Good to have another Coloradan here. I work in Boulder and live in Broomfield. But I did live in Boulder for a number of years so I know your type for sure. If you need anything just PM me.
So I've determined that I will need to add a CHE to my enclosure. The heat rope is just not doing the job the way I thought it would. My question now is where should I place the thermostat? Right now it is attached to the heat rope. I really only want to run one thermostat for both the heat...
I used to have this problem with my box turtles when I was a teenager. I would let them loose in my dads garden and they were always burrowing under something. I would use our family dog to find them. He would come in and sniff them out every time. Got a dog with a good nose? I would bring my...
I did give it a good 30 min soak in luke warm water but was a little nervous about messing to much with the shell. He's still a little soft and had a long day and I didn't want to add to the stress. When I get home tonight I will do the gentle scrubbing and see what comes off. If it seems...
I wasn't told it's exact hatch date. I was kind of thinking he was few months old. I was also hoping someone on here with breeding experience would be able to make a guess as to age too.

So I just finished a new enclosure for a new RF and I can't seem to be able to get the temp high enough in the humid end of the enclosure. Before we get started on this, yes this is a total ripoff of The Trash Mahal (I also used 75% stuff I was able to scrap too).
On the hot end of the...
All the years that I was keeping boxies my dream was always of having a tortoise. For a teen age boy in the middle of Kansas in the 80's there just wasn't any easy way to obtain one. After reading for weeks and weeks on here and visiting web-sites referenced on here I decided that a Red Foot was...
I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now and I guess it's time to introduce myself; I know how you guys like that.
My first turtle found me on a summer day in my home town of Salina Ks when I was about 4 years old. He was an ornate box that I named speedy. My parents let me keep him...
