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...
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!
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...
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?
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.
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?
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?
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...
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.
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...
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!
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...
