    Turtle or Tort?

    Okay! About 6 months ago, I rehomed my redfoots to a man in California, where they now have an outdoor enclosure and get to frolic happily. Since then, I've moved and now have space and desire to setup more shelled buddies. I have a box turtle, but I've been trying to decide what else to get...

    Its not a tort...but...

    Heres a picture of my Chinese Box, Voldemort. Or the "Turtle who shall not be named". His shell is a bit odd colored for his species, as well as having an extra scute. He was discounted because of the imperfections, but he still deserves a good home!

    Some questions about weather and Burmese Mountain Torts.

    I have a few questions, really. I recently discovered the Burmese Black Mountain Tortoise and totally fell in love with them. I don't plan on getting one any time soon, I have much work to do building a table and such, but I was wondering if anyone could get me some care information or a sheet...

    Yellow Margined Chinese Box

    I have the opportunity to buy a chinese box turtle, the pet store doesn't have it labeled as anything else, but I believe it to be a yellow margined based on the markings on the head. His shell is a lighter color then most I see, but he's still just a baby. My question is, how big would an...

    Shipping questions.

    I'm getting ready to ship a baby redfoot from Kansas to California, and I don't really know the process to well. I've looked up packaging details and shipping costs via UPS, but I had a question about heatpacks. What temperatures would I need one and where do I get one?

    Wanting to rehome Redfoots

    After much thought and looking at my life, and things getting ever more chaotic, I've decided I don't really have the time to properly dedicate to my redfoots. I'd like to find new homes for them, and my goal is to get 80-100 dollars for each one. I can provide Mazuri pet food as well, and...

    UVB question

    I have a question about my UVB. I have a long UVB bulb which sets ontop of the enclosure. But I don't have a way of putting it in the middle, so one side is illuminated and one side isn't. Is this still getting my torts UVB?

    Odd imprints on bottom of redfoot

    My new red foot has two little spots on his under belly that kind of...imprint, like something dug in there. I'm unsure what they are exactly. His underbelly looks a bit odd compared to my other redfoot, but I assumed it was just cuz he was a different tort. Any idea what this could be? I...

    Mazuri tort food

    I order some online and got it in, both my torts eat it and seem to like it, but how long will it last without freezing it?

    New tort

    Well, I got a new redfoot, haven't decided on a name, debating Bowser, Koopa, or one of the ninja turtles! I was worried about my current redfood, Ralph, being territorial or something, but he's always been a bashful little bugger, and he seems quietly curious, but terrified of the new little...

    Plants for my Redfoot

    After looking over miles and miles of text giving suggestions, I find myself very overwhelmed. I'm looking for some plants to put in my enclosure to help maintain temperature, and possibly things for my little redfoot to munch on. Can anyone give me some easy suggestions? Selection may be...

    Covering an enclosure

    Right now, my redfoot is housed in a 4 x 2 table, and I can't really keep the humidity up. The gauge often reads high, but it doesn't feel humid at all. Several have suggested covering it up, but with what? Right now I put some wet paper towels on the screen to see if that'd help.

    Pyramiding question

    If a tort is to develop pyramiding problems, when does it usually begin to surface? My redfoot is one year old, and in my opinion, his shell looks fine, but I'm unsure.

    Ralph the redfoot

    Here I have some pictures of my one year old redfoot tort, Ralph. So, out of fearful curiosity. My girlfriend took these pictures while I wasn't around, and I hope the flash didn't hurt his eyes. Is that possible?

    Looking for young redfoot

    I currently own a one year old Redfoot and am thinking of adopting another. I live in Wichita, Kansas, and it'd need to close in age, maybe somewhat younger. Any advice or know anyone who'd have one available?

    Shy Tortoise

    I have a red foot who is almost one year old now, and he rarely leaves his burrow beneath the moss. Is this normal? If I hold off on feeding him, he'll explore around like he's looking for food, but once I feed him, he just hides for the rest of the day, even if I feed him early morning, I won't...

    Birds of a feather

    I own a year old Redfoot, and have been curious for a while, with him being the only tort, will he get lonely like that? Would he be happier if I got him a partner?

    Zoomed enclosure

    I just bought a ZooMed Tort table, and its okay, but there were a few screws missing and it doesn't quite fit together right. Feel kinda ripped, but oh well, Tort seems happy in it.
