    LED lighting?

    With winter fast on its way I will be needing some extra UV for the torts. I was wondering if there have been any incredible breakthroughs in LED lighting for reptiles. I know they have been growing plants for a while now but I was wondering if anything has crossed over. Thanks for the info...

    What tree leaves?

    Don't know what it is but my Aldabs love to eat dry tree leaves. They will pick them over green ones and sometimes they will pick them over fresh lettuce. With fall fast approaching I was wondering what leaves are safe for them to eat. Or if there are any they shouldn't. Thanks for the input Chip

    New Ablabra Pen

    Well I moved to a house that has a yard now so I had to section off an area for the torts. I wanted to do something other the cinder blocks so I tried out PVC fence boards. Seemed to work out well. If they do give me any trouble I can always sink in some rebar to anchor it down. Seems to keep...

I was wondering about Pine Straw. http://www.pinestrawdirect.com/ I live in South Carolina and it is a very popular mulch for homes. I am about to move to a new house that has pine straw in some of the area where I...

    For the last few days its been getting chilly for South Carolina. Down to the 20s at nite. Before I moved here I wondered how my aldabs would deal with the temps. It seems as long as they have a warm hide to heat up in over nite they are happy to come out for some sun during the day. not a...

    So you think your tort pees a lot?

    After tossing out a head of red leaf lettuce I checked on my Aldabras and looks like one sprung a leak. Then you should have seen the present he left me in that spot later on.

    trimming the lawn

    No really this isn't a cute thing about a tort eating the grass. ;) I am used to dealing with St Augustine Sod. I have recently moved to a colder climate where it goes dormant. I have planted some Rye seed and it is coming in nicely. I need to know when I can cut it. I would...

    Overweight Tort? What to look for

    I was wondering what to look for as a marker for an overweight tortoise. I am pretty sure I have read here that "puffy" legs are not a good thing but I want to know how much to too much. I don't think my torts have a problem I just wanted to know what to look out for. I mean If I gain a little...

    Stand up for a good scratch

    Today was the first time that my Aldabs reacted positively to a scratch on the leg. Up until now if they let me get close enough to touch them they would just slowly walk away. Today when I was giving them their weekly Mazuri they both stood up as I gave them a rub on the back leg. It was great...
