Hey folks, I'll be adding a new member to my family :) I found this little tortoise up for adoption on craigslist in the Detroit Area (I'm in Cleveland). The current owner isn't able to keep him because she knows how demanding the tortoise will be in the future. She says he's about a year old...

Hello folks! I'm seriously considering adopting a young sulcata tortoise from someone nearby and was wondering if the T-Rex 100 watt bulb would be sufficient? I know they require higher temps than other torts, but not sure if the 100w or the 160w would be required. Thank you in advance :)

Hey all, my Hermann's hatchling has been making a "sneezing/hiccuping" sound. The nostrils are completely clear and this just started a few minutes ago. It sounds almost like a squeaking sound, so I went over and watched her and when she made it, she retracted her head back a bit then was...

I have several extra pieces of Cuttlebone if anyone would be interested in buying one. Cuttlebone is calcium that can be placed inside the enclosure so your tortoise can aquire extra calcium if needed. PM me for details. Thanks! Jason

Baron, my 5 month old male Veiled Chameleon :) He is very camera shy and always moves to hide when I open up his cage. Though the photo doesn't show it very strongly, tints of yellow are beginning to come through in his colouring. Baron consumes crickets but now loves Dubia Roaches...

Found this from a guy named RedoFootMan on kingsnake. He is local and only about 45 minutes away. Selling them for $200 a piece for pick-up. Is that a Sulcata in the middle? if so, is it just a different type of coloring for the shell? Thanks!

So I browse craigslist all the time and I found an add about tortoises. I emailed the person and they're african-spurred tortoises (sulcata) and about a year old. Of course, this guy doesn't have pictures or isn't able to take them. Selling them for $75 a piece. His email: "almost a year...

1.) Do Tortoises yawn? Tori, my hatchling, has yawned. I hope that is normal. 2.) Tori hasn't pooped (that I've noticed). I've soaked her twice in warm water but nothing. She has been eating a lot and drinking when I soak her, but still no poop. Should I be concerned?

Along with the three threads in the Classifieds board, would it be possible to have a forth one dealing with Breeders/Experiences? It would be a thread for us to leave feedback about breeders/companies/et al so other forum members could read our comments before making a deal with someone...

Maybe I'm paranoid. When I was soaking Tori, she would bob her head down into the water and drink. When she brought her head up to breath, I heard a small sound: wouldn't say its cracking but more like a popping? Could it be the water clogging up her nostrils and just popping the bubbles to...

Tortoise in a box? Hmmm Suprise! Here I am! Tori the tortoise!

Hey everyone. I bought a T-Rex 100w bulb (heat/uvb) and put onto my Hermann. In the cage, the temp on the basking side is about 105 degrees, with the cooler end close to 78 degrees. Is there a way to reduce the temp of the basking spot? Raise the fixture so it is higher up? Will that...

Coco-Brick thoroughly mixed with Play sand, say 60%/40%? Would that work for a hatchling? I'll be getting one on Tuesday, but I don't want the sand to impact him. Perhaps newspaper would work? Thanks!

Are there any websites that weeds/flowers/grasses that Tortoises can eat? Or possibly even the weeds for these plants? Thanks!

Can they live together if close to the same age/size/weight?
