Hello! I recently was given permission from my landlord to move my tortoise in with me (Ez has been staying with my parents since I moved). I have been posed with a possible dilemma; what am I going to do when I travel BACK to my parents' house WITHOUT Ez for visits once a month? If anyone...

Hello, everyone. Today when I (admittedly late) came in to check on baby Ez I found him FLIPPED OVER! The poor darling had been upside-down for gods know how long and his shell was covered in excrement. I quickly turned him back over and cleaned him off as best I could. I watched him for 10...

Hello! I just got my baby redfoot tortoise Ezra yesterday. I have him in a medium Cement mixing tub with dampened reptile-grade coco coir. I have a terra-cotta flower pot on its side with damp sphagnum moss in it for humidity. I have a light for sunlight and heat which reaches about 102 F. It...
