    A new lifetime commitment!

    That was the main factor. My partner wasn't too sure of the idea and since we're living together, it's always better to listen to the other half ;)

    A new lifetime commitment!

    This ended up not working out . . . picked-up a red-foot instead.

    A new lifetime commitment!

    Hey folks, I'll be adding a new member to my family :) I found this little tortoise up for adoption on craigslist in the Detroit Area (I'm in Cleveland). The current owner isn't able to keep him because she knows how demanding the tortoise will be in the future. She says he's about a year old...

    UVB/ Mercury Bulbs?

    Hello folks! I'm seriously considering adopting a young sulcata tortoise from someone nearby and was wondering if the T-Rex 100 watt bulb would be sufficient? I know they require higher temps than other torts, but not sure if the 100w or the 160w would be required. Thank you in advance :)

    Sneezing?

    Thanks! Not today, no. The vet didn't hear it either. So either it was just a temporary thing, or perhaps she was breathing so fast when getting transported to the office, I'm not sure. I've bumped up hers slightly and will continue to put more water into the dish. That way she'll be a little...

    Sneezing?

    Well, I went the vet and had the check-up and she appears to be fine. The vet said that Tori had a good weight and wasn't having any difficulty in breathing, nor did she hear the popping sound I had heard earlier. When the vet went to pick-up Tori, she urinated a lot, hah. The vet mentioned how...

    Just a quick update: I made a vet appointment for Weds morning. I'll report what the vet has to say.

    Sneezing?

    Well, now that I put her up to my ear (literally) I do hear a faint popping sound. Hmmm. I'll need to make a vet appointment for this week. Strange thing is that her nostrils are completely clear. Again, I hope this isn't RI.

    Sneezing?

    No, this is the first time I've heard it. And she hasn't done it since. Maybe she just had a sneezing fit. I havent seen any bubbles.

    Sneezing?

    Hey all, my Hermann's hatchling has been making a "sneezing/hiccuping" sound. The nostrils are completely clear and this just started a few minutes ago. It sounds almost like a squeaking sound, so I went over and watched her and when she made it, she retracted her head back a bit then was...
