I need to ship my tortoises which are about 15-20 pounds from Tucson to New York. I want to use delta cargo however there are no direct flights flights so I was wondering if it would be fine to put them on a flight with one stop? Also what method do you think is the safest way for me to pack the...

Haven't posted here in a while, I have been pretty occupied by my fish but I am so excited by my new additions to the tortoise collection that I had to start a new thread. I bought 2.3 young adult Tuscan Western Hermanns, I am very excited to share them with you all. Last year they produced 15...

It's been a while since I've posted so I decided to take a few pictures of my three radiated tortoises and share them with you guys.

Hello tortoiseforum, It has been a while since I have made a post and I decided to share with you all my tortoise pen build. To begin, I live in Long Island, New York and keep my tortoises outdoors for the majority of time I can which is only a few months. I have been trying to make a tortoise...

I am taking offers on these six captive bred baby Dalmatian Hermanns Tortoises. I am not in a rush to sell these tortoises and would like to sell them as a group. As you can see they are from two different clutches that hatched about a month apart. The smaller clutch has grown much slower but...

Would it be ok to feed stevia, mint, and basil to my tortoises? I have a few huge plants of these and wanted to get rid of some. I figured I might as well feed them to the tortoises if it's edible.

Are these fertile? I think I see chalking

My tortoise decided to nest at the worst possible time. I have an incubator but I do not have substrate. I am waiting for my testudo hermanni hercegovinensis to finish digging and lay her eggs. What should I do, I have no substrate and I am very worried. Should I keep the eggs buried for the...

Im thinking this is a wild caught box turtle. Definitely not a baby, the owner must not have known much when they snatched this turtle out of the wild. http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/for/4555064319.html

Today in the mail arrived a breeding trio of Dalmatian hermanns. These hermanns are far from pretty but I got them for a steal due to their looks. The females are huge both are above 6 inches but the male is miniature he is around 4 inches. This is by far my ugliest tortoises but I am happy to...

I have been recently thinking about making a new tortoise pen because my current one is an eye soar. The idea I have in my head now is a dugout with the interior edges made of stacked slate. I am thinking I would have the pit dug down about 2'-3' underground and have the slate come up about...

I have a sunroom which is currently not in use for any plants and I figured I might as well put some plants in for my tortoises instead of letting cobwebs overtake the room. I have seen the tortoise table and know the list of edible plants from their website. But I would like to know which you...

Edible or inedible? Thanks, Ben

Can someone please give me feedback on this exported. They sell rare reptiles including tortoises and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I am providing a link to their facebook page due to the fact they do not have a website. It seems pretty legit to me but I do not want to...

Hi everyone, I was wondering how Redfoot tortoise owners incorporate meat-protein in their redfoot's diet. Do you guys use canned food? Hard boiled eggs? Ect.? Also what do you find to be your redfoot tortoises favorite protein source? All inputs wanted! Thanks, Ben

Today I got an email from a wholesaler and I saw the were selling Pelochelys Bibroni a.k.a Asian giant softshell turtle. I have never seen one for sale before and was beyond surprised when I found someone selling this species. I would love to learn more about them even though I have no intention...

I found two red eared sliders in my pond which I try and keep turtles out of. They are both in bad shape one doesn't move much and has some shell rot(I think) and the other one is more active but looks like a raccoon attacked it. What do I do? Should I release them or nurse them back to health...

Hi I found an abandoned duck egg and I want to make sure it doesn't die if it is alive. I have it in a reptibator at 99 degrees. That's is all I know how to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I do not have an egg turner. I think the egg is from a mallard duck. PLEASE HELP ME! Yes...
