Hi Everyone! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve logged on here. I’m sheltering in place in NYC here and I thought of you all when I turned on Netflix just now and saw Eric Goode and Tom Crutchfield in the opening scene. I thought for sure there would have been a post about this series. Maybe...

Recently, I bought some Opuntia ficus-indica rooted plants started in pots at a local farmer's market here in NY (6 rooted pads total) I then went online and purchased some Opuntia cacanapa ellisiana pads (not yet rooted nor planted, 10 pads). When I received them their bases at which they had...

Almost every time I buy opuntia pads for my tortoises, some of them go bad by the time I get to using them. Being in NY, they are not in their native environment and I find they just don't keep well for that long. Some other members talk about keeping pads in their garage for weeks or even...

I went to the Museum of Natural History today and saw him on display. The lighting was a bit disappointing, although understandable that it may be for preservation reasons. Being on display in a glass box though, you'd think they might set it up some way that the glare wouldn't be so horrible...

So we have heard great things about smooth growth and healthy hydration when there is high humidity in the young tortoise's enclosure... However, recently, wasn't there a discussion about tortoises that were raised using a "dryer" method and then being introduced to the "wet/humid" method...

Thinking of getting a corn snake off craigslist and wondering which of these I should get. I'm interested in one that has as dark red coloration as possible. I google and youtube the morphs and get tons of different looking results...help!

Finally arrived at 6:13 PM instead of by 10:30AM. As I suspected, it came with the humidifier, so someone grouped them, not realizing if anything the humidifier should have been bumped up and delivered early rather than the "next day air" tortoise have to wait the whole day to be delivered...

One of them will be this... A warm/cool mist humidifier...can you guess what the other thing might be? I'll be setting it up similarly to this... I'm getting one of these! From Arizona Tortoise Compound :) Will have pic update as soon as I open the box tomorrow!

Look what I found looking through the deal-a-day sites I have bookmarked. I just ordered one, and at checkout put in coupon code "FreeYugBuck" for $1 off. *I'm not promoting them, associated with the site or anything, just sharing what I found. I've ordered things from them before and got...

I've been looking into getting a lizard...and am seriously considering a Uromastyx...I've narrowed it to Ornate, Egyptian or Mali due mostly to availability. Open to opinions on differences between the species. I am aware that the Egyptian can grow to be larger than the others. Does...

I've used creams with Clotrimazole 1% as the active ingredient with success in a matter of days or a week or so. I recently noticed a little bit of plastron fungal infection and didn't have any creams handy so I took some cream with Miconazole nitrate 2% home from work and have been using it...

I'm looking into picking up a 5000 model for $80 locally. Worth it? I have a basic Hovabator model now...Please share your knowledge and opinions based on experience or what you've heard about them.

My largest female laid 5 eggs. 4 were buried and 1 was on top of the substrate, which my mom and sister noticed. As I was searching for others after finding the first one I found one had cracked and was rotting and one I broke by accident. 3 are in the hovabator but its still warming up. I...

I use the app on my Galaxy Nexus phone and when I click to 'load more threads' under the 'current' tab it never really works unless I click refresh after that as well. I click "Load more threads" and it says "An invalid search was specified. Please go back and try again." So then I hit refresh...

Just moved some of my Russians to one of the new deeper kiddie pools... went out to check on them today as it's getting cooler (moved redfoot back inside today) and saw my largest female digging a hole about as deep as the length of her body. I'm not sure if she was just burrowing or...

I'm finally getting around to building this permanent outdoor enclosure. Until now, Mike (the sulcata) has been grazing the backyard during the day while being watched and left out in a little makeshift pen. However, it's about time I do this for him. On the side of the house there's an empty...
