    VitaSand

    I took a trip to Petsmart today to pick up a few bricks of Ecoearth for my tort. My mom had brought me, and with any trip to a pet store, you have to look around at other things. My mom saw some glow in the dark sand and said I should get it for my geckos. I said that sand was bad for reptiles...

    I'm back! :D

    Grenade takes a bath!

    Hibernation Oozing

    Well, I have two what i suspect to be Russian tortoises (They have all the distinctive marks, but their color is a bit bright) and one of them is hibernating. Well, I was feeding the tortoise not in hibernation, and I noticed some of the substrate had stuck to the side of his shell. When I...

    Plastic Enclosure Heating

    Well, I have recently realized that my adopted tortoises' 20-gallon glass aquarium was wayyyy too small and they bumped into the glass, making a racket for the whole house to hear.

    Grassland Tortoise?

    My friend was given two "grassland tortoises" but can no longer take care of them and is giving them to me. He works at PetCo and has a care sheet, but (call me paranoid) I don't exactly trust A massive corporation's judgement be right judging from the enclosure the animals are in at the store...
