Hello! I am looking for an adult female Indian Star Tortoise for sale. Preferably already laying clutches or close to breeding age. If anybody has any or knows of any please let me know. Thanks :-)

O no yours look great though I see what you're talking about! Im so jealous I want them. How much do they weigh? And did you get them as hatchlings? So are tye about 14 years? I too went into Sulcatas without knowing everything about humidity. I just didnt know if soaking daily and access to...

Thanks so much everybody! Those are beautiful Yvonne! And sooo big :). I just didn't know also about raising them in St. Louis inside half the year because of the humidity. I don't want them to pyramid. And looking at Adalbramans tortoises he raises in Florida with high humidity all year makes...

Thanks so much Yvonne for the response!! Where do you live? And do they even come outside to graze in the winter when it's really cold? And how big is the barn and do you have any pictures?? Thank You!

And the only reason I thought it might be possible is because the St. Louis zoo here has about 8-10 large Aldabras who have to spend all winter inside in a cage I know I could eventually replicate the size whenever the tortoise gets that large.

Hello guys! Raising an Aldabra Tortoise has always been a dream of mine. I was wondering if anybody raises or successfully raises Aldabras in the Midwest. I live in St. Louis, Missouri and am dieing to get an Aldabra yearling. I really want one but want to know opinions of if it's even smart to...

Anyone else?

Yep def need a pic of the tail. Just sold a male that was sold to me as female and he was 12 inches with a perfectly smooth plastron.

Thanks a lot!! I haven't bought them yet. Im thinking about buying them from a guy tomorrow for a STEAL!! But I was leery because he doesnt know the locale. And i want to breed them so would it be dumb trying to breed them and selling the babies without knowing the locale? He said he bought them...

Hey guys I didn't know if any of y'all have or are experts with Leachie Geckos as well. I'm looking to buy two Leachianus geckos and if you know anything about them, There are several different types of them depending on which island they came from. Well the guy selling them doesn't know which...

Hey guys I need your help. I have a huge infestation of bugs in my closed chamber enclosure. I have always used Eco earth or top soil as substrate before I built my new closed chamber enclosure. But when I built this new cage I switched to cypress mulch. I've noticed some flying bugs in there...

Well the whole end piece will be on a hinges. I'm not putting hinges directly on the plexi if that's what your saying. The piece with the lights is 3ft and the piece of wood with the plexi in it is 5ft long and that whole 5ft piece of wood will be on hinges. [hr] And thanks yes it has been a lot...

Just have to screw on the hinges for the door and put on the door handle and it'll be finished!!

Yea lol maybe I'll just make the substrate extra deep and then just fill in holes if I see them starting to dig.

this will only be their temporary winter home. Once I buy a new house next year I'm going to building them a huge enclosure the size of a whole room or bigger. And I'll just use this cage for my Indian Stars. Or possibly some leopard tortoises I want to get.

Maybe I should put a liner in it but I probably won't on the inside because that's why I put the Epoxy on the inside floor was because I had lenolium and the Sulcatas were just ripping it up unfornatly. I wish they weren't diggers lol [hr] *Maybe I should put a liner under it

Ok thanks a lot for the tips. I may put something under it. But where it will be it wont be on concrete. I have a finished basement and it's carpeted.

Ok thanks good idea didn't think about it cracking. Wish I just could have built it inside so I wouldn't have to move it but I figured the fumes would kill everything in my basement lol And it will just be sitting on the floor. [hr] Does it crack easily? I hope not because I'm going to have to...

Hey guys just thought I would show a few pics of the process of building this new cage for my Sulcatas. It's not finished but hopefully it will be in the next week after I let it air out. Here's a few pics of actually putting it together last night. I still have to stain the wood around the...
