Hi fellows, I just noticed today that the shell of Flash, my Brazilian RF had some changes in its shell. Can you confirm if it's shell rot? I have 3 other RFs aside from Flash and they are in diff. enclosures, Flash is living alone in its own enclosure. It really made me panic when I saw...

Hi fellas, I was reading threads and have learned from others that sphagnum moss is a good choice for a substrate. So I went to our local seedling bank here and only found one type of moss, I asked the sellers if they know what kind of moss is it but only got generic answers "It's moss...

Hi guys, Just want to ask something regarding the marbling of the shell. I just acquired a Brazilian RF today and was fascinated with its very minor marblings. I'm just curious, does the marbling increase/spread as the tortoise and its shell grow? Due to my fascination and appreciation of how...

I've noticed that there's only a fan page of Tortoise Forum on FaceBook, I wanted to have an extended communication with the community so I created a FaceBook group for Tortoise Forum. I am not trying to steal copyrights, patents, reputation or anything. I would gladly pass the ownership of the...

I just got a new Red-foot last night. He/she is about 8" in SCL. Just want to confirm the gender, it's a female right? And also, what kind of Red-foot is it? 'Cause I am not familiar with identifying the type of RF torts. (Northern, Colombian, etc.)

I just acquired another Red-foot which is around 8" SCL. It is in a separate container at the moment and I have not released it with Mayo(my 4" SCL Red-foot) yet. Do you think it would be okay if I join them together in one enclosure? My outdoor enclosure is about 4x1.5x1.5 and I have a huge...

Earlier tonight, I surprisingly found out a way to find out whether Koopa, my Common snapping turtle is hungry or not. I was lightly tapping my finger on the glass aquarium when Koopa suddenly tried to strike my finger from inside of the tank. Then I made him chase my finger a bit and decided to...

Ever since I got Mayo, my redfoot. I've been feeding her mixed veggies and add small chunks of fruits occasionally. I only choose greens and fruits that are safely edible for torts, cut them into pieces and mix them together. I also feed her hibiscus flowers once in a while. Then I sprinkle...
