We have a new addition to the family and thought I'd share. We are all very excited! Here's our new baby Elongated tortoise getting his first soak. I'll get a weight on him in the next few days and start tracking his/her growth.

Our Burmese Star, Rambo, recently turned 5 y/o in April and I wanted to give a quick update. He is roughly 8 inches now and weighing in at 1,474 grams as of today. We've had him since he was a hatchling and been lots of fun. He has some pyramiding, but not too bad. He absolutely loves hibiscus...

I'm looking for plastic corrugated culvert pipe to use in my tortoise enclosure. I can only find long lengths searching the internet. Does anyone have a source sold by the ft?

My Burmese Star's outdoor enclosure has wild Hawaiian Ti Plants (Cordyline fruticosa) that keep sprouting from the ground. They were planted before I purchased the home and I did remove them from the root, but they are like weeds and don't want to completely go away. My tortoise seems to love...

I thought I'd take a couple pictures of our bearded dragon "Rusty" enjoying the sunshine today. Bearded dragons really do have the best temperament and don't mind being handled. He is 5 years old now. Red translucent and 24" in length.

I was fortunate to visit Egmont Key (Tampa Bay Area) over the Memorial Day weekend with my family. We spotted several gopher tortoises on the island and it was beautiful to see them enjoying the day foraging for berries.

Burmese Star tortoises. I was wondering what keepers here have experienced with regards to adult sizes between male and females? Am I correct here: Male Burmese Stars 10-12inches Females 12-15inches

I took my trail bike for a ride this morning at Markham Park (Broward County) and saw roughly 20 iguanas out enjoying the sun. It never gets old watching green iguanas in the wild.

I live in "West" Broward County, FL and we have a healthy population of Cuban Knight Anole lizards, which are absolutely beautiful. I took this picture last April, 2018 in my backyard with an iphone (not the best). I happen to catch them doing the deed, which was incredible and unexpected. I...

I purchased a Burmese Star Tortoise from @Tom recently and she/he is really thriving in a humid environment. I am maintaining 88 degree ambient temps with 95 degree basking spot. I have a hide on the cool side of the cage that stays around 80 degrees. Night temps never drop below 80F...

I recently purchased a Burmese Star Tortoise from Tom (AKA: Captain Knowledge). He is a very well respected member here at Tortoise Forum. Tom and I were discussing several different species of tortoise before making my decision to go with a Burmese Star. He and I were initially discussing the...
