Parking is $6. Definitely planning on stopping by your table. I have VIP tickets.

Just thought I would let anyone who is interested in the Reptile shows know about this one. I'm going to see if any of the vendors are knowledgeable about the hingback tortoises. Also to see what is being offered. Also great time to get supplies.

How awesome to see them laying! Getting ready to put my outside enclosure together. Will keep you informed. Also have little redfoot who is 7 months old!

I love your ideas just have problem deciding how to place them. I've got to rethink where to put it. May try to use obsolete butterfly garden area. I am probably over thinking the whole concept. Will post when I make a decision. I have areas that retain water during heavy rain so that is a...

Oh! i guess I'm one of those OCD individuals. I think at this time I will just continue as is with my hingies. Thanks.

I've got some leaves that I brought back from NC. I've got to wash and boil them before I put them in the enclosure.

Thank you. I will think about it.

This is what one of the cages looks like. The owl does not come with it. :D

What a great setup! It would definitely make it easier to keep the temp and humidity levels more consistent. Do they get enough air inside for circulation? Would this type of setup work for Homeana Hingebacks?

That is a very good thought. I have considered it. i would definitely have a covered top on it. i have two cages that are 4'x4'x6' tall. That would make the enclosure 4'x8'x6'. They have a wire bottom so nothing can get in or out. I will look at other options but that may be the most cost...

I tried to follow your advice when I first got mine. You were a Huge help for a newbie. I'm still learning. Now I need to work on outdoor enclosure for warm weather. I will post pictures of their outdoor temporary habitat. They really need more room to move around and explore.

They get variety of mixed greens, dandelion, rocket, spring mix, collards etc (last choice for eating), various squashes, bell peppers, portabella mushrooms (favorite), papaya, mangos & strawberries, earthworms once a week (usually will eat 7-8 worms each). Hibiscus flowers. Diet depends on...

Nice pictures of your tortoises. They are really growing. How big are they now? I haven't been on the forum in quite awhile. Life gets in the way. Here are some pictures of my 2. Seymour is the largest of the two. I measured and weighed them the other day. Seymour is 4 5/8 in long and...

I just heard from Carrie and it is the same tortoise! Happy ending for all. Thank you!!

I just got a text from Carrie. She said that she found the owners! She went to put up a flyer at the corner store and they had put a sign up. Also, Carrie had posted it in lost pets on facebook. Thank you for your suggestion and concern. Yes the picture she sent me showed pyrimiding. This...
