To radiated, im sorry i cannot send a picture, the redness went away

Thats fair enough Tom, i dont mind getting advice and taking it on however Its the way it was said, unlike the way you said it, i didnt take offence.after all its only natural to get defensive over your loved pets. what im being told exactly is that the ( forgive me for not using the...

it wasnt because he was " growing" it was because he was over growing to the point when under the shell was red, this specialist has had over 20 years experiance as a reptile specialist and yes she has raised tortoises before. what do u mean by"Do they look like you want yours to look?"

Is it normal for a leopard tortoise to " click" while it breaths? Went to the vets a couple of weeks ago for xrays ect and she said everything was ok besides the fact hes a little of weight

Ivy is the one on the right hiding herself a wee bit Squirtles on the left hes a big proud boy lol hes always ready to pose lol :) We dont know how the tumour occured but the vets believe that she may have been born with it, and because shes a reptile its took a while for any signs to appear...

hello, Sadly this is Ivys last update as on Tuesday 10th of April Ivy past away :(. It was a hard decision to make to have her put to sleep and was heartbreaking but the best for her as she was struggling to walk, not eating alot and the tumour was pushing out her shell :( it was not fair to...

same, i think the shell is very nice no need for concern

hey aldabraman just wondered if you had any tips to get my leo to eat hay, he just seems to dis own that along with alot of other food thats good for him

its a funny question this and a dam gd one too, took my leo one day to start eating ( and wont stop now) hes like a boulder lol guess it just comes down to the tortoises personality

in my opinion i dont think you can over feed a tortoise lol they need alot of food, it requires them alot of energy to move that house about :P

ok guys im interested in buying another leo, im wanting a female do these look male to you or is it just me?[hr] why do ppl view but not comment wtf !! lol
