I've had to move and at my old house, I had my RES in an pond I had dug. Over the last month or so, I've had to keep her is a wading pool, and she wasn't basking as much as she used to. Now I've gotten her into a 300 gallon stock tank, and I noticed she is basking quite a bit, but her skin is a...

I have 2 adult female RES that for the last few years have lived in a pond I dug. When egg-laying time came, they crawled out and found a spot for their nest. Now, however, I have to move, and their home will be a stock tank. I'm wondering how those of you who keep above-ground "ponds" provide...

I am a substitute teacher, and today, after a student found out I have torts, she asked if I would take their juvenile redfoot. I resisted the temptation. The two I have are enough, but I thought maybe I could help find a home through the forum. I will be seeing her tomorrow, so I'll get info to...

I just acquired two new CDT, and I was saddened to see the shells, since I have one, Hibiscus, the same size, who I have raised from a hatchling and it's shell is smooth--unmarred. However, Dr. Greek was surprised and very complementary of Hibiscus, saying the condition of the new CDL's is more...
