    Pokémon?

    You used to play a lot. Then I got really tired of waiting for leveling up and then I stopped. I don't know where my DS is so I can't play anytime soon anyways...

    What is this insect?

    I figured they would be roaches. Surprisingly, there really aren't a lot. I am trying to get rid of them of course, but just since the beginning I never saw them outside of the enclosure area. And also, I live in Illinois.

    What is this insect?

    Well, no surprise about holes. I got it from Ace. For all I know that bag could have been sitting there since spring. I think I might switch back to the coconut coir... I only started using the Cypress Mulch from Ace since they don't sell the coir in my town.

    What is this insect?

    That's what I thought at first too. And the problem is they came in with the substrate so I can't go laying poison or whatever around since I don't want that in the enclosure. And they don't have any interest in the tortoise at all if anyone just got worried there when I mentioned the...

    What is this insect?

    I can't figure it out. I've tried using Dichotemis Keys but none of them seem to work for my bug. Does anyone know?

    Bugs

    How do I get rid of them? It's really annoying. They are not mites or any type of parasitic bug. I reckognize them from outside and I've lived around them my whole life and they never harmed anyone. So what my question is, how do I get them out? They got in because I had a bag of cypress...

    My Russian!

    I never posted any pictures of my tortoise so here Alexander is! I'm not sure if this will upload or not... I'm doing it off my phone so you never know. I took all these yesterday afternoon. Now he is just being lazy and just sleeping in his log... He decided to sniff his leg... maybe...

    Male or Female? Help?

    I agree, your tortoise looks like a male.

    How would you describe yourself?

    l'm just a strange, introverted teenager who has had an abnormal obsession with turtles and tortoises since I was six. I love anime, video games, and reading way to much. Yep... I'm a nerd. I love Doctor Who and documentaries.

    What shows do you like?

    Doctor Who and Monsters Inside Me. Monsters Inside Me doesn't ever come one anymore, but it is still my all time favorite show. It's a documentary on parasites.

    Cool the touch.

    MVB, completely new. I got it just a few days ago. I keep it on 13 hours a day on a timer. 2 by 4 enclosure with cypress mulch. I have not had him outside recently due to the dropping temperatures here. [hr] Okay, I'll try setting the timer differently and I'll keep a close eye on...

    Cool the touch.

    So obviously by the title I the thread, my Russian feels cold when I pick him up anytime of the day. Also, I only see him outside his log or out from burrowing in any random place when it is time to eat in the morning. He won't bask for some reason and hasn't pooped much in his baths and...

    Winter's Coming

    And along with winter will be the cold so I'm worried about my Russian. Our house is really old so the air conditioning isn't the best so we don't get much warm air in most parts of the house. Bur I'm worried will my Russian be warm enough? I have a MVB bulb along with a CHI. But I feel like...

    Hello!

    Okay so for the past few days I've observed where he does it. Outside is perfectly fine and all o my house except my room. If he is on my bed it is usually before he goes to bed because then he can get more excercise in the day without me worrying about him crawling under something. On the...

    My Trip to the Zoo

    The Colombian Slider (if I remember the name correctly) had a great enclosure. Lucky for him! I love zoos and all but if they can't properly care for their animals then what's the point? That very same zoo made me fall in love with tortoise when I was 6 so it is a love/hate relationship.
