hold off on building a new enclosure until we know what space...

    Newest indoor enclosure

    Rosie was living in a plastic tote bin after moving and so I decided we needed to make her something larger. She's about 5 years old and will eventually be living outside when we get a fence installed. Anyway, about the enclosure: It's about 31" by 62" and 24" tall. The one side has a 40watt...

    Newest Redfoot Enclosure

    We built a new enclosure for our redfoot. It's going to eventually be her wintertime only enclosure but for now she's in it full time. It's about 5 feet by 3 feet and has a 24" 5.0 uvb tube and a 40watt bulb for basking (about 85 on basking side, 78 on darker side). Humidity is staying around...

    Short tailed opposum?

    Anyone on here own or previously owned a short tailed opposum? I want a pocket pet that I can handle, isn't requiring a huge space, and isn't a rodent. Just curious if anyone has experience with them? I've done research and found a local breeder but I like first hand experience too!

    My Newest Additions: Rats!

    So as a belated birthday gift my boyfriend gave me permission to get rats. These guys are young and while handled lots, they're a bit jumpy to new things. Like the sound of a camera shutter which causes them to flip out and freeze, so I apologize for the meh quality camera phone pictures! The...

    Someone once said labs don't shed

    I know they're lying! Of course, this was years ago before we had labs. I have two labs and shedding never ends. Anyone else relate?

    New growth lines?

    I know there are a lot of related topics but I couldn't find any identical. I was curious if these were new growth lines since I haven't noticed any changed colorations this white on Rosie before despite her continually growing. I took a picture dry and one wet. It is not soft and does not...

    Anyone have small critters?

    I have two gerbils and used to have a lot more gerbils; have had hamsters, degus, mice, spiny mice, dwarf hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and twice hedgehogs. A lot were brief fosters for a small pet rescue I ran. But here are pictures of my two gerbils: I need to get some better pictures...

    Question: What age/size do you leave outside?

    I know a lot of redfoot owners keep their torts in a variety of climate zones but I was just curious at what age or size you leave your tortoises outside? Especially for overnight. Obviously predator proofing, temperatures, and humidity play a role. My Rosie is 2 years old and currently she...

    Red or yellow at the pet store?

    So I saw this little guy (gal?) at the mom n pop pet store. I know it's housed on recycled newspaper but it's amazingly non pyramided and active. So, I have Rosie who is a redfoot and shows it with orangish red head and leg scales. This one, while listed as a redfoot does not have any red on...

    Russian in NC

    Russian, 3 year old male in a 30 gallon tank. They're asking $150, but am seeing if he's still available and price negotiable. They say he loves to fight with his reflection, and is kept on sand.

    Any Gardeners Out There?

    I know there has to be... Also, I realize it's a crazy long time since I've posted but all is well. We're in a rental, so we're not doing anything *too* permanent (landlords don't care, but don't want to sink a bunch of money into a place that isn't ours fully). Buuut the front yard...

    Ostrich Impersonation

    Rosie has the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" mentality. I caught a picture of her "hiding" spot today and couldn't help but laugh. :D

    Name a time your tort has made you laugh

    Was just thinking that a lot of us have some good (and often hilarious) experiences with our pets. Just thought we could take a time to reflect on these moments and share some laughs with others. Feel free to post your own funny story or photographed moment! :tort: When I had Rosie exploring...
