This is what the kitten did over the weekend. We went out of town and even though a neighbor was willing to watch him, he didn't watch the kitten close enough since this is what I came home to. Hopefully it comes out in the pictures.
I'm guessing the kitten tried to jump into the...
Last night I decided it would be a good idea to check my hygrometers and thermometers and make sure they were all on the same page still. I am very surprised to find out that they were not. I left a digital hygro/thermometer out next to an analog hygrometer and an analog thermometer. My...
Anyone ever kept them? How easy/hard are they to keep? I saw a display about a week ago at a petstore it was one of the coolest things ever. That store always has such beautiful displays. I didn't realize how vibrant the colors actually were. From what I've read captive raised frogs don't...

Doesn't really seem fair to house anything in something that is only a 2x4 width. Obviously not tortoises, but what in the world could you house in one of these?
Where'd it come from? Does it need updating? I just read that it says it's a "rough" form, so is anyone working on finished form?
Also, I just gotta ask, exoticsdr, are you on there? If not, that list just lost some credibility in my eyes.
"should" is probably too strong a word, but why aren't we feeding more of these "low-nutrient" foods? A lot of these "low nutrient" foods keep getting a bad rap in my opinion. Cucumbers being one of them and dare I say iceberg lettuce being another (the lettuce who shall not be named :P)...

The shell doesn't seem to be a normal round shape to me, but I've got no experience with YFs.
I bought this at Ikea last night and want to use it as a hide for my hatchling. Do I need to do anything special to it to clean it?
Also, I want to put some fake leafs on the front to make it more "cave-like" of a hide. I was thinking of using hot glue, but is there a better way to attach...
Last week I had this brilliant idea. A couple months back I got a free Ikea-type (I think it's actually the walmart brand technically...) coffee table that someone had tried to turn into a piano bench, failed, and just given away. You can see the holes they put into it on the top there. I've...
I've noticed a lot of newer tort keepers always ask "how old is my tortoise?". My question is "why does that matter?". Torts live for so long and it's not like a dog or a gerbil that'll be dying on you soon if they're already 10. Age just seems so unimportant to me in tortoise keeping. Plus...
Just because.
Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar.
One says, “I think I’ve lost an electron.â€Â
The other says, “Are you sure?â€Â
The first replies, “Yes, I’m positive…â€Â
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re...
Well, it's a very very broad question that will differ by species but...
Just for fun. In your opinion, what is the most ideal spot in America for tortoise-keeping? and Why?
Conversely, what's the worst?

They say several times that they're more interested in finding him a good home than making money. That + the fact that they found "him" for free makes me think that if you could prove you're a good home you could maybe...
So this is something I've been thinking about for a little while. Of course the answer that we've been hashing over and over again to people when they feel guilty for having just one tort is "don't worry, they are perfectly happy living alone". I don't have a problem with that and agree that a...
Hey, I've noticed that every time I post a new thread I have about 3 views instantly. I hit the "post" button and then immediately hit "view new posts" and my thread is on the top, but it always has about 3 views.
I'm assuming these aren't real since it's pretty unlikely that every time I...
Quick question, how big are your hatchlings when you finally decide to let them be unsupervised with juveniles and adults? I'm assuming this is size-based, though I'm equally interested if people have an age at which they move their torts up to the "big boy table" with the rest of the herd...
I just love it when my Kiwi shoves her entire head into her drinking water and sits there for a minute drinking. First time I saw it I thought she must be trying to drown herself :) I almost got a picture of it just now, but I spooked her when I got the camera out.
What's your favorite tort...
