Hi everybody, After 2 years living in a tortoise-free home i decided to take the plunge and buy an aldabra tortoise, while doing some research i came across that there are recognised aldabra tortoise subspecies ? I hope anyone would shed some light on this topic so i could identify what...

It will work fine with an electrical type right ?

Well to be on the safe side I changed it to an electrical ballast

Hi all, I recently bought a light fixture for a t8 tube uv light. The fixture has a magnetic ballast. Will the t8 uv bulb work fine with a magnetic ballast ? I have no idea what I'm doing honestly. The size of the fixture is 60cm and the t8 tube is 18w

I heard that when calcium carbonate is heated, it decomposes into calcium oxide.

well, I do support the world wildlife fund. but recently made an order then I realized I forgot to open the smile version of amazon.com

Well, They have pesticide free hibiscus plants in dubai. The Pet Shop/Creatures Oasis Jumeira 1 04-3434534 Good prices as well I got this for 39dhs. It bloomed 4 times and had so much leaves. But I frequently feed my torts hibiscus so it has less leaves now.

RIP ;( He stopped eating And yesterday passed away

So it is fine right ? Shall I stop worrying ?

Hi, I have a juvenile indian star tortoise which pooped orange poop while soaking. Is it normal ? He ate his first hibiscus flower last week (pink flower) could it be the flower ? Sorry it looks like there are poop flying everywhere cuz the bucket is shaked while pulling it.

After 4 days of the sulcata sleeping, now he's awake ! Moving and eating again !

He's inactive and not eating now and I'm really worried :( When I hold him he slowly opens his eyes then I put him back and he sleeps. When soaking he keeps his eyes open but does not move

Yes they are

And btw the other 1 is a bit larger than the one which is not releasing urates (higher dome)

I keep them outside, I soak them once every 2 days. The humidity outside is 50-80% and they don't have access to water (when they climb they flip the dish) I have a new plant saucer but not installed it yet.
