I would say a month or two. SO cute though!!!:D

Working on creating a basking spot for my two RES. I have a pond...that is indoors, much to cold outside in MI (currently 12 without the wind), I am attempting to use a piece of plexiglas. I shall see if it holds the weight of my female RES. My RES female is 2 1/2 years old is about a foot...

I use a 3/8" clear hose to siphon out the water in my turtle tank.

I have two RES and the main filter in my tank just stopped working. I was wondering if anyone has a filter that they would recommend. I have my RES in a 32 gallon tote with about 15 gallons of water. I filter that just broke (after 3 months) is Zoo Med 501 the outside the tank filter. Any...

Sorry my two RES are only 2 years old.... I have yet to experience eggs. I hope somebody is able to help you.

The poor thing.... good thing you rescued it! My vet suggested feeding mine earthworms, feederfish (goldfish), berries (mine loves strawberries and blueberries).

I bought it, but my tort refuses to eat it. Zuri would much rather eat fresh grass, spring mix, weeds, and flowers.

what does MBD mean? I am still working on getting to know the alphabet soup! :D

I would say sulcata. I just got a sulcata hatchling two months ago and love it. My fiance and I discussed getting a tortoise and a large one before I got the sulcata. We both like the idea of having a large tortoise, which a lot of our family and friends don't understand.

Hi Kris and welcome to the forum!:D Do you have a pic of your sulcata?

RE: How To Raise Sulcata Hatchlings and Babies. How often do you recommend feeding a hatchling spring mix? and how much? Thank you for such a wonderful post it is very helpful to all of us that are new to sulcatas.:D

Hello Terry and welcome!:D

Wow! What beautiful bright colors!! :cool:

how cute!!!! Keep the pictures coming!

My RES had those too. If you can post a pic I would like you know for sure if it is what mine had. I took mine to the vet and they said to use iodine and a brush. You mix the iodine with water, so that it looks like tea (color) and then brush it onto the RES's shell. It then starts peeling off.

I started with a Three Toed box turtle. They are small in size and are pretty low maintenance. They also have a great personality.:D

My three toed likes fruits, veggies, earthworms, and feeder fish. Your's looks just like mine!

I have not heard of having a permit to keep a turtle or a tort. Are there specific species that need permits? or does it just depend on the state? Just curious:cool:

The substrate is 50% topsoil and 50% playsand, he had moved the box..... I try to leave grass so he can eat it through out the day.

:D Here are pictures of Sig and Twig my RES. Sig is a 2 year old male and is the smaller one in the pictures. Twig is a 2 year old female and is the larger one. She loves fish, where as Sig will not eat them!
