    Need to rehome an African Dwarf Mud Turtle

    I want to rehome my female African Dwarf Mud Turtle because my overly enthusiastic male will not leave her alone. She is one-year old and very friendly. I want her to go to a dedicated turtle hobbyist. I would love to keep her separately but I have too many tanks already! :oops:

    What are these white spots?

    This morning I found Wally, my Pelusios nanus hatchling, with whitish stuff on the neck, near the eyes, and on the legs. Is this a fungus? The other hatchling does not have it.

    Cat proofing....

    During the day, Tucker's lid is off to ventilate the enclosure. My curious cat wants to explore Tucker's enclosure so I got this wire shelving as protection for when I at work. Do you think this will work?

    Hatchling is not burrowing

    Is it normal if a hatchling Hermann's Tortoise does not burrow at night? Tucker has stopped burrowing about two weeks ago and sleeps on the substrate or his slate. New York is very cold right now so I have his night time room temps at about 73 -75 F. His overnight humidity level is around 70%...
