It's 7:44 am and I am waiting to get into the vet. I am the proud owner of a rescued male Leo!! He was found out wondering farm fields and in and out of barns. Unfortunately since I picked him up he has been fighting a respiratory infection. He has been in quarantine and will remain there for a...

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I've participated in the forum so I'm glad to be back. My Leopard Marley is now a little over 12" and doing great. I have long believed he/she was a male but now I am thinking female. What do you all think? Thanks for your time. I added a couple extra...

I have a bunch of beautiful green carpet moss I want to use in my Leo enclosure but wanted everyone's opinion before I use it. It came from a sand/dirt mix up in Michigan. I planned on cleaning it with fresh water to rid and possible bugs and such before using it but I just wanted second...

I have what I have been told is wild Rhubarb all over in the back of my property. I can't find it anywhere to see if it's safe for my Leo to eat. Has anyone seen this plant or know if it's safe? Thanks Life is better with Reptiles!! 1 Leo (Marley) 1.1 Russians (Thurman & Stella) 0.1 Columbian...

I am a sucker for "Find Them" pictures. I thought it might be fun to have people post their pics of their tortoises in different places either hiding or right out in the open and viewers have to try to locate the torts in the picture. I will start, I took this pic up at my cottage on the front...

I know this is a Tortoise site but I figured we are all reptile lovers so I thought I would take a chance. I have 2 Female Bredli Pythons both about 3ft. and 1 Female Jungle Carpet 3.5 ft. I am looking to find them a good home. If you would take all 3 I would let you have them for $125 total. If...

I have a 6 month old Sully and I am looking to find him/her a new home and I am hoping to trade for a young Leopard. If not I am still looking for a new home for him/her. I have never shipped an animal before so ideally it would be with someone close to Michigan. But I will listen to anyone. Thanks

My brother uses Igrow lighting technologies for his indoor garden. They are amazing full spectrum lights and last forever. I am very interested in the possibilities of using them in my indoor tortoise room for the winter but don't know how they compare to your other reptile lighting systems...

Is Upland Cress ok for my torts to eat? I have never heard of it. Thanks

I bought my baby Leo at the end of Aug. the dealer told me it was six months old. Then I got her and she was 2 1/4 inches and 42g. Tom said she may have been raised dry that's why her growth is delayed. I have followed everything from Toms threads regarding housing. I soak her every day for 30...

I was thinking of vacuum sealing and freezing pumpkin, Mazuri and dandelion greens blended together. I have considered other things as well. But I don't know if freezing it will lesson its nutritional value. Anybody have any insight? I know freezing leafy greens turns to mush. But blended...

Tonight was pumpkin carving at the Stage household. Good quality family time! This is my masterpiece that I made for my daughters. Sophia the first for all you parents out there. Everyone got in on the pumpkin mood. My two babies reeled the rewards from the festivities. Here they are enjoying...

Hello, I noticed today when I was spot cleaning my sully tub a couple little flying bugs. They looked like fruit flies to me. I have never seen them and the only thing that I have changed is I added Sphagnum to the enclosure. Has anyone ever experienced this? I completely cleaned the tub out and...

Is Wheat grass ok for Sulcatas and Leopards? I wanted to double check before I bought any. Thanks

I am using Sphagnum to kleptocracy the humidity up in my Leo tub. My question is how often do you all change it out. Will it mold? Thanks

Hi my baby Leo has the number 5 on his shell. The breeder put it on there. Any suggestions on how I can safely remove it? It appears to be blue ink. Thanks for your time. Sent from my iPhone using TortForum mobile app
