A friend of mine was given 2 sulcata hatchlings almost a year ago and I have helped her with diet and housing requirements but even though I think everything is correct they just arent growing. They are in an outside pen. Its mostly in the shade. The burrow stays in the 70's during the day...

Is anyone interested in some aquatic turtles that lives in the Humboldt/Memphis/Jacksonville Tennessee area? I have a friend that does rescues and was given some aquatic turtles and she just doesnt have the time at the moment to care for them. They have all been to a vet this month and have a...

I have 2 desert torts and 2 sulcatas that are outside full time now. I need to know what the highest cool temp range should be. The temps inside their caves basically as most of the caves are on concrete and made with bricks and flagstones so I know they will be hotter than normal hides I just...

I have a three toed box turtle that is pretty shy and I havent seen him eat lately though I did see him swimming in the pond a couple days ago. I have a couple questions about him. First is his shell isnt round and smooth, its almost like reverse pyramiding where the center of the scutes are...

Teegers the 6in sulcata Dozer the 8in Sonoran. Bane the 6.75in Sonoran. Maynard the 5in Sulcata. So what gender are they and so far do they look ok? [hr] I know the 2 sonorans are quite pyramiding. Bane came that way. Dozer Though is probably my fault But I am fixing it...

Here is the photobucket link and each picture has either a description or the animals name. It would be great if You guys could guess the genders of Dozer, Bane, Teegers, and Maynard. http://s1165.beta.photobucket.com/user/11Tiamat13/library/Collection%20Updates Ok so short version. All the...

I found old photos of Tank and Dozer. [hr] It won't let me attach more photos but I will try in the morning. [hr] Oh and before the comments about his food: he roamed the backyard and dined mainly on grass, weeds, hibiscus, and cactus. As the occasional treats he got iceberg, grapes, and apples.

So I have the cleared out all the dead plants in Bane's new out door enclosure and now I need lots of pretty tropical looking plants. Also for those of you in Arizona what's the minimum depth for his burrow?

So I originally purchased 4 box turtles from the phx Herpetological society. The smallest one was doing fine besides not digging down and developed a white substance on his shell. He ended up passing away a few weeks after I got him. Well I sanitized the entire enclosure and the rest seemed to...

Just thought they were cute.

I was wondering if there are vitamin A supplements and where I would get them?

I thought I should introduce the rest of my reptile pets. In addition to the 5 turtles and 4 tortoises, I have 3 lizards and 6toads. First are the toads they are all fire belly toads (snap, pop, zip, zing, crash, and kapow). Then I have my two bearded dragons. The male is a "German giant purple...

I hadn't seen my male ornate boxie in awhile so I dug him up to put him outside and noticed his beak is overgrown. I think it's why I haven't seen him eat. What can I do to fix it? Or should I just take him to a vet and have them trim it? Also my female wood turtle looks like she might be...

From feb-jun I will be in another city for my work and I have someone watching all the animals but want to take the newest desert tort with me so that I can be assured he gets the proper care. I was wondering if any one had a suggestion for a temp set up? Something easily portable would be great...

How do they look? The first one is Teagers he/she is the larger of the two: [hr] And Maynard is the smaller one: [hr] The first two pics are Teagers, then two of Maynard, and two of them together.

Some more photos in the "mostly desert tort" rescue from Phoenix. My sister is currently caring for him until I get up there or she comes down here-whichever is first. Haven't got a name for him and the girl didn't say what he was called so any suggestions are welcomed. I know the cage is...

How do I stop it? I keep their cage fairly clean-as soon as I see food or poop I grab it out and sift through the substrate for any missed pieces. And so far haven't notice them eating any. However when I let them out side, even though I clean up before hand, they still find pieces of dog and...

Hey I didn't know there was a turtle section... Well I have 5 turtles. One adult female ornate wood turtle, puck, and adult male ornate box turtle, Beaker, in a 500g aquarium that is 9ft long by 3ft deep and has 5-8inches of peat moss and cypress mulch with a small pond on one side and the other...

Good afternoon I live in southern Arizona and have a variety of reptiles, three of which at tortoises. The first is Dozer a 8+ year old Sonoran Desert Tortoise with some small deformities from a suspected car accident. She has a 120sq ft outside enclosure for the summer but stays inside in a...
