Wanting to know what all you guys are finding that works. We always have ticks, but it more me that gets them. In October, we moved to a new house pretty much right around the corner and across the street. It has been empty for years. The backyard and neighboring lot was used for horses. So yes...

I took a nice four hour drive the other morning and came home with this beauty. Love her from her scutes to her coloring.

Looking to increase my groups. Open to all ages.

Susan, see if this helps. Please give us all information on him.. How long you had them, details on enclosure setup, and Vet comments/treatment.

Went to turn on the light over the erosa to check on them and spotted a nice large oblong egg beside one. :) Best part is there may be more under the behind of that erosa. Looks like she has a shallow nest right behind her. :)

This morning, when I was at the local WalMart, I picked up some mushrooms for the tortoises. Normally, I get big ones, but today all they had were the small white ones about quarter size. When I feed mushrooms, I just toss them all around the enclosure so they have to "hunt" for them. I was...

I have been seriously working (in between other projects) to create a new enclosure for my sulcatas in an old horse lot. When I started, the weeds were taller then me and trees and bushes had taken over, too. Some were (hidden well) I have pictures of what I started with. Last Sept I was to...

Last summer I started an enclosure, which I call my "Ode to Yvonne" enclosure. :) Would you like to come in for a sneak preview? It's only a preview because I still have a lot of work to do on it. :) Come on and follow me around to where you can see things a bit better. This is what I...

The suspects: Two teenaged sulcata males Smiley and Grumpy. The crime: Growing too big for their britches... uuummm I mean for their enclosure. The solution: A bigger enclosure. :p First we dug out the holes for fence posts and then put up a security wood fence along...

On another thread, folks were talking about items they would like to gift* to folks. Things they no longer need or have too many of. In some cases there may be a small charge (for example postage) or the item might be completely free. So we are going to give it a try and see how this thread...

This is my dilemma I have a wild feral cat who really hates me. She has a litter of four of the cutest kittens, who are just getting their eyes open. I came across them when they were just born and accidently worked within two feet of them. I was amazed but the Mom didn't move them. They are in...

I was lucky enough to be given the chance to care for Allegra's twins and as I went by them I took a couple of pictures for Allegra to see. This is how I normally see the twins: I took them out into the open so you could see them better. As you can see, they are almost the same size with the...

This weed is growing along the roadside and I was wondering if anybody knew it's name.
