I am selling off my Sulcata herd which includes 1 male Ivory, two female 100% HETS, 1 male 66% HET and 1 regular sulcata. I've had these for almost 10 years now as hatchlings bought from Ripirian Farms. All are healthy and should be mating soon. Reason for selling them is I am getting too old to...

Einstina decided to nest for the 3rd time but 10 days earlier than normal. This makes it 18 eggs since September. She usually nests 4 or 5 times per season so let's see if she breaks her record of 19 this time.

Well, almost 1 month after the 1st egg hatched from the same clutch laid on 9-7-2012 we have another egg ready to hatch. Over 5 months in the making!

I have 5 EPT hatchlings for sale at $15ea. or all 5 for $60 plus shipping. They are abut the size of a quarter right now. Sorry, they move too fast to get a picture of them :D Please PM me if you are interested.

I have 3 Redfoot Hatchlings left for sale at $125 ea. plus shipping. These hatched on 12-1-2012 and are eating endive/escarole like crazy. Of course I will not be able to ship any until it warms up or you are close enough to pick them up. Please PM me with any questions. Hatchling #1...

Since I have a few eggs hatching and even more down the line I was wondering when you can actually call a hatchling a hatchling? I know when it first starts to peck/chew at the shell it's called a pip. Is it when it first sticks out a foot, head, whatever or is it when it is completely out...

Sometimes you almost forget and then this happens... There are 6 more left from Einstina's 1st clutch this year but 2 of them do not look too good but the other 4 look great! Oh, these are redfoot eggs. Taken August 1, 2012

I've been buying my orchard grass mostly online and paying ridiculous shipping charges($36 for 9 lbs.) plus the cost of the grass itself and needed to find a better source. I did some calling around some of my local farm feed stores and found a place that sells bales of orchard grass for $8.00 a...

Got this new 30' x 30' enclosure done and decided Kong had to be in there. Then Hoss decided to check out Kong....Hmmm he's too big for me!

Well Einstina has nested again right on schedule. I seen her scratching around the last couple days and of course today, the hottest day of the month at 98 F she decided to go for it. This is her 2nd clutch of 2012 and she laid 5 eggs this time so now I have a total of 12 eggs in the incubator...

About 3 weeks ago I noticed that one of my Sulcata was making a noise which at first I thought was just passing gas. Then I picked her up to take her outside and the sound was coming from her mouth when she pushed. When I turned her upside down, I noticed what I thought was a prolapse(sp?) so...

I've had Ivan(previously Ivy) my Ivory Sulcata since a hatchling of 2006 and recently I have noticed that he has found out that he has a penis. What he does is stand up high on all fours and then rocks his back end back and forth for a minute or so with it hanging out. After that it retracts and...

I've had Cheech & Chong now since 2005 and Coco since 2006 all as hatchlings. A few days ago I put Coco in with Cheech & Chong because she was getting too big with my other Sulcatas. Cheech(male) is the biggest at 16" and the two females are about 11" each. OK, here's the problem. Cheech &...

Went to the local McD's today and this guy just flew up and landed on my mirror. I couldn't believe what he did next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfhEcf2-_88

I was not expecting anything yet since my largest female Redfoot is only 6 years old and about 9" but today I went to put them away for the night and there she was digging a nest. Well, about 2 hours later she laid 4 eggs. Here are pics of all four as they were laid. I also have a video from the...

The Eastern Pond Turtle webcam is up and running for 2011 and is usually on between 8am to about 8pm everyday until fall. Stop by and take a look. I only have 3 adults left with one 3 year old I'll be introducing to the pond as soon as the water temp gets a little warmer...

It's finally starting to warm up so I thought I'd let everyone know and post the URL to the webcam. It's usually on fro 8am to 8pm PST. http://turtsntorts.com/tntcam/tntcam.htm

Before I cut these down and toss them, I was wondering what they are and if they would be any good for my Sulcatas or could they be bad for them?

My webcam is up and running again for 2009 and the temps are going to be in the 80's the next few days so all 6 of them should be out and basking. Drop on in and take a look: http://turtsntorts.com/tntcam/tntcam.htm Oh, turn off your sound or turn it down, the camera has a problem with sound...
