There is a current outbreak of the original H3N2 strain of Canine Flu. It is traveling across state lines and deaths have been reported in multiple states. Best advice is to get your dog vaccinated. It is a series of 2 injections 2 weeks apart. Tuesday June 20th is National Canine Flu Day...

Someone on my FB page found a very young Galop in south Florida. Let me know if anyone is missing a tortoise and I will get you the contact info.

OK boys and girls. This is a very important post and requires action by all citizens of the United States. Rest of the world, please indulge me. HR 2603 is a comprehensive bill that would remove all Non native species from the ESA list. That means no federal permits would be required of any...

Here is a photo today showing probably my most promising male. 6" and color just jumping out.

Available 6 perfect Radiated Tortoises from early 2017. Unsexed. Smooth and well started on Organic Spring Mix, Chopped Cactus and Soaked Mazuri. 900$ each any tortoise in the tub. 3 blood lines to pick from. Shipping about 45$ via FEDEX. Must possess CBW permit or reside in NC or Fl.

This little one is really starting to color up very nicely. The Vertebral Scutes are showing quite a bit of yellow and the Chostal scutes are beginning to spread, which is a good thing. Time will tell how yellow this one will be but it is already showing a lot of promise. Yellow head to boot!.

It is very frustrating for us to try and give advice on Tortoise Care if we do not know where you live. We take a lot of things taken for granted here in the United States because everything is available within a reasonable distance. I find it unhelpful to offer advice to people who live in a...

I have received a group of 2.4 Vietnamese galbinifrons bourreti Turtles on breeding loan from a good friend in Texas. I am hoping that we will be able to get them to breed later on this year. Very rare and beautiful Turtles. Very shy as well. Snuck a few pics but trying to leave them alone to...

These are some 2016 youngsters and my 2 year old Male Yellow Boy. Coming along. New color starting to show on the younger ones. All the 2016's are available if interested.

I have what appears to be 7 fertile Burmese Star Eggs. They are about 60 days from hatch date. (assuming I do not screw their incubation up, which I did last year) they should hatch around mid April. They are incubated for female, but that is no guarantee for sex. These are TOTALLY and...

For those who have been following this thread over the past few years, we are very close to seeing the law repealed the ban against buying and selling Turtles/Tortoises in North Carolina. The repeal of the law from 1977 is close to being implemented. North Carolina is going to go back to the...

Boy, you can go crazy if you want to provide the best housing for your hobby. Hmm let's see: Heated floor check, Misting System check, Substrate check, UV Lighting check, Daylight bulbs overhead check, Land-water tubs for turtles check, Enough space check. Now I have to move them all in over the...

In my opinion, temperature sexing for the most part, is a bunch of crap. There is always variation within the temperature of the incubator. Every time the door is opened, the temperature is affected. I am so sick of these breeders flapping their gums that they are this sex or that sex because...

These are an unrelated laparoscopically sexed pair of Radiated Tortoises. Not temperature sexed! Their sex has been confirmed surgically, the only true guarantee of their sex. Female is on the left, Male on the right. Well started on all greens, Cactus, Mazuri and Marion Zoologic. Please P.M...

We are in the process of compiling data to initiate a lawsuit with USFWS for all those who have had their permit application denied. The information we need is: 1. A copy of the original application 2. Copy of the denial letter from USFWS Please forward all information to me or to Phil Goss...

These are photos 1 year apart. A lot of change in color and thickness of banding.
