Last Spring a devastating thing happened to me and my family of turtles. I went down to see my turtles, and since they just came up from hibernation, wanted to make sure everyone was OK. The turtle garden was a mess, plants stepped on and crushed, and the little pond was muddy. Since none of...
If this isn't the right place to post this, just delete it. It doesn't matter......just felt the need to ramble on.....
Every now and then I wake up and want to live again. Then, sometimes the sleepless nights come and I can't breathe. Does it ever end? It's just a part of who I am now, but...
The nights are cool now, in the low 60's so the turtles aren't eating as much. Tomorrow I'll go find some leaf litter in the wood to set up the hibernation cave. The only flowers that haven't bloomed are the mums...probably next week so I'll take more pictures then.
This is the only frog that...
Does anyone know a good, trustable breeder for a Chinese Box Turtle?

Apparently I have " insufficient privileges" to post in the section for news articles, whatever that means. Anyway, saw this and thought it was interesting

It's been raining here for two days and finally some sun, so I thought I'd take some pictures as most of the turtles were out. Some of the flowers are starting to come up.
I don't seem to get on here much lately, but here are some recent pictures of the turtles and Solo. The flowers haven't come up yet, so it's not as pretty as it will be in the mid Summer.
Here's Solo, so happy to be outside again. (don't remember if I posted these or not...sorry if I did.)...
I'm so excited. The pigs were born today. She had 6. One was born dead. There is a little runt that isn't eating and we have to feed it with a bottle. I don't know if this is the way to post a video, but I'll try.

This is a very sad thread for me. I can't come on here much because my husband is very sick and takes up a lot of my time. Winter is coming and it's almost time for me to bring in Solo and Pio. Solo is still young and really doesn't seem to care if he is inside or outside, as long as he gets...
Hope this is the right place for this...if not, please put it where it belongs. Some pictures today in the box turtle garden....last one's before hibernation begins. This is my son's camera and I don't know how to change any settings.....so.....pictures aren't too good. Sorry.
This is...
This is the first Summer that Pio and Solo are together outside in the Tortoise garden. I moved the front of the hide because I couldn't find them, and wanted to see what they were doing.
Pio is very sweet and placid, and Solo is more aggressive, especially when there is food around...
Does anyone know how to up-load photo's on the new photo bucket? I hate this new pb. Is there another site to upload photo's so I can put then on a thread? I am really frustrated now.
There is a pond where I live and this Spring, a big mama Snapping turtle came out of the pond and laid her eggs in the yard. We put them in a tub, and now they started to hatch. Only two so far have hatched, and there are 6 eggs, so hopefully the other 4 will be hatching soon. After the yolk...
Today's food....venison, sweet potato's and strawberries.
A favorite treat for everyone. If Pio was a cat or dog, she'd be licking the plate, but she eats every drop.
Solo finished hers too.
The turtles love it too, although most of them didn't come out today...
Today was so warm, so everyone was up. Chewy went for a swim, trying to catch a goldfish. It was very comical to watch her underwater wating for one to pass by. Who said box turtles can't swim!
I didn't catch any!
Some ground venison for Chewy, since she didn't catch any fish...
