A friend of mine got a baby sully on July 10th from Eric at South Central Herpetological. He has multiple hides, coco fiber bedding and moss. His temps are good and he gets soaked everyday. For the past 2 days he has not eaten and will not open his eyes. The only way he opens his eyes is if she...

Our oldest dog loves to carry things around in his mouth. When he was a puppy he would actually take try to take his blanket out on walks with us. On occasion when he got it out the door he would ball it up to carry it up and down the stairs and if it started to drag he would stop and readjust...

Well after getting our leopard geckos, I of course joined a leopard gecko forum. I have been looking and reading through every part of the forum. In the breeding section is where I start to have problems. Everyone on the forum rants and raves about not breeding your geckos if you do not know the...

Earlier today country music singer Blake Shelton tweeted this.... "Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn't just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one..." People asked him if it was a bad joke, he responded with rude comments about them...

Meet our newest family members, 6 leopard geckos. 2 are adults, 2 juvies, and 2 babies. I know the morphs of some but am still trying to figure out the others, if anyone here knows them please let me know! :) 1. Daphine - I believe she is an albino (adult) 2. Dario - I believe a high...

I have been wondering about how sensitive tortoise's respiratory tracts are. We have wildfires every year that cause our backyard to become smoke filled. When this happens I always bring the tortoises in for fear that it will cause a respiratory issue. Do I need to worry about this, are they low...

For those of you who keep your tortoises outside with natural graze, how often do you supplement with other greens/veggies/etc?

About a year ago Wok was chewed on by our dog. He was in very rough shape, he had a lot of shell damage and exposed lung. Today Wok is back outside with the rest of his herd, acting like nothing every happened! Here are some pics taken today, also the original thread is below. This is where...

Abou a month and a half two months agowe adopted a FL box turtle. A lady rescued it from the road, she said it was dehydrated and lethargic. She had it for about a week or two once it seemed better she tried to sell it for 150. I talked with her and she have it too, I was concerned with...

I haven't been on in a while. Things had gotten busy with working full time and going to grad school full time. Hopefully I will be on more now. Last week we adopted a 1.5 year old sully, is name is Norman!

My grandma gave us a cutting of a maple leaf hibiscus plant. This thing grows like a weed and is super easy to root from cuttings. Since it is a type of hibiscus is it safe for the torts? Thank! :-) http://www.backyardgarden.info/mapleleafhibiscus.php

Can anyone identify this turtle? I got this pic from a friend in Georgia. I am waiting to see if they have better pics of it. Thanks so much!

There is a chance our dog got a hold of a Cuban tree frog that was in the yard. Tonight he was sleeping and it looked like he was dreaming, but would not wake up from it. When he did he was drooling excessively and started to growl if we went near him. Within about 5-10 minutes he is doing...

Roll has made himself a mud pit which he seems to love!

It has been 31 days since I caught Scoot and Bug (could not see if it was successful), and I have seen them two other times since then. Scoot is not showing any increased activity or pacing yet. She had a drop in weight a few weeks ago but has now gained it back. I thought a couple times I found...

We have three dogs. Our middle dog Gabriel we got from the pound about 4 months ago. The day we got him I notice my arms itched where his fur touched skin. I though maybe it was whatever the pound washed him in. Well 4 months later it still happens. Whenever I interact with him for an extended...

I am a self taught quilter and this is my newest project. It measures 50" x39". The carapace is made form denim jeans and the rest is made from cotton. It is a rag quilt, the raw edges are part of the design. I have never been able to find a tortoise/turtle quilt that showed the real scute...

A year ago I posted about Thor and the fact that he did not seem to be growing. Here is the original post. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Is-he-growing-too-slow#axzz1SC8O082Q Not long after this post his plastron started to get softer and his appetite decreased. He got to the point he...
