I know. Don't ya love these threads. :P I have asked in the past and I have always gotten numerous responses of I have a male and female or two males or two females. Next month I would have had them for 3 years. Their carapace is about 8 1/2 inches. Once one comes up for sale that I can find I...
Hey there again. So question about the hovabator incubator. I have the model 1602N. Just have the base model. Not with a fan. The base model is what I read about that seemed like most people had so I went with it. Any ways so there is a number of vent holes around the bottom edges of it. I have...
Hey there all. So I have posted here once before. I mainly lurk over in the red foot forums. I have had a male sulcata for 20+ years probably. This past January a friend of mine gave me one of his female sulcatas. My friend had his females separated from his males for the winter but all during...
Hey there. I've only posted in the redfoot threads but here I am with a question. A little back story. I have had a big male for about 25 years now. Used to have two but one passed of unknown causes many years ago. So I'm up in Virginia and have my big male inside the house over the winter...
Hey there. Haven't posted in a while. Just curious on every one's thoughts in reference to the temperature getting down to the mid to upper 60's over night when it's in the 80's during the day, but it has also been raining on a regular basis so the outside enclosure has not been able to dry out...
So for those of us that live to the north. At what temperature do ya'll bring your redfoots indoors? The other day it rained here for about 24 hours and so it stayed in the 60's. I went ahead and brought them inside since it was cool and wet. Which I always go on the side of caution since those...
Hello all. So I recently have built a enclosure in my backyard. It's still not finished but it's getting closer. I will have 4 Cherryhead Tortoises in there. All for are about 6 inches down their carapace. I live in Va so it gets cold in the winter and hot and humid during the summer. I'll keep...
So the bottom two are my original two their both 6 inches. The top two are my new ones. Some one about two hours away was selling them for half of what I got my first two for. The two new ones appear to be about 4 and a half and five inches. The two new ones are a bit more bumpy than I would...
Hey there all. My two cherry heads are between 6 inches and 6 1/2 inches carapace length. I know still early. Their looking male to me but my wife has been bugging me about wanting to know what they might be. So I figured I would come ask the experts in what ya'll have to say at the moment. :)...
Hello there. I've only posted a couple times but I read what ever I can. I was just curious if any one has watched his videos? How knowledgable he is? He talks about some stuff that I haven't seen very much on other sites and it looks very well done but I wanted to see what ya'll thought since I...
Was turning the mulch this evening in my tortoise pen and one of my tortoises came out of his hide box to see what was going on. So I turned him out in the yard and let him roam around. I went to go get him and found that he made a new friend in my tall grass up close to the house. haha
Hey there all. Tiny bit of background first. I've been into turtles and tortoises my entire life. My family ran a small zoo and over the years while growing up all the animal people my parents knew gave me various turtles and tortoises. Fast forward my parents retired and the zoo is now owned...
