    What breed are these?

    in the uk its quite common for people to deliberately give the wrong species. I believe its because russians/horsefields don't need any paper work to be sold, where as some of the others species do.

    Show us your Russian tortoises

    This is Oliver, a fairly new addition that was dumped on us. as his previous owner got bored with the 3 she had. she sold 2 and this one was left in a tiny box with a hamster water bottle, dry cat food and no lights or heat. he's a little over 4 inch long and weighed 140gram when we got him...

    I think I just made a $50 mistake

    I always use coir and never had any real problems. The only time it got in her eyes was when she had flipped and was trying to right her self she got some in one eye i just rinsed it out with tepid water and she was fine.

    Help with viv\table?

    Defiantly change the water bowl for a plant saucer. They are much better and safer.

    Is this claw/scale thing normal?

    I noticed these scales/spurs on the back of her back feet and just wondered if they where normal. There is 2 on one foot and 3 on the other. thanks.

    Pyramiding question

    I'm in the uk an managed to find some mazuri on ebay. the seller was/is a member on here. sorry I can remember her name. I was told nutrazu was the same stuff just under a different name for the eu market, whether its true or not I'm not sure but it might be worth looking for it under that name...

    How should I disinfect the old "infected" home?

    sorry to hijack a little but has any one tried steam cleaning stuff? it should in theory work to kill any nasties, shouldn't it?

    Scared of any animals?

    do people count? The things sciencetists mess with and are capable of creating scares the crap out of me. Some things should be left well alone.
