I saw this ad on Craigslist and thought I'd repost it here in case anyone is interested in this guy!

This morning I was approached my someone asking me to take in their tort that they can no longer care for. Before I give them an answer I was hoping to get a confirmation of the torts ID and gender.
I'd like to help them out, because they told me they have a "testudo tortoise" and are keeping...
Well I've been bitten by the tort bug again! I fell in love with pancake tortoises after seeing some of the pictures other forum members posted a while ago. Since then, I've been reading about them like crazy, researching their housing needs and pining over them constantly.
I think I'm...
It's been a week now since I adopted an eastern box turtle from a family that couldn't keep her anymore. I set the enclosure up like other box turtle owners recommended on the forum- she has a place plenty big to soak, a shady area, and some rocks and plants in her enclosure. A lot of times when...
I posted earlier this week about an eastern box turtle that I adopted. I have her in a big Rubbermaid container right now, but other than water dish and hide it's pretty bare inside. (I wasn't expecting to bring her home so I didn't have anything set up beforehand.)
Does anyone have any...
I was wondering if anyone else on here kept dart frogs. I've got some anoles and 2 green tree frogs that I have right now, but I was thinking about getting into dart frogs sometime soon(ish). I went ahead and set up a vivarium for some frogs or something else that I'm sure will turn up...
Hey everyone!
I just came into possession of a box turtle today. I got her from a family that could no longer care for her. I was hoping someone could tell me how she looks, or if you see any major problems with her.
Hey everyone!
I have a friend interested in adopting this tort that's on craigslist. I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on it first though. Does the tort look healthy and everything?

Thanks for any feedback!!
I was recently approached by someone asking me to adopt their Red foot tortoise. The problem is that I don't really know much about them! I was wondering if anyone could give me some basic information about them or tell me where to find some good starter info on them?
I mostly would like to...
I'm trying to redo all my enclosures, now that I've learned so much on this site. I've been reading a lot about using CHE bulbs in them, but I can't for the life of me figure out what CHE means! Could someone explain it to the dummy here? :P
Thanks!!!
Hey everyone!
I was wondering if someone could confirm the sex of my Russian and maybe identify its subspecies.
I think it's a male because his tail is so chubby and long?
And I think I narrowed down the subspecies as either T.h.horsfieldii
or T.h.kazachstanica. I read the post on...
Hey everyone!
I was wondering if someone could confirm what kind of tort I have. When I brought her home I was told she was a Greek, but I just am realizing how unreliable previous owners can be, and just had my first experience with Greeks and Hermanns looking so similar. I have attached...
Hi everyone! I posted earlier today to get some help with an ID, and Hermann's was decided on. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me if it is hermanni or boettgeri. I have attached some more pictures of her.
Thanks!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this tort. My friend just had it come in to her care, and we can't figure out if it is a Greek tortoise or not. She was told it was a Hermann's, but since they look so similar we wanted to check with more knowledgable keepers to find out...
