0.1 Female. 2022
I have a beautiful Vietnamese Leaf turtle. Very rare in the hobby. This is a female she's eating live food and pellets. I've kept her in a semi emersed environment. Her shell is amazing.
No trades please.
Try to pay with credit card beyond apple pay. That way you can dispute it through your cc company and they can hear your case. Also, try to deal with people on this forum. People here are a close community so everyone knows each other and bad reputations are always accessible here too. Plus...
Yes, a reptile specialist is best or an a vet facility that specializes in exotics. Didn't realize this but there's a lot of vets that only deal with common animals. Anything reptile/aviary is usually referred by others. If you don't know of one, ask your local vets and they should refer you...
Just take the tortoise to the vet. You don't want that central area to get infected, it looks like that's what started happening and now the neck is being infected.
Hello, I've been doing searches all over the web and have been trying to find a good suggestion for substrate but I've read some conflicting info. Overwhelmingly I've heard coco coir was good, so I actually went out and bought some. The thing is when I put it in, I noticed it was really dusty...
You need to change the bedding youre putting him on. Take him off that shag carpeting. It probably seems to feel nice to you, but in reality when he defecates, it will collect and harbor pathogens, and bacteria, they will multiply and it will be bad news for tortoise. Keep him on sand like...
Looking for a female indian star, doesn't matter if she's not aged for breeding, as I'm patient and can wait when she hits the age/weight. Thanks

Hi, just need a little help sexing these two.
First tortoise in question. Just a year old, I know it's hard to sex at this age, but if it's showing any probability, please feel free to expound. Tortoise is about 3 inches much smaller than than the second one coming up.

The problem isn't the welfare of the single tort, but rather the entire indigenous fauna (and especially other torts/turtles) that may come in contact with it. Domestic animals can carry strains of bacterial as well as pathogens that are unbeknownst to the owner, but also vice versa with...
You don't want to mix these cool species together, you'll muddy the gene pool. Just like how nobody wants a hybrid of a babcocki/pardalis, and if you sell them off, it will be lost in history further down when that animal gets passed around what its lineage is. My advice is don't do it. You...
Yeah, I heard of using the dremmel grinder, but I was always affraid of trying to grasp it's head/neck while operating on the beak. My tort is really shy and I think grasping him like that will betray some trust and make him more shy and hesitant about coming out. Also, he's super small...
So I was wondering how you go about trimming a beak that has already been overgrown. I don't know of any vets that will do it, and was wondering if anyone had any snazzy tricks that they've found or any simple procedure that could be self done.
And a follow down question is how do you keep a...
