It has always been a dream of mine to have radiated tortoises. I am going to be spending the next few years designing an indoor huge, elaborate enclosure for a baby radiated tortoise hatchling (which I plan to acquire my first in about 5 years max)! Since I am going to school to be an exotic...

Hello! :) Sugar and Sapphire are now 5 months old! Since spring is coming soon, I think it's time to talk about their growth - they don't seem to have grown very much. They look healthy to me, any opinions would be appreciated! We will probably be doing an outdoor enclosure for summer so they...

Here they are! I was just wondering how their growth looked because it looks like Sugar might be starting to get the first growth ring. They hatched on October 5, so they're about 2 months old now.

They love it!! :) I still have the other half of the terrarium to decorate, but I tried to make it look as much like a "turtle paradise" as possible - about 5 minutes after being introduced to the new environment when I took this pic, Sugar was "diving" right into the new soaking dish, and...

Here they are!! Sugar and Sapphire, the 1-month-old EBT hatchlings, burrowing in some moss. The pics were taken about 5 minutes ago. Enjoy :)

Ever since our little Sammy (chihuahua, Pom, pug mix) passed away, we have wanted a dog. I have an 8 year old female cat "Ducky," a 4 year old male guinea pig "Butterscotch," and 2 hatchling eastern box turtles "Sugar and Sapphire." We are considering getting a Euro blue Great Dane. Great Danes...

I couldn't believe this! My Eastern box turtle eggs are hatching thanks to all that helped here on tortoise forum! This really is a miracle! The began hatching yesterday, and one has fully hatched since then, one is partially hatched, and the other two aren't cracked. The one that hatched...

Look who I just found on the road [hr] He feels really light but what does this mean? He's wild, about 4 in long shell, midland painted turtle. Very cute.

I'm want to get a hatchling star-- Indian or SL. It's taken me along time to finally decide what type of tort to get, but I'm pretty sure this is my final decision. I won't be getting one for a while, though. But rit now I have a 36"x18"x12" exo terra natural terrarium with extra ventilation...

Looking for a star tortoise under $400 Hi, I haven't been on the forum in a few weeks but I've decided a star tortoise would be best for me, I'm making a homemade indoor enclosure 4' by 3' or possibly a little smaller. Te problem is-- they're SO expensive!! If anyone could PLEASE reccomend one...

I am very confused about this egg, and worried. It's dark on one side & white on the other, maybe getting darker on the one side. Is it a dud? I am very confused..please help!!! [hr] It is a one day old eastern box turtle egg if this helps.

This was unexpected. We were getting ready to return her to the spot we found her in a few days. Well, we have a very large outdoor enclosure for her, but she climbed over the screen, and started digging a nest last night!! Now she's laying eggs!! I am so excited but she appears to be laying...

She crawled out of her outdoor enclosure, we were planning to let her go in a few more days. Found her in our yard digging a hole--she's been at it for over 2 hrs now, wondering if she may lay eggs? So just in case I built a makeshift enclosure with window screens and rocks. THANKS FOR ANY HELP...

My little 5-yr old chahuahua/pug/Pomeranian mix has "poppy kneecaps". A few years ago, he began limping with one back leg up. We were concerned, but he pulled out of it after about 2 weeks and seemed fine after that. We asked the vet, which is very experienced, knowledgable, and very good with...

Let's see some beautiful close ups of your turtles and tortoises!!! :) [hr] Wild Eastern box turtle, there is some damage to its shell from an animal attack maybe?? Anyway, very cute turtle!, takes some great close ups B)

This is my Eastern box turtle. Got it off a nature trail for a turtle race, keeping it outside, letting hunt for itself so it doesn't forget how, had for about a week. The turtle race is tomorrow, wish the little turtle good luck!! Letting him go back into the wild after the race. :)
