I purchase 2 bags of 25lb Mazuri high fiber diet for my tortoise. Since then I relocated all my torts and have 1 brand new bag of Mazuri left over plus another open bag of 20lb. I wish to get $50 for everything. I live in the San Gabriel Valley 91780, I can also ship at buyers expense, I assume...

UPDATE: My little goldie is doing very well, I can see the pyramiding has gone down a bit. I soak all of them daily for about 20-30 mins and brush their shells with a toothbrush. He or she is eating like a beast..... I have never seen tort run that fast when come feeding time. Always the first...

This is what I read from my studies and research. By no mean its set in stone. Albinism is a morph which the animal can not product color pigments. It does cost some health problems due to this genetic disorder. For example the pigment of their eyes are pink which can not stay in direct sun...

Albino is 3 times more expensive then Ivory...

I never said mine were albino guys. I am 110% positive that they are Ivory. I'm just trying to take pictures of what I meant by my Ivory has pink/red eyes. I'm no expert but I done a lot of research on these babies before I decide to take them home. And yes price difference between albino and...

This is what I mean when I say my Ivory has pink eyes. To the naked eye it looks black, but hold it to the light their iris looks red/pink....

Tom, I know for a fact that they are ivorys. Just by looking at my ivory eyes they look black..... however hold them onto a light, the iris looks red or pinkish. I bought them from Tyler (Tortoise Supply), I known him for years and been following him around reptile shows.

I paid $400 for this guy..... Not too much but it wasn't cheap either.... I will soak him a few times a day for a while.... Also the picture don't show it but my Ivory hold them next the the light their eyes are dark red or pink. The new guy has jet black eyes no pink or red pigments.

I snap a few more picture of the little guy.

Should I quarantine the new guy? How long should I qt him for? I understand I should not mix species but I Had them since they were hatchlings and they all were getting along well, no signs of sickness, I do not wish to separate them. its only one baby star i mixed in there, would that cost much...

yeah I did notice the pyramiding, but that should be a easy fix. I keep my tort tank somewhere around 70% humility at all times so the new addition should smoothen his shell in a few months or so.....

I purchased a Hypo Gold Sulcata today at the reptile show. I believe this breeder is legit, he used to breed sulcata in Texas but now he is at San Diego, showed me a bunch of pictures of his Large Sulcata colony. Had this one golden hatchling out of the whole batch. Claimed that out of 20 years...

I have a bit too much Mazuri Tortoise food so I will share some with who ever needs a bit. I purchased the high fiber Mazuri LS diet for my baby torts and have some to spare. Im asking $5 per pound, that will be the lowest price I have very seen on this site. Shipping will cost $5 no matter...

I have a cave in there which is the most humid at 80%, warmest is right under my light which is about 95, my coldest side is around 80s, night temp is about 80-85 or so. I do have a basking light and a UVB coil, (which I just found that is bad for them so I ordered a UVB Fluorescent mercury...

I just came back from the reptile show with a group of Ivory trio yesterday, 2x Ivory and 1x Ivory Het. I made sure they are from different breeders to prevent from inbreeding. Would like to share some pics with everyone also with some questions. I had Leopards for a few years before I decided...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. Looking to start a trio of Sir Lanka Star tortoise. I just love the pyramid looks when they are full grown as well as the size of it. I think Indians are a bit small, I have a large back yard that I will build them a home from. Please pm me with your...
