    "Reliability" of temperature sex determination

    Hello! I have been thinking about this for awhile, and am curious about people's experiences. Do most breeders practice temperature sex determination with their eggs, and if so, how reliable is it? How often do they end up being the 'wrong' sex? Appreciate your thoughts :) Thanks...

    Keeping a giant tortoise in Canada/Northern US

    Kitten went on an adventure today and then found a nice warm spot to have a nap. When I picked him up to put him back in his enclosure he was fast asleep. <3

    Where to get cactus/succulents in Canada

    I am going to grow a food graden for my star and I've ordered a good grass mix but I'd like to get some cactus/succulents they can eat. Most places I've looked either don't ship to Canada or don't properly label the plants. I want to make sure I get the right things. Does anyone know a...

    New Member, just got a baby Indian Star Tortoise!

    Hi! I just got my baby star (the pet store told me he is about 4 months old). I have him in a pretty large aquarium, and he seems to be doing good so far (he's eating well at least). I have lots of questions! I hope some of you have Star's to help me out. I'm going to set up some hides...
