I'm getting it again! Looking at all these new hatchling pics is melting my heart! I want another hatchling! Lol unfortunately will have to wait, but until then o can live vicariously through you guys lol
It's been awhile and I know I haven't posted on here in a while but I have a new job and in prepping for grad school. Anyway, Nyx is finally a pound! 8 months and growing like crazy! I don't have new pics yet but I will. Hope everyone is doing well!
So, I was contacted by a guy who is giving me a free aquarium. How awesome is that?!? But he also wanted to me take his daughters Russian. Long talk with this guy and I'm going to rescue this little dude. Anyway, I have to make a lot changes to his current living quarters and diet. His beak and...
I've been puzzled for a while on how I should do the additional 50 gallon tub to add on to her current one. I was thinking a different environment encouraging exploration and anything to give a natural rainforest feel. I think going the tropical theme would be more pleasing. My goal with this is...
I have seen a lot of cute pictures of peoples torts. Hatchlings peeking out windows, baskets, adults caught in the midst of eating, etc. Post your pics and tell me about your photo and why you think it is your best photo. :)
So, I just realized that my wife's female Molly is pregnant. She is freaking out at the moment because we don't have an extra aquarium to separate her. So, looks like we are going shopping and waiting patiently for our little babies to come! I'm super excited!
Any advice on this as it's been a...
I have to say that I'm completely in awe. I honestly didn't think I would see any improvement this fast. When I got Nyx she was pyramiding. The breeder keeps his hatchlings dry in which all were pyramiding. I've had her for about 5 weeks now and she has gone through several growth spurts and her...
I keep seeing all these posts about tortoises wanting to hibernate. This is very confusing to me as I didn't think reptiles hibernated but instead brumate. Am I correct in this as hibernating is a mammalian behavior and brumation is reptilian behavior?
I'm washing dishes and my 3 year old runs up to me very proud, excited, and disgusted and tells me that he had pooped in the toilet and it was big and gross. Then we both get excited. Oh the joys of fatherhood!
So, I've noticed that Nyx has been digging a bed area by the basking rock. I have orchid bark over coco coir which is about 6 inches deep.
She doesn't burrow in it, but digs up the bark to lay in a divit in the coir. It's just deep enough so she fits comfortably in it. It reminds me of how...
My wife's great Dane is about 5 months old and we believe he was sold to us around 4 weeks old and was told he was 9 weeks old. His behavior is very uncontrollable. He constantly mouths, jumps, bites, all the stuff puppies do, but he gets so excited it interferes with his learning. His behavior...
So, i have watched the tortoise and hare races and even though they are meant for fun and everything I often wonder if the straight line course actually puts the rabbit at a disadvantage. Most of the time I'm watching the rabbits trying to see what's over the dividers instead of running the...
