    Cross species hello

    So my husband was taking the dog out this morning and spotted this little guy. I think he was born yesterday and got turned around and ended up outside our door rather than the brook right beside our house. Lilly even came out to say hello! After our little photo op, we put him right back next...

    Photo shoot

    I'm just bragging! My Lilly went outside to bask in the REAL sun this weekend. This is what come out of that. P. s. The dog was on a leash, not as close as she looks, and not at all interested in my RT. I know that it's frowned upon but this was their first meeting. I got my picture, and they...

    Shell Rot

    Miss Lilly's shell appears like it's lifting... Also her neck has been peeling like humans do after a sunburn. The skin isn't red and she doesn't seem like she is irritated by it... Any ideas?

    Clear edges of her shell...

    Full recovery

    Ok... She's DEFINATELY back!! As some of you will recall, we almost lost our Miss Lilly (RT) a few weeks back, due to lights that were bad (they were the right lights, but malfunctioning). Well, she is better than ever. To watch her now you would never know she was on deaths door. She is...

    Almost lost her...

    The MVB was only a month or two... That's why we never suspected it.

    Almost lost her...

    The issues all started when I changed her bedding to the coca coir... As some of you will remember, I called it evil... It was sticking to everything and had even gotten into her eye. That's when the issues started. She wouldn't open her eye and was eating like she was before. She was getting...

    Almost lost her...

    We almost lost Lilly... Two trips to the vet, she hadn't eaten in weeks. Nothing on the X-rays, nothing in her stool. On paper she was fine, but she wasn't eating. At all. As a last ditch effort we changed out her lights, and BAM... She's eating like it's her job!! I'm super happy! I...

    She stopped eating...

    Sorry.. She is a RT she is roughly 14 years old. All temps are optimal but I have been having trouble with humidity. She gets a soak every other day. She has a MVB AND A CERAMIC HEATER.

    I've created a monster...

    When Miss Lilly came home, she was shy and timid. She wouldn't eat if I were watching, and ignores her water dish like it was a Petri dish for tortoise plague. So you can imagine my excitement when she took her first bite of Romain FROM MY HANDS!! However... Now she won't start her meal...
