Yes, his nails have grown a bit bigger and I need to trim them down. I haven't done it yet as he was a baby before. How do you approach it without an exotic vet? I know that I can file them or use a clipper, but with a clipper I have to be careful not to clip too much into the "darker" part of...

Strange, should be public as I can see it has views

This is him on the couch as our floors are all glossy and wooden and he slips on them

Oh, I did not make it public, should be fine now :) If it still doesnt show, just click on the video itself to take you to youtube!

Hello! Recently I have noticed our little guy (he is around 3,5-4 years old) is walking a bit differently by bending his back legs and his shell not being high enough. Need some opinions from others as I might be imagining things. I am attaching a video of how he is walking from today. When...

Great, thanks for the info! Much appreciated! I have also been using the ExoTerra Plantation Soil hence the huge amount of fibres in it.

So terry has been fine, she hasn't done what was on the videos for the past days. As for substrate, every alleged coco coir brick I got has those strings in it that when dry out become very evident. Can anyone recommend a real coco coir that wouldnt have any strings or all of them have them at...

It does become a bit stringy when it is dried out. I will make sure to change it to another brand though as this one appears to have too many strings in it. Will order a more finer one. Will just regular orchid bark from the gardening supply stores work? I am running low on one I got before but...

Adding another video from a few minutes ago doing it again.

Hey everyone! Terry is 3 and this morning she did something I have not seen her do prior. Videos are from her cam so thats why not the best quality. First one she was trying to scratch her neck and extending while opening her mouth several times. Second vid she had a few pellets and when...

Thanks for the advice! Needed to be sure I am not going to harm the tort without knowing :)

Hi everyone. I have built a bigger enclosure for my eastern hermann several months ago and want to introduce a bigger UVB tube and fixture. I got an Arcadia Lumenize T5 kit that I want to mount on top of the enclosure. The idea I have is to build 2 arches on top at a proper height at the width...

Hello everyone! I know this is a topic raised quite a few times and I was looking for some answers in other topics. However, I still wanted to get a fresh opinion so here goes. I have a juvenile eastern Hermann's tortoise for which I will be making an indoor enclosure big enough to accommodate...

So I managed to film her this morning making the sound around the middle of this vid
