Crows seems to be very clever, I don't think they get enough attention from researchers.
I buy these seed bricks and put them in a grated box and hang it from a tree, the little birds love to peck at it and get their fill. I have watched what I believe to be the same crow use a nail to break...
Who's going to be the first to get a tortoise or turtle tattoo?
I've been brain storming some tortoise designs, I want to put my RT on my thumb, but I think that would be too much detail for such a small area, if I do it will end up being just a typical tortoise in a tribal design chilling on...
I think the iPhone is a great tool, but only while Apple 100% supports it, once they have a new product come along they ever so slowly sabotage the older versions.
iOS4 has all bout slowed my 3G phone to a crawl, apps that once opened in half a second take 5-10, texting and scrolling can...
+1 on the crate training, I made my dogs crate into a happy place since day 1, I never used it for scolding but I did use it to limit her roaming while potty training.
These days she uses that crate for everything that involves comfort, she takes all her treats there, she chews all her bones...
Awesome to see some people are still carrying revolvers, I've always been a huge fan of revolvers and I've found them more comfortable to not only to handle but to wear IWB.
I currently carry a SP101 2 1/4" with Hornady XTP 158g, built like a tank! The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the...
I know all about them as far as books and forums can go, I just don't have personal experience.
When I referred to puppies, I just meant the Tegus were tame and weren't threatened by the man, I didn't actually mean I expected a reptile to act like a puppy.
My herp background is mostly small...
Very nice looking animals! How has it been caring for the Iguana? As it's a beautiful creature.
I have wanted to get a large lizard for over a decade but they seem quite difficult to care for, and their space requires are massive. Not that tortoises don't require large spaces, but most species...
Hey, I'm curious if there's a fix for viewing the forum on the iPhone, it all started the day the new servers were announced.
I can get to the main page, but when I press forums I get the error
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /iphone/ on this server.
Additionally, a...
Well, I am now on my third habitat in only a few weeks of caring for a Russian Tortoise. Due to ridiculous reasons I had to give back that pond liner tub I was given(lets just say, the mans' angry wife was supposedly going to use it, after it sat for close to a decade, ROFL. But his son is like...
And that's how wild caught tortoises come into our care here in the U.S!
But really, I'm SURE some of us here on this forum care for tortoises that were shipped in a sardine can way. I once saw a picture of mainly Russians in a somewhat large wooden crate, there had to be hundreds of them piled...
I've been trying to concoct a way to have 2 or 3 hides while maximizing walking space, a little bit of climbing, and not cramped food and water areas.
I tried what you said about putting the lamp in the middle. The cool burrow on the far left is still in the 70's because it's so low, the...
I'm nervous to add plants, last thing I want is a tortoise with some plastic in it's belly.
I'm not sure where to get a piece of slate that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, in the summer I see pieces of slate at lawn and garden stores and 2 home depots and 1 lowes the only thing they offer right...
I've only had this little bugger about a week and he's already moved into a larger and more suitable enclosure. I was telling a buddy of mine and his father about my RT and tortoises in general, long story short his father went out to the shed and came back with this 60ish gallon pond liner he...
Oh man, I am extremely disappointed after reading this thread. I had a Solar Glo blow on me this morning so I bought a Megaray just this morning after reading rave reviews, so now I'm without UVB until this evening, I had planned to use a strip UVB and a basking bulb I all ready had until the...
Woot! Ice storm day off!
However, a bad morning as well. About an hour after the timer for the Solar Glow went on, the bulb blew, white bright light came and BOOM gone.
So I'm returning it to the store later this evening as that's certainly not acceptable.
Earthyman, I noticed you said I...
I've an update.
I'm getting a piece of slate tomorrow from work, bought a water bowel/ramp from Amazon AND I cut the middle of the lid and put it on. I'll tell you, using no saw horses and a jigsaw with an incorrect blade is an amazing experience, I highly suggest no one try it, haah! I used...
