How many days did it take after they received the sample did it take to get the results? Hi Adam how did they determine it was Herpes? The standard test is a q-PCR test. but there are actually different ways to get results, one test typically gives you results the next day. But the other...

This might have started off by some abrasion to the plastron or maybe even from a heat source. it also could be from laying on a damp substrate for too long and the inability to properly dry out. But now this is a fungal infection, I can see other scutes lifting on the corners. The way I would...

Yes and no, can you send me pics but really a video of her walking taken from the rear is best. Sam Pascucci

Hi and great to hear from you , thanks for the kind words. Sam [hr] Thanks very much for yoru interest its just as exciting for me. Sam [hr] Thanks Joy I am haveing a great time Sam

You know what’s amazing how you can see something and not process it. I never gave it a thought but your right everyone went left. What’s more peculiar is there is no specific reason to go left. You are looking at them in their “Home pen” the walkway in front of that pen leads to the...

Sorry I meant no disrespect in my comments about your setup or caring of your animals. Sam Pascucci [hr] Wow, what a fantastic opportunity to learn for someone actually studying Aldabras in their home land. This is great stuff, keep the information and pictures coming. Thanks so...

Your right my comments we specifically aimed at Galapagos and Aldabras. I also raise Redfoots, Yellowfoots, Spurs and Elongated Tortoises, (Not to mention Cyclura Iguanas) I have seen all of those species seemingly getting along fine individually, But to be honest I have not done a scientific...

I always tell the story 30 years ago collecting tortoises is what I was doing, now it is who I am, I no longer can separate the two. Really my motivation is to give back to the animals they have taken me so many places in my life, they have been a motivation from the time I was a child, I...

Yes they had to make a right or left, the Iguana cages are in the way if they go stright. What a great eye you have. Sam Pascucci [hr] Yes they have to turn left or right the Iguana cages are in the way if they go stright, you have a good eye for detail. Sam Pascucci

Well I have a funny store like that. I had eight young adult Aldabras in a pen now as things are, there are times of the year when all they think about is how to get out of that cage. I have had them dig under a fence till they could get their shell under the bottom board and just lift the...

Well you got me there. I don’t like talking about things I don’t have experience with like indoor husbandry of tortoises. I know many people are successful and I would rather see you get an opinion from someone experienced keeping animals in those types of environments For my taste I...

Cage size can be tricky and all of my experience is dealing with outdoor pens. That is because my farm is in South Florida. Let me try to answer this by way of example. If you had a 7” Aldabra I would not put it in a pen 20’x20’ that pen is too big and I have seen just as much problems...

RE: Pyramiding isn’t the worst thing for Giant tortoises I have not seen this exact condition in smaller tortoises. Not that I don’t believe it is possible, but I think what really promotes this condition in these large animals is the speed at which they grow, and the weight they...
