I was wondering if anyone could sex Hermy my Greek tort? He was born mid 2011 so he's about 1 1/2 years old and is roughly 4 inches long. I know its a bit early to be sure but I saw a thread with someone sexing a 6 week old so you can do it ;) just curious and thought I would ask :huh:

Wow I haven't been on here in forever. Not too much has changed which is good in my opinion. I would just like to say how good this forum really is. I've been on a couple other forums and this one is the best by far. Replies are quick, accurate, and there's usually more than one person's opinion...

I was wonder do Greek tortoises hibernate in the wild? I think I read that some subspecies do and some don't. Just wondering, thanks!

www.Backwaterreptiles.com www.reptilecity.com I was wondering if these websites are good to buy from. I was searching for a good website to buy from (not just tortoises though) and saw these for the first time. They seem good but you never know.

Every year (well for the last three years) we have a 4th of july party at our house and every year something goes wrong. The first year we decided to zip tie fire crackers to pop bottle rocket (smart I know :P) and shoot them off. Well it flew sideways and burnt our trampoline but it wasn't so...

I am semi-new to tortoises but am defi atly new to bulbs/uv/heating. I have been reading that the spiral bulbs are bad. Are all spiral bulbs bad, even the special reptile brand uv ones? Are they bad for eyes, our eyes, the tortoises eyes, or what? I do not know anything about them so any info...

My female just molted! First molt in my possession. They act exactly like they are dead/dieing. They flip themselves over, and in about 8 hours they wiggle and squirm right out of their old body! Then they have to harden. Sorry about pics, blurry and hard to tell. The one in the...

I came home today to see my baby greek had a rock fall on him. I had rocks leading as a ramp up onto a platform that he could go under. He does, its his favorite spot (probably not any more though). He must have pushed against it and it slid off and was on him. He couldnt move so he was stuck...

its a beetle devouring a toad. not a toad devouring a beetle. I think it is horrible! I like reptiles and amphibians so this to me is not good.:( If you dont like seeing toads die or get eaten dont watch. http://www.reptilechannel.com/reptile-news/2011/09/26/epomis-eats-frogs.aspx scroll...

I was wondering if anyone has experience breeding red eyed tree frogs? This is probably the wrong place since its TORTOISE forum but we were thinking about breeding them.

I click on the photo gallery and saw it still had the old TFO logo. I dont think many people go there and and its not that important, just a reminder.;)

Any one have them? How when and how often do they croak? (not die croak) We have a female and was thinking about getting a male but weren't sure because they would be loud all night long.
