GOSH - they are the cutest little things! I wonder how the one with yellow spots on the center spine will look as an adult - all the others have black spots in the center. How big across are they? The size of a half dollar? Or bigger?
Yes, I am willing to ship him before it gets too hot out. I have never shipped a turtle so I might need a little guidance on the process, but I can do it. I'm sorry I never saw the notification for your message and just stumbled across it now. Are you even still interested? Do you want him for...
Hi All,
I "rescued" a tiny GC BT a little over a year ago. He or she has grown well and [I assume] is healthy but after reading this forum for a year and getting a lot of help I have come to the realization that there are people out there that really love their torts and that I am not giving him...

I do vermiculture (compost with worms) and the fruit fly and springtail problems are common. Killing the flies with tape or however you want to do it will work if you are diligent and don't leave any left alive. For the springtails - this is going to sound gross, and it is very labor intensive...
My yearling Harry has never been a particularly active turtle, or a very good eater. Recently when I go to feed him I have to dig him up to soak him and try to get him to eat. He won't eat at all, and when I leave him alone he just burrows back immediately. Is he trying to hibernate? The house...
OK, thanks so much you guys! Looking at the Omega One pellets available on Amazon, the product is specified as either juvenile or adult. If my boxie is 4.5" long and maybe a little over a year old, is he considered a juvenile still, or an adult? He still prefers protein foods and will scarcely...
