I have several turtles which I I acquired as hatchlings, they are healthy and growing just fine. However my red ear slider has barely grown at all, it's only slightly larger than its original quarter sized hatchling phase.
It's eating, healthy, awesome shell,bright and energetic,and gets...
Again I appreciate everybody's feed back and concerns, but my animal husbandry experience is vast. I had my own duck farm at age 8, raised orphaned fox pups to adulthood at age 12, and had just about every reptile the public has access to. My vet shows no alarm at how I am doing things, his...
I appreciate all your feed back, that's why I posted this pic. I have been doing this for years and although I am housing different species together, they are all thriving. I am very in tune to their specific needs and environments but like all children raised together they get along just fine'...
They range in age from currently 9 months to 2 years, I have had the since hatchlings. I also stream the habitat 24/7 live so i can watch them from anywhere, their have been a few times I have asked my brother to stop by and flip them the back over. I feel it's a life saver and easy to install.
Why not take it out in stages and placed it in a colander then place it in the sink. It will drain a lot easier, I do this with all my bedding that I wet down.
I recently purchased a Russian Tortoise from Carol S, I have to say it was the best experience ever. My tort was vibrant, bright and raring to go right from his shipping container, the greens couldn't come fast enough for him. If anyone is looking for one of these torts look no further and give...
Yes I do have separate zones to meet dry and humid climates, but they aren't cordoned off and many times I find a dry tort in a humid zone and vice versa. I have 6 torts in total, 2 yellow foots, 1 leopard, 1 Hermans, 1 cherry head 1 red foot. Their are always exceptions to every rule but let...
I lived in that same area 13 years ago, Arlington to be specific. Back then for me it was Sulcatas, when making your decision keep in mind longevity and space. That clay soil bakes solid like a brick in the Texas heat, if keeping outdoors you also need a deep hide to provide some cooling so you...
Well guess I'll play the devils advocate here since I have red foots and leopards housed together and haven't had any problems. I just pay close attention to dietary needs and things just go from their, won't get into other species I have housed together without any problems and I have been...
