Hello, were you able to find a home for him? My wife and I would love to adopt him if he’s still available. We’re located outside of Charleston, SC and would be willing to travel to pick him up (we’ve been wanting to visit the Florida Aquarium for quite a while so we would make a trip out of the...

We adopted Ruby in September of 2023 from a family in Virginia. She had mostly lived in their house and been eating premade dry food. Her beak was overgrown and she was pretty lethargic. She had a hard time eating anything that wasn’t shredded. She’s made a lot of progress here in South...

Ok, thanks! I think it would be safe to say the Charleston show would be identical to Columbia and Greenville.

$40? That’s unheard of! Makes me wonder if they’re wild caught.

I’m planning on going to repticon in Charleston. Does anyone know what to expect? How tortoise oriented are these events?

Thanks! I’m actually in South Carolina now, I haven’t updated my location in awhile.

I just got my new redfoot and yellowfoot hatchlings and this is the setup I made for them. The substrate is coconut coir topped with fir bark. The plants are squash, pumpkin and pet grass. The temperature stays around 83 degrees with 85 to 95 percent humidity. There is sphagnum moss in the hide...

I haven't been on in awhile so I just saw this. Thank you very much!

@Anyfoot the female is the one that passed away in March

Ok it's not raw underneath. It seems to be drying up and "breaking away" today. I guess I'll monitor it for the next few days. It scared me lol I've never had one have this happen.

Should I do anything to keep it from getting infected?

I'm thinking maybe the moisture got too high and he snagged it on some mulch or maybe his plastron

Shuffles has loose skin hanging from the soft skin on his neck. Should I be worried?

I'd believe it. If you google search "baby sulcata" it's almost guaranteed that you'll find pictures of a tiny sulcata reaching out to bite a strawberry that is bigger than he is. That makes for a great photo but it could have a lot to do with people's perception that fruit should be a staple in...

The first one is a 10.0 bulb. That's too strong. You will need a 5.0 bulb for hingebacks. Something like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006L11A6/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255OS6/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

Ok, I keep him very wet and he has access to his own soaking "pool" which he uses multiple times daily. I kinda feel like the less I bother him the better off he is.

I was just curious, what are your thoughts on soaking homeana or other types of hingebacks? I did a quick (not very deep) search on soaking and there seems to be varied opinions.

Yeesh, does that say $39.99 for the CHE? You can get them on amazon for 10 bucks.

I think it has a lot to do with people wanting to give treats to people and animals that they care about. "That poor thing has to eat yucky grass all the time, I bet a strawberry would cheer him up" Every other pet has a treat section at the store so people just see it as a way to treat them...
