If anyone has the common sense God gave a rat, they shouldn't fall for this.
Maybe if enough people say something...
FLY RIVER TURTLE.. AKA PIG NOSED TURTLE https://petclassifieds.com/ad/fly-river-turtle-aka-pig-nosed-turtle-2620483/
Keeping the male Russian torts seperated until I gather the right ratio of females, or until I build more individual enclosures. Except John...John sucks, but I love him. He'd rather fight than eat.
I have one docile male I've had for years named Stubs, has always been docile and gets along...
The cooters are starting off the season breeding.
No babies last year, so hopefully I get lucky.
Not the best species for everyone, but if you have a pond I highly recommend them. Personable, cohabitation well with others turtles, even influencing others to eat vegetation.
I've told people in...
I sometimes see people on the forum saying they don't have the finances to build large outdoor enclosures.
It's pretty simple. Go behind the store of bars, flooring, carpet stores etc, and collect your free lumber.
I myself have called ahead in the past. Some companies reuse the pallets, so...
Two new rescues I got in this morning.
Senua, a russian tort named after a video game character that had a disease called, "The Rot", and Kratos...the God slayer.
They both have shell rot. It's fairly simple to treat with time. I use a chlorhexidine solution as well as a topical cream like...
Presented as a male.I plan on taking this little one in, but if it's male i'll have to rehome it.
Kind of hard to tell, but I believe it is male, any thoughts? Has severe shell rot.
If there is anyone in Oklahoma, these guys could use a hand.
Russian Tortoise
https://wichita.craigslist.org/pet/d/haysville-russian-tortoise/7721684060.html
Rain, sleet, snow. No additional heating. Just a safe dry place and substrate to burrow.
These guys have had yet another successful year of brumation. Took Boris out to do some health assessments. No runny nose or discharge.
Still waiting on everyone to pop up. Honestly, I hope everyone takes...
Meet Stilleto, the new rescue russian tort here.
I saw a courtesy post by house.of.pancakes on behalf of Animabilia pet store in New York, and @SinLA post
She was surrender by a mother who's son went off to the army. She's in pretty rough shape. Nails curved into her foot pads, not able to...
If you keep aquatic turtles, redfoots, fish or anything for that matter this is a must have.
A 200ft hose and a sink adapter. Mist your animals or fill waters all over the house.
A lot of people are skeptical about temu, but most of the items are practical. I personally wouldn't buy...
I've been posting about my clam journey for a while now.
Trying to breed them so I'd have fresh clam for the terrapin. I put in a few big ones about a year and some change ago, and honestly forgot.
I've been seeing them move around after the ice storm. We'll, the storm cut my liner which I...
So I've tried adopting a few tortoise. I qualified, but unfortunately most rescues can not ship, with the exception of one I know of.
Are there any rescues out there that can?
Here's an image from a video I took this morning. My dog chased a blue heron out of the yard that towered over him.
It was knee deep in the turtle pond hunting the bass. These guys will eat turtles if they're small enough; luckily mine don't fit the criteria, but I'll be certain to do a...
