Hey Chris. Can you send me a link to your new Greek Tortoise Care Sheet please.

Any word on the studbook? Thx

Sounds great. Would love to know. I might have incubated too high.

Hi there ?. Vet tech and breeder here. Is your tortoise showing any signs of intestinal parasites? How do the stools look? As stated above pin worms are very common in all reptiles and unless symptomatic or high numbers are seen good reptile vets do not typically treat for them. Flagellates...

Are you still looking to add new captive Chersina angulata groups to your studbook? I have 2.3 in California.

Nice congrats! No diapause or night time drop? Just lower incubation temp? Did anymore hatch? We've been working on it for a couple years too. Unsuccessfully so far but I have hope. Thanks

At 2 years old I wold use a basking bulb at 90-100 if your enclosure size allows.

Finding prices and adult breeders is not an easy. I agree with a price around $4000-$5000 for a proven breeder female. However you will need known lineage as well for that price. Lovely tortoise.

We have pure known lineage Grigus line of breeding Sri Lankan stars are Rodriguez Chelonians. ~Amber

Hey. We will not have a booth this year. Local pick is good if you don’t want to ship. I’m in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Hello. I have a one year old female western Hermann’s available and will have hatchings ready in about four months once they reach triple their hatch weight. Let me know if you’re interested and I send you pictures of her.

Hi Lauren. As a vet tech I've seen many issues with constipation, obstruction and GI perforation with various substrates. For this reason in my indoor habitats I only use pure coconut coir substrates. (Just to clarify - not the stringy fiber stuff for birds and make sure it doesn't have perlite...

Thanks @OkAdiza. Hi @Bstrawn92 I’m sold out of 2020 hatchling but just put a fresh clutch in the incubator yesterday of Sri Lankan stars (same species as Indian stars but located on the island and they get a little bigger). They will take about three months to hatch and I raise all of our...

Hi there! Sorry haven't been on in a bit. ? I have a very well started, smooth, incubated for female pure Sri Lankan star that's almost a year. Let me know if you are still interested?!

Interesting for sure.

That’s his usual behavior as well I was wondering if anyone who keeps these guys has seen an increase in agressive behavior during the heat?

What did the radiographs show? What injections? Any feces today?

Unfortunately I do not have a good way of knowing what caused it but this is normal involuntary body behavior at the time of death. We see this exact thing in all species when they are euthanized. The bladder muscles relax and release all the urine stored inside, the extremities will also relax...

Tortoises are known to eat their poop. The recommend foods are great natural laxatives (opuntia cactus and aloe) as well as high in water content. With these and soaking daily you should see some feces pass. If you don’t see any poop in a couple days I would highly recommend taking it to a vet...

Does your vet specialize is reptiles? Not just sees them but actually understands them? As a vet tech I would recommend having a good reptile vet lightly sedate the tortoise to take a FNA (fine needle aspirate) of the growth to send to the lab and see what it is on a cellular level. They could...
