Some of the little guys playing in the dry leaves that we're added to their enclosure for a bit of enrichment.

Didn't see a tab for birds, but wanted to share some of our macaws enjoying the Fall weather :)

Just got I my first elongated babies!!! So thrilled to eat the pitter patter of little feet again. [hr] Haha that was supposed to be hear, not eat lol

I had to separate this pair because they were looking a little lethargic compared to the others and had lost a little weight. When I put them in their tub to soak, the male took a big gulp of water and headed for the female. Guess all he needed was a little H2O lol

Today I believe I become an official Sulcata, iguana and macaw sanctuary. This morning I found 2 blue and gold macaws left by our front gate (this now makes a total of 14 macaws that have been dumped at the park in 1 year), another giant male sulcata (now we have 9.1sulcata, wish someone would...

As anyone every used this for your torts?? It is amazing!!! I use it for all of our mammals at the park too, not one neg. fecal in over a year. The great thing about it is that there is no way for a parasite to become resilient to it like most workers. I don't know of any vets that will say it...

I was wondering which species can tolerate the toxicity of Pothos. I feed them to the skinks I have quite readily, but was always warned not to use them like I do mulberry leaves with tortoises. Recently I read all manouria can eat them without any ill side effects. Any other species? [hr] I...

Does anyone happen to have an of these guys?? Love the 5 that we have. Have seen some courting displays, but no eggs. Would love to hear about enclosure designs.

Hooray!!! I was getting withdrawals lol

Was wondering at what temp your K. erosa or homeana is most active?

Here are a few pics of the animals I care for

I love pictures of tortoises!! I wanted to start a thread to get everyone to post their favorite "feeding frenzy" pic of their beloved tortoises :) Here is mine!

Currently our Aldabras have been wintering in what used to be an office. Now that they are getting bigger and can somewhat decide on their own whether to go out or not, I would like to build a barn for them. May main concern is the flooring. We have used marine wood (used for docks) in the past...

I received a surrendered pancake tortoise a few weeks ago with severely infected feet with its toenails beginning to fall out. The vet recommended 14 days of Baytril shots ( he definitely did not like that) and 20 min soaks in Clorohexidine solution and then some silver sulfadiazine cream on...

I also take care of any animals that their mother's can't. Here is a picture of the little Roos and warthogs that I am taking care of too. Pics are of Kinixys erosa, sulcata female, European legless lizard (psuedopus apodus.

In addition to tortoises, I also love Prehensile tailed skinks, Corucia zebrata.

Hello everyone, Our group of Kinixys erosa have been breeding like crazy and one female has been laying in her water dish frequently and pacing more than normal. Could anyone recommend a special substrate/temp for incubation? She did lay once before, but damaged them before I could get to...

Hello everyone, I am so excited to finally make it onto the forum, it has been a long journey with multiple detours of login trouble and activation redirection, but I made it :)) Even with the little "bumps," I have still been watching the forum everyday and am loaded with questions and...

I am new to the forum, but am still working out the glitches to post. This is the only picture I can upload of one of the species I am trying to breed. I have 2.3 in this enclosure. I have been lucky enough to have succesful breeding and no apparent aggression. (Fingers crossed) I have a...
