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.

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
