    Is There A Specific Substrate To Grow Spider Plants.?

    Wish you were close to me, I can start tons of baby plants and I do for friends. they are easy to grow. They do best in direct sunshine but will do OK in partial sunlight. The more the light, the more babies and denseness of the hanging plants.

    Sammy making groaning noises.

    Sorry for the spell correct, he is obviously a sulcata. He has always had that light for years. It is about 12" from him, 75W red heat lamp. When I turnhis day lights off he heads right to the spot under the light and spends the night there. Every night for years. Possibly he has gotten bigger...

    Sammy making groaning noises.

    Sammy, my 18 year old soul Carter has been making these odd noises the past several months. It sounds kind of like a groaning moaning sound. He seems to only do it in the evening when he sits under his red heat lamp. otherwise he is very healthy. Looks very healthy. Eats and drinks well, is...

    I can't stop Laughing...

    I agree, that one was funny. The other one was nightmare material for kids!

    I can't stop Laughing...

    Personally the commercial where the tortoise jumps up and grabs onto the guys face I found rather creepy and offensive. I know it’s all in fun, but that was not a very nice portrayal of a tortoise. It just wasn’t nice.

    Notification of renewal fee?

    Disregard. Sorry. A little while ago I DID got an email, timed at 10:15 this morning. Something must have held it up getting to me in a timely manner. Go figure!

    Notification of renewal fee?

    I love your forum and gladly pay the minimal fee. This morning my bank app notified me of a charge to "paypal-exoticpetne". Could find nothing online and called my bank. Was about to set it as fraud and have to have my credit card reissued...a major pain. They suggested I call PayPal. Between...

    My baby snapper stopped eating

    Here is his whole 10gal tank set up. Water about 4" deep. I have seen him sitting on the brick under the plant sunning, and also hiding under the rock shelf. Not sure which light spectrum to use, (link to light attached) so I use the all on spectrum from 8am-4pm, then change to blue until about...

    My baby snapper stopped eating

    Update on my little snapper. Its been a month, since my last post. He has woken up, and is very active. He swims around, suns himself on his rock, but still won't touch food. Sometimes I see him watching a guppy or meal worm like he is stalking it, but that's it. He explores and seems very...

    My baby snapper stopped eating

    Thanks for your help. it’s been about three or four weeks now. He really goes into deep sleeps. Looks like he’s dead and slow to wake up but when I get him up and rinse him he swims around like normal again. I would think if he was sick, he wouldn’t perk back up like that each time. So I will...

    My baby snapper stopped eating

    I have been on this forum for my Sulcata. Only one profile... I've had a snapper before and successfully kept him 20 years, ending up in a appropriately terraced 55gal tank. Great pet. Been gone for years. Recently I was given a baby snapping turtle in June. I have him in a 10gal tank, with a...

    Sammy is CHARGING!

    Sammy my 25 pound Sulcata is charging me. He spent all of his 15 years in an enclosure, finally ending up in a fairly large tortoise table, at table height. He is now in his dream home. He is in an insulated enclosure, on the ground, in an area four times bigger than his tortoise table was...

    Thanks for checking back. I’ve had a lot of things going on around here, including trying to get a new roof on my house. They’ve been working between cold and precip. I am going to physically have to go to the box stores and garden centers and look at the bags. That’s going to be a Day or two...

    Just found an interesting article about cedar bedding. http://www.anapsid.org/cedar.html As I continue to read online, it seems like cedar mulch is at the very top of all the DO NOT USE and poisonous charts for use with reptile/pets. I think I will have to check the different box stores and...

    In regard to the red/heat light. All I know is it has no affects on my tortoise. I turn it on over a corner in his pen, only at night. For his entire life, he had been going over and sitting right in the middle of the red light/heat area and sleeping. Sometimes he goes in his shelter, sometimes...

    I have lots of pets, they are my family. If I can’t give them the best life I can I have no business keeping them. I have had every kind of turtle and some tortoises since I was young, for pets. My dream has always been to have a huge tortoise, and Sammy seems to be on the way to fulfilling my...

    Excellent idea for the water bowl. I will buy them the same time I buy the Cypress mulch.

    Mine is in the middle. Any solutions would be appreciated. Seems like this just may be what they do.
