Hello,
I am looking to re-home my 11 year old redfoot tortoise, Tommy . She has been a great companion over the years but I believe it will be very difficult for me to continue to own her going forward. As you can see from my profile, I used this forum a lot when I was younger (I cringed pretty...
My friend has a turtle and she is very old, around 35+, and i just noticed while i was over her house that she had a bit of tail missing or something and i tried to tell her but she's like "oh she's just old" but is texting me now that it does look bad. They have had her in the same tank her...
My pleco has been acting kind of funny lately. I thought it was lack of food or something like the turtles eating it but today I realized its tail fin has a big bite in it. Is there any way I can help him? It has been like 4 days since he started acting strange (or when he was bit). Thank you...
Tommy's second birthday was 9 days ago and I thought that you might be able to guess if not tell his/her sex. I think he/she is a girl but you might as well take a look. Even if he/she is too young.
I want to know if my southern painted turtle has shell rot. A couple scutes are dis colored and almost peeling off. Also the underside is all white. Thanks!
Do you need two incubators to be hatching tortoises? One for incubation and one for hatching. I've been interested in breeding tortoises lately and might start soon. Thank you!
Today is Tommy's birthday! He is officially one! He is so happy! At 3 and 1/4 of an inch!

Big thanks to Jrcrist4 for my beautiful baby! Thank you!
Tommy has been not eating his usual lately but I believe it was his winter cool down. He still ate but not as much. Now that I have a heat rope in there and a space heater, I keep it a nice toasty warm 80*. Since all the heat, he is eating everything! Yesterday he even was looking for more food...
I want to change the time I feed my tort from the morning around 7:00 to about 6:00 in the afternoon. In the morning I have to leave by 7:30 for school and I want to have enough time to feed him and not feel rushed. I am not sure though if this would affect him or not. Thanks!
Okay I know that eating sand can cause impaction and other health problems but I was reading my Reptiles magazine and reading an article about bearded dragons and the sand for their substrate. The sand that you buy special at pet stores are supposed to calcuim or something and that they can be...
Is my tommy still too young to know the sex? He is eight months old, he hatched the 21st of May. I have a shot of his head scutes because I heard you could tell the sex by seeing what arrangement they are in. I also have a tail shot and some others. He is a little over 3 inches. Thank you and...
One that is a way too small tank and a little expensive http://cleveland.craigslist.org/for/3453588549.html
Another that says "so easy to care for!" http://cleveland.craigslist.org/for/3473872649.html
Well today i was reading about south america and the galapagos islands at school today. I read that pirates would capture the tortoises there and keep them on the ship because they can live without food or water. I also read that the 3 out of 11 tortoise species are extinct. What a way to live...
I am on turtle forum, is anyone else? I like tort forum better because I am we'll known, well better on here than there. I only have 25 posts or somthing. I have the same username on both. Just wondering. :)
I found a itsy bitsy little snail in my tank that will hopefully get some fish in it! If you can see him. Sorry for the bad pic.
He is the brown thing.
