safe

Hi all I am currently struggling with my baby Hermanns vivarium especially with the humidity. The humidity is way too low. I am thinking it is the substrate I am using so I ordered some coco coir to mix in with the one I am using currently but I need to make sure my Viv (wooden ) doesn’t rot...

I’m looking for safe food for my baby box turtle. I have a lot of small brown salamander’s around my house. Are they safe for Max to eat?

Hey guys just wondering is it safe for my tortoise if you look at the bottom you can see her chilling there. There’s a glass partition to separate her. Scared she might flip over and roll down if I let her go up

Hi! I’m really wanting to buy a pet captive bred Asian Spiny toad, obviously it would be kept in a separate cage but it would likely be kept in the same room as the tortoises. My torts are both year old Indian stars, would that be safe? I would be washing my hands well between handling either...

Hello! Ez and I made it a week! I know this is incredibly early, seeing as how it's still winter up here in Canada, but I'm wondering if the plants which grow naturally in my yard are safe for a redfoot tortoise. The one I have been having trouble getting any information on is called "heal all"...

Hi again, so I know its probably hella bad for my Tortoise to eat hair but she doesn't do it often since I clean her tank every day but my grandma doesn't like her or my cat so sometimes my cat is in my room (my cat loves my tortoise and never tried to hurt her unlike my mom's dog). Now I get...

We are finalizing improvements on our outdoor desert tortoise enclosure. I have organic grass seed that I would like to plant - I’m looking for any suggestions for safe soil to use for grazing - as they’ll be done hibernating (and hungry) soon! I have used no-frills organic top soil in the past...

My neighbor has a hydroponic garden, and they have bolted romaine lettuce. They don't want it because according to Google, the leaves are a bit bitter compared to regular romaine. So they asked if we want it for our Sulcata. Anyone know if it's okay for them eat it?

Hi there everyone, I was living in the Netherlands for a few years with my boyfriend but we broke up recently, so I moved back to the USA. Problem is, I have a Russian tortoise that I wasn't able to take with me when I left. Is it possible to ship him safely from The Netherlands to the USA? I'd...

Hey Everyone, I'm a New Tort-Mama. I have 2 Leopard Torts (4mos old). I have a 1/4 acre yard that I'm hoping to make safe for them to roam/graze in as they get older. The problem is that this yard has never been built on, etc so it's just filled with lots of different grasses/weeds. I've done...

So this actually isn't for a tortoise enclosure, but it could still apply for one. I'm hoping to make a bioactive terrarium for a salamander. My question is, how can you make leaf litter, moss or fallen branches from outdoors safe for reptiles/amphibians? It will be bioactive, so I guess it...
