So I recently acquired a Box Turtle that got hit by a car. She's in good shape and everything don't worry, she's doing a lot better! BUT today I found 2 eggs in her enclosure...I don't have an incubator or anything I am completely unprepared!! What do I do??

Yup. This is real. This isn't a dream. Oh my gosh the babies!!

The past week my tortoises went through something very awful but unavoidable...a 20 hour move to North Carolina. I was terrified. I babied them even though they were in small uncomfortable boxes I feared the worst. Today....we're in our new home!!! And to make it even better I found out there's...

She fought a hard battle my girl. But today her battle has ended. I know she's in a better place now where her kidneys aren't defective. Rest in peace Cupcake.

If anyone recalls, a long while back I posted about the death of my tortoise. Getting a necropsy done I found out that he had a hereditary kidney disease. There was little to nothing I could do to stop it in time. This led me to worry about the other tortoise I got from the same herd. Today, I...

Today, my 3 year old red foot died. Many tears shed as I bury him next to an angel statue. I have no idea how he died....

Finally coming home.

India is going on her first outdoor adventure! She's loving running around!! Very quick.

Alright so today I did my 3rd ever rescue!! It's a tiny little box turtle (eastern I think) and right now he doesn't have much because it was very last minute but I've done what I can. Last night he was left in the 25 degree weather outside until morning in front of a pet store. Naturally I HAD...

Not like actually name...I mean maybe. The basic gist: the woman wasn't taking care of the tort. Bottom line: I don't know species. She said Russian. But I've been misled about Russians before. And I know I'll mother her better than the lady will. The tort has been in her BASEMENT for 6 years...

With a warm end of 84 during the day with a basking spot of 88-91 (depending on time) and a humidity of 77% and a cool end of 75 with humidity at 52% I've finally gotten my tort table almost exactly where I need it to be...and that's without plants to add to the humidity! Glad I'm finally...

So I looked on other parts of the website and found that torts do shed, but I just wanted to make sure that's what I'm actually seeing. It's those white parts. It's hard to get a good picture. There's also a bit on his legs but otherwise he seems healthy and happy

Alright kinda two different questions here. I've heard of people putting fake plants in their enclosure to add to hiding. Is this safe? Won't the tortoises try to eat it? Also, when I put a live plant in the tortoise table, can I just put the whole pot down and slightly burry it or will the...

My friend just got this beautiful gentle Russian but sadly the previous owners didn't know exactly how to take care of him. His beak is sadly overgrown. What are some tips to slowly getting it back to the normal proper length?

got my babies an early Holiday present! These nice full spider plants won't be nice and full when I put them in hehe :D hoping they don't eat it all in one night

Ok don't panic...don't panic....panic... While getting dressed I noticed my tortoise with her mouth open like she was yawning...except water started coming out...and then grapes from yesterday's dinner...and then a little bit of Apple also from yesterday ....now I began to worry... What do I...
