    Hatchling losing weight

    I have three hatchling radiateds. All of them were gaining weight consistently until now. One of them has suddenly taken a turn. When I got him he was 86g on 8/21/22 on 9/19 he weighed 113g. Still seems fine and eats well but he keeps bouncing between 107 and 110. The others are now about 125g...

    Looking for another rad in FL

    I got my first radiated 3 years ago and would love to start building a herd. Idk if Daytona is happening this year but if it is I’ll be there. If anybody knows anyone that has any hatchlings or young ones I’d appreciate the info. Thanks!

    I killed my Leopard. What went wrong?

    So I got a small Leopard tortoise at the Daytona show in August. This was my first leopard tortoise. I would estimate that it was at least 6 months or so. It was not a fresh hatchling. I had an indoor tub and an outdoor pen. I raised it the same as I did the Radiated tort that I have and redfoot...

    Moving to CA w/out permit

    I have a small radiata and live in Tampa. I will soon have to move to CA but have no time to get a permit. I don't want to give him up. What do you think the odds are that the TSA will know what species I have? Or does anyone have any advice?

    New Radiated but worried. Please calm me down.

    So I got my first radiated in Daytona on Saturday. I am super excited but she does not move. She does not hide or stay in the corner. She stays right where I put her. She looks fine and I know she needs to adjust but I'm still worried sick. I need someone to tell me it's going to be ok.

    Moldy eggs

    I've got a clutch that was laid in August. I'm thinking they aren't good. One is moldy and dark. Should I pitch them?

    Building a night box this weekend.

    Wish me luck. I'm dreading this but if this turns out good I will be so happy! Figured I'd take pictures as I go. Wanted to ask about heating. Panel or radiator? I found this radiator for only $30 on Amazon. Says it will heat 70 sqft. I'm doing a 4x4'. Think it will work?

    Old lawnmower injury

    Is there anything I should/could do for this girl? This is an old injury. She is doing great but didn't know what I could do about it.

    Prices for Elongated

    I was looking back through old Facebook posts and I found a few posts of elongateds being sold for as much as 650 just a few years ago. Many were being sold for 400. Does anyone know what's going on in the market? Are we being flooded with imports or are a lot of people starting to breed them?

    Adding door to plastic bin

    So I am wanting to modify a bin I'm using. Right now it's an open top but I am wanting to put the lid on it. It's not a clear bin so I was thinking about making a door out of some clear acrylic. Has anyone else done this? This is only going to be used as an indoor knight box or housing when I'm...

    Silly non-herp people

    My neighbors have kept this "tortoise" in their backyard for 8 weeks! I can't believe It's still alive.

    New YFs

    Did I get a male and a female? Paid $100 each. Is that good? I've kept RFs but never YFs any tips? There was a reptile show today and this was an impulse buy.

    Incubator at 93% RH

    Is this a bad thing? I think I added too much water to the hovabator. I'm incubating RF eggs. Thanks!

    Tiny white flies

    Today, when my hatchling RF was in his water dish, I noticed tiny white flies walking around his shell and face. I've seen mites on snakes and these did not look like that. I counted 5 in total. Not sure if I'll be able to get a pic because they are so small. Any idea what they may be or how to...

    Just got six RF eggs!

    A while back I got a couple infertile clutches from a young male. These are from a mature male so I'm hoping they are viable. Just wanted you guys to checkout and criticize. I have 8 ventilation holes, is that adequate? Thanks!

    Giant redfoots

    I wish I could remember the show but it was some Steve Irwin wanna be, snake guy. Anyway, he was in the Amazon and he found a tortoise crossing a stream. It appeared to be a redfoot (what else would be in the Amazon?) but it was massive! Shortly after I saw a redfoot at a reptile show that was...
