Tiny has put on 8 grams in two weeks. Not growing fast, but steady so far. Here he is trying to decide if the weighing pan is edible. lol

Okay, I feel stupid but I need some clarification here. On this website: http://www.africantortoise.com/edible_landscaping.htm how do you tell if something is poisonous to your suly? And, if there is no * next to the plant, is it okay to have in the enclosure? I want to add some real...

I won a Steppe Runner in Reptiles Magazine's contest, and I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with them. I am having no luck finding info online, can't even find out how to sex the little one. It is eating, pooping, and doesn't mind being handled in small amounts, but it is...

After his soak Tiny got a little snack. He is too cute!!!! He's also gained 3gr. It's not much, but I'm counting it as a win! :D Here's Tiny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro-fDqiEBMk&feature=g-upl

Okay, I know with snakes if they are shorted food when young, then given proper feedings they will catch and still reach their proper growth. Is it the same for tortoises? Or are the shorted ones always going to be smaller?

So I read that Tom had a thread on tortoise weight/age. Can anyone link it here for me? I am having no luck finding it, and want to see if Tiny is about the right weight for his age. Thanks! :)

Hey guys, my new guy Tiny has not really eaten the past two days. He has spent most of his time in his hide. When I soak him he gets very active, and everything is functioning normally. I was wondering if he could just be in the 'settling in' phase. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi guys, so I got my new tort about a week ago, and he's been in a concrete mixing tub. The temps are perfect, but I'm worried about the humidity. I can't get it to stay above 60 for more than an hour at a time. So here's my question. Should I keep him in there so he has more space? Or...

Hi everyone! I have finally gotten my Sulcata! Picked him up yesterday at Tinley Park from Down Under Dragonz. :D He's six weeks old, already eating and pooping like a champ! :D

Here are some pics of my snakes. :D Lenore, the hubby's Blood Mo, my Chrome-headed black in shed. I'll find some other pics soon. Spitfire, my McPeek Borneo. I still have to get pics of her brother who joined us a few weeks ago. ;) Seymour, one of our two Dum's...

Hi folks, I will be getting a sulcata in the next few weeks and have a question regarding UVB bulbs. I have heard that the coil bulbs are a big NO, and I should be getting a different type. Is this true? If so, are there any recommended bulbs I should be looking at? The new guy will be set...

Hi everyone! I was directed here, so I'll introduce myself. My hubby and I live right by Chicago and love herps of all shapes and sizes. We currently have 9 snakes of varied species, and I am planning on picking up a sulcata at the Tinley Expo in October. That is why I am here. I want to...
