Hi guys, Just wondering how to clean Trinity. Her shell is very dry, and dusty. I know to use a toothbrush, and be gentle, could I use something? Like either baby soap or 100% natural soap? I have to get her a toothbrush, and the babies. But the babies shells are in really great shape. :) I'm...

Hi guys, So this is my new tortoise, I saw him online, and I felt so bad for him, that I went and got him the next day. He's 7.5 x 5 inches, and they had him in a tiny enclosure. I'm guessing from all the help on a different thread his about 4 or five years old. He is wonderful, and very...

Hi guys. I took some better pics. Just for everyone to get a good look. I think they're doing pretty good however Rudy is opening his mouth frequently. I'm hoping it's not an respitory infection. The first one is Seraphina in the bath and trying to escape. Lol The second one is Rudy. I...
