I don't see a problem with occasional hand feeding. It can make for some nice photos.

I have a Canon T3i and have managed to take some pretty amazing shots with it. Also have a bunch of additional lenses. It's cheap for a DSLR, but have still have probably spent over $1500 for everything. Camera, extra lenses, small accessories. Here is a photo I use as a signature on other...

Oh god. A smart phone now? *looks up release date* July 25th ?!?! ugh. Sorry, I work at an Amazon.com Warehouse. This means I'm gonna be seeing PALLETS of the phone come in this week and next week. Assuming they don't cut back on shipments after the FireTV sales failure (it may be a good...

King snakes eat rattle snakes. Would you rather be rid of the king snake and have a higher risk of seeing a rattle snake (or worse, *not* seeing it until its too late)?

Nice find. I used to see them all the time in the local park while over turning rocks along a certain trail. But lately the only thing I've found under the rocks is ant colonies. Think it's gutting time for me to leave the trail to do some searching.

Prickly Pear Cactus is often used for tortoises. But you can't plant it *in* the enclosure or table. You need to grow it where your tortoises can't reach it and harvest the new growth for your tortoises since the old mature growth contains high levels of Oxalic Acid which blocks calcium...

Never tried myself. I imagine it would be a long and slow walk :p

To the best of my knowledge, the petshop doesn't breed him, so nope. But, I'm hoping my little one turns out to be a female. Then I can try and get them to let me mate her with him. If they are reluctant, I'll offer some of the babies that hatch.

Supposedly native north american grasses are non-toxic, however, many grasses native to other countries (many of which have been brought to the USA) have cyanide in some type of bond with another chemical such as Glocose which forms a Cyanogenic Glycoside, in bamboo it's Taxiphyllin. When in...

indoors, on a stone block or in a plate. outside i just toss the food on the rocky ground

I would be careful with bamboo because the tortoises may try to eat it. Bamboo contains high levels of cyanide which gets released when the cells get damaged, regular eaters of bamboo have a means to detoxify the cyanide. Cooking and processing bamboo removes the cyanide from it (so even...

my little baby, around 4 months old currently (estimation, figure she was a month old when I got her 3 months ago). Always weighed after feeding time. 5/3/14 51 grams 5/17/14 59 grams 6/15/14 64 grams 7/11/14 72 grams

please note my response above, it isn't completed yet. It till have more hides, lighting, decor, and I hope to add live plants as well. Especially come winter time when they will be living in it instead of being outside. Also planning on putting springtails or something else in the substrate...

Removing for rehab or relocation due to construction (or local 'evil' kids) is perfectly fine imo. But as for keeping as a pet, there are many factors to take into consideration when it comes to taking *any* reptile out of the wild A. Is that species even available in captivity? If the species...

Tortoises have evolved the ability to wright themselves, but it's not always possible for them to do so depending on the circumstances. If I see one of mine upside down waiting for me to find it then I assume it was a case where they couldn't wright themselves and give them a hand.

This is a picture of Louise (my baby Sulcata) and a 14 year old fully grown Sulcata named Percy. Louise is a Sulcata I bought from a pet store about 3 months ago. Currently she weighs 72 grams Percy is a 14 year old Sulcata that lives at that pet store and is basically a mascot for the store...
