    Outdoor enclosure question....ventilation?

    So I've built an outdoor enclosure for the colder months. It dips into the 20's on average where I am during winter. Maybe low 40's in the fall. Sometimes it gets to right above zero (and possibly even negatives), but that lasts for about a day or two and that's uncommon. Anyways, the...

    Weed identification...Georgia

    So having an issue with a weed in the yard. It's not been here before and I'm not sure if the tortoises can eat it. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

    Hardy plants for shade

    I guess I should have deleted this earlier as I saw some posts regarding this and read those afterwards. I went to the store and got some hostas and have planted a couple and will plant the other two tomorrow. I wasn't sure about the hibiscus because I wanted something that would create a lot...

I have two sulcatas that have an indoor enclosure and outdoor enclosure (separate). One is roughly 4 years old. The other is about 2 years old. Their outdoor enclosures...

Honestly, I've left him (I think him...though not sure) in his enclosure for about a week without interacting too much and when I did interact I...

    Opuntia (Prickly pear) species

    He (or she) is a Sulcata (African spur-thighed) tortoise. I don't mind taking time to get spines off (will burn them with a torch and then go over them with heavy-duty gloves). He's only a couple of months old so it's not like he'll be eating entire pads any time soon. I also have a bearded...

    Opuntia (Prickly pear) species

    I was curious if there was a specific species of this cactus that is necessary or if there are any species that are absolutely not to be eaten. The climate in my area is suitable for growth of very few species and I wanted to get a Santa Rita cactus (Opuntia gosselinenia...or something) to...
