    incubation Aldabra eggs

    Are you able to incubate for gender? I know with other species of turtles or tortoises that if you incubate at lower temperatures you generally get males and higher temperatures you would get females, or vice versa. I'm not a breeder so I don't know but I do know that there is a temperature and...

    ISO an Aldabra Tortoise (prefer 2 Sisters)

    Hello Everyone! I'm not exactly sure why I keep looking at myself listed as a "new member", I've been here for years. I am a RESCUER, REHABILITATOR, & REHOMER. The End. (Just kidding) I have been most fortunate in my pursuits of rescuing turtles and tortoises from a myriad of situations...

    Coconut Oil

    I love that you mentioned their SKIN! I have 3 female rescued Sulcatas and my girls' top of their heads get quite dry as they are 30 lb babies and when the South Carolina temperatures are agreeable to them you will see them grazing on the amazing grass that I have because it's my former organic...

    Using powdered limestone

    I'm talking about the lime that is used in horse stalls to keep the smell down from the urine that is excreted. Both of my sulcatas have their own sleeping quarters and because they are on the ground in organic soil I was wondering if lime would be appropriate to use underneath their soil and...

    Ant control

    I don't suggest leaving food out on slate. But, you can use a terracotta pottery dish to place their food in, then place the dish in a larger dish and add water to the larger dish. Ants will not cross a water barrier, so now your feedings will be safe during the Tort's soaking. Food left in...

    My archenemies are back… ants—help please!

    I don't suggest leaving food out at all. But, you can use a terracotta pottery dish to place their food in, then place the dish in a larger dish and add water to the larger dish. Ants will not cross a water barrier, so now your feedings will be safe during the Tort's soaking. Food left in...
