Probably overthinking this. But lately it seems my RF has been yawning more and for longer periods. Mostly when she's basking. It's kind of alarming, She does this thing where she moves her jaw a bit. She has absolutely no other symptoms, and is otherwise perfectly healthy. Problem or not...

Well, I am probably overthinking this. But I thought I'd ask you guys anyway. My tortoise Toby, who is kept in great conditions (Better than her daddy!) and eats like a queen (Healthily that is) and has no health problems had a bit of a wheezing..or maybe just deeper breathing sound for...

So, even with the extensive cleaning. Like a lot of turtles, mine occasionally gets a bit of green algae on her shell. I usually just clean it off, no big deal. Lately she has gotten a bit of whiteish colored algae on her shell, or at least I believe it to be algae? Looks the same, only white...

Hey guys. Well, my redfoot is now roughly 8" OTC. She's growing fast, so I want to set her up with a new enclosure. First off, this is her indoor for winter. (Her outside one is fine as is.) What sort of dimensions would you guys recommend? I was considering getting a few rubbermaids, and...

Well, I've got a few empty tanks, and one of which I'm thinking of getting a baby Common Snapper for one. I know they get big and will later on need a large enclosure, but I was wondering a few things about them! I've caught snappers in the wild my whole life (Not to keep, of course. Just to...

Was wondering if when he gets a bit bigger if he can go in with my adult Stinkpot? She's about 3-4 inches OTC, and the baby is about inch and a half.

Okay guys, so this is my first winter with a tortoise. Up until this month, the humidity was no issue. But this January has been brutally cold where I am, and very dry. I have been changing the substrate more, and spraying it with water plenty. But it doesn't seem to be doing much help. I...

So, all along I have used Spring Water for my turtle (A Stinkpot.), but I have heard conflicting stories on whether or not well water (Natural, the well is artisan and in my back yard.) is okay for turtles. So, the matter is, is it?

Can't find anything about this. Never seen one of these in NH... Stalk is as big around as my forearm.. Was less than an inch last week. No smell. Spongey underside. Growing in mulch with manure under it. I always keep Toby away from shrooms, but I'm curious just what this is?! He...

So I'm pretty sure my Toby is a girl. =[ He(?) is 8 this month, and his growth was a bit stunted. Here's some pics that might help... Looks girl to me..

Hope you guys enjoyed. :) He sure did.

Welp. This seems to happen both indoors and out. Basically my redfoot, from time to time, gets the urge to try and climb (which I know all torts do) the walls. Problem is, he ends up frequently on his back. Obviously that's a problem! Any solutions? Things I can do to the walls?

As you can see, Toby has a very unique shell. It is unknown to me or the rescue I got him from whether it was the way he was born, with some split scutes, or, what it seems more like due to the way it is shaped and the indents are, a prior traumatic shell injury. Toby is now 7, and has had no...

Hello! So I have heard so many mixed things on how often to feed. See, I've got down pact what to feed. I've got it down how to feed. And where. And etc. But how often? I've heard everything from 3 times a week, to every other day, to daily. I have an adult (7 year old) Red Foot...

Dumb question..I'm used to buying spring for my aquatic. Is my well water okay for a Tortoise to soak / drink?

Hiya. Just wondering how moist of substrate your RF's like? I read they like it rather moist and humid. Trying to make it best possible for Tobster!

I've heard a lot say slugs, and a lot say Cat Food...I can't help but feel skeptical on cat food, is their a specific brand that is good? I know Red Foots are advised to have some animal protein. (Around every two weeks, correct?) Is there a good way to get a tort who has never had cat food...

So I am working on an indoor for my Redfoot. The largest rubbermaid's I'm finding are too small, or oddly shaped. Of course the right size one is Out of Order online...I can't find any of these "Christmas Tree Boxes" for sale locally or even online.. Maybe a bookcase? What dimension...

So I was with my fiancee picking up some items at the local Failmart, and we decided, hey, let's look at the fish. Now, I had looked before and they had a pretty nice selection, and they were taken care of decently enough. But now what we saw was just disgusting..Literally, more than half...
