Hi everyone! It's been awhile since i last posted anything here. Good to be back! My adult radiated tortoise (presumably female) 34cm (13,5") is mature enough to lay eggs, i dont have any males yet, my question is: shouldn't she be laying eggs even without males around? infertile eggs, just...

Settling in very nicely, not so shy anymore Enjoying his pond

Been keeping him/her since feb 14. Growing quite a lot in 1 year He's pyramided eversince i bought him but im hoping to see him smoothen as he grows. He lives full outdoor now with exceptions for very heavy rainfalls.

Hi all! Im planning to get a pair of baby GPP soon. Is the care sheet different with babcocki? How fast do they grow in optimum growth rate? Im confused with closed chamber method. No one seems to be using it here in indonesia. Is it because most of you live in northern hemisphere of the...

Hi all. Im quite new to caring for dbt and it seems that my baby dbt develop rash or something. Can you please tell me what is it in its carapace? Like white fungus? He developed this a day after i introduce kachuga tecta to his pond.

Added Cuora Galbinifrons Galbinifrons to the reptile family few days ago. Here's his outdoor enclosure. Any comments are welcomed. Maybe you'd like to share your experience too with the species :)

hi guys please allow me to share my newly arrived pyxis arachnoides arachnoides. It's so accustomed to eat only hibiscus that it actually rejects anything else that's not red color. His nature is very calm just like normal Paa. Lol. Please do share your experience with pyxis, anything...

Hi guys, Im thinking to add pyxis arach to my collections. I wonder is it difficult to keep or is it relatively similar to radiated's care sheet?

Havent got the time to weighing them. I'll do it later in the weekend. :)

Hi guys! I have questions to ask about DBT. Is DBT such a hardy species to keep? I heard that you have to use brackish water so that it doesnt get any fungal infection. Is it true? Im offered a baby DBT and im considering it. Thanks peeps!

Hi all! I just want to share findings with the radiateds. I have an outdoor pen (pic attached) that i use to put my radiateds during sunny days. But then i start to realise that even when they are out in the pen, they dont seem to be active much. And then, i put them outside their pen into the...

Yesterday i received a new radiated and today i received a baby aldabra. I finally realised why people are so obsessed with aldabras! Lol

Hi all! I want to ask about quarantine. How long do you normally quarantine your new tortoise before introducing it to the existing group?? Also, i know that tortoises of different species shouldnt be kept in one enclosure, therefore if an X species' enclosure is put next to an Y species'...

Was thinking to post her tomorrow morning but hey i cant stand to post her now. Tadaa! Please introduce my newest family member! A female radiated with very bulbous carapace, yellow head, and nice markings. So happy that i got her. I'll post more of her tomorrow!! :)

Just to share my experience. As i walk through Hong Kong's Goldfish Market i saw these tortoises and turtles were being sold. They were put into small aquariums and barely able to walk (for large tortoises). In one of the picture you can see there's actually 3 aldabras on a very small aquarium...

Hi guys, im so happy to receive this little guy yesterday. Got it for quite a good price. Anyway I want to ask your opinions regarding its plastron as you can see on the last picture. It looks like folded. My other radiateds' plastrons are all straight and smooth. Is it abnormalities or sign of...

Hi guys, I have question about platynota. 2 weeks ago i acquired a platynota, he doesn't have any problem in eating. but he is not very active and also he always goes to sheltered area whenever I put him outdoor. Or inside his torto table, he always goes inside the "cave". Is it normal? Thanks...

Hi guys! I just want to share my juvenile radiateds, today is sunny and hot, perfect for radiateds sunny day out. They are amazing species to work with, best by far :D

Hi all, i got question to ask you here, my radiated hasnt pooed in 2 days and i got this weird mucus-like "droppings" today in his torto table. He eats alot and doesnt seem to have illness, does this normal? I might be too paranoid but better to ask you radiated experts than clouded in uncertainty.

Hi all, im relatively new here, have been looking for guidance about tortoises and i found it the information you all share is very helpful. Im confused regarding the humidity for pardalis. I know i've read here that people keep them in a 80% humidity but care sheets from many websites say...
