    Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises

    For sale is a pair of Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises approximately 7+ inches in length, heavy and solid, eating very well. I'm trying to reduce the variety of torts I have and work more with leopards. I would consider possible trades for a M+F pair of leopards with cash going either way...

    Leopard Rescue

    I purchased (I call it a rescue, since the poor guy is in bad shape) a leopard last night off Kijiji (Canadian version of Craigslist). For $250 (she was asking $300) I got a tort that is pyramiding, low weight, feeling hollow, poorly fed, poorly housed, walked on nothing but clay tiles in her...

    Introducing two of my Ems!

    I received these two emys a few days ago. They are settling in nicely, eating and exploring their new enclosure. When they get more familiar with me and eating is down pat I'll take them outside to enjoy our humid summer. Another great species of tort to work with! Love them!

    Keeping 2 Brown Burmese Mountain Torts?

    I have an opportunity to purchase 2 remaining brown torts. I know it's usually good practice to keep just 1 or get 3 or more. How are their personalities? Are they territorial as hatchlings and get worse as they get older? Thanks for any advice!

    Thoughts of keeping Asian Brown with Star tortoise?

    I was at the zoo today and I was surprised to see adult Asian Browns and Burmese Stars in the same habitat. Are they from similar regions where it's safe to do this?

    Introducing my new star!

    Picked her up yesterday, incubated to be a female so we shall see in a few years! Raising her in a closed chamber so it's got and humid inside with frequent warm sprays. She's just enjoying some cactus pads this morning. She's really active, ate right away and I think she's settling down...

    Opportunity to get a Greek tort...Should I?

    Just want to throw it or there for those with experience with medteranian torts, especially those who keep Greeks. Are they personable, fairly easy to keep? I'll keep him in a 50 gal tub for the winter and he'll be outside for the spring summer and fall. I never considered them but now I...

    Meet the new kid!

    I picked him up today from the breeder and he's beautiful. Love his high domed shell. Gave him a soak and I placed him in his new home. He's so tiny I can't believe how big he'll grow up to be. I had to rearrange his enclosure because the ceramic water and food saucers were way to big I was...

    Background info and your opinions?

    I was wondering if I could get some opinions on my most recent boxie. Purchased her off Kijiji and was told by the owner she got her from a pet store, she's had her for 3 months, and needs to sell her because she's returning to Asia and its too much in the way of paperwork (CITES) to take her...
