I have 4 NA wood turtles since 3/2019. I move them outside full time Spring 2020 and they have their own enclosure with no other turtles or tortoises. I just noticed on 1 out of the 4 a growth near it's lower jaw (angle of the lower mandible). They have a 5 foot stream with a 3x2 pond. I'm...

With the cooler weather here in Socal my leopards are spending more time in their heated enclosure outside. They inevitably poop/pee inside and it's a pain to clean and stinks. I was wondering what do you guys use so the wood doesn't get soaked or smell with time? Was thinking of using a second...

Looking for a light socket/fixture with cord/plug. Is there anything available that I can just screw into the lid or wall of my outdoor heated enclosure so I can add some 'daylight' inside with a timer. I will be using a standard LED bulb. I can't seem to find anything that's plug and play. Thanks

I live in Socal and am hoping to keep a couple waterland tubs outside full time with an aquarium heater. How do you guys maintain mosquito populations? I had some moving water and added some guppies but still had some activity. Not sure if it cooled down but now I added a mosquito dunk? I...

I have 3 radiated tortoise been quarantining for 3 months. Just did a stool O&P showing moderate (11-30) Nyctotherus and moderate (11-30) Entamoeba coli-like. Unclear how old they are, CB born probably mid 2018 (~ 6 months is my best guess). They are active and eat but growing very slowly. 2...

Limited experience with spotted turtles, so not sure if this is typical shedding or shell rot. I have seen fungus on the skin, which this spotted does not have, skin seems fine. I noticed it when I dry docked her for 2 hours to do a water change. Only reason why I ask is because I've never seen...

Picked up 2 radiated torts in August, 1 was 49 grams and 2nd was 38 grams the first day I had them. I think they were born May or June of this year. They've been kept in 4x2 AP cage with basking end around 95 and cool end around 88. At night I turn off all heating and lights, gets to room temp...

Recently had a 800-1000 gallon pond built with a waterfall in my backyard. What are some good options in Southern California for aquatic or semi-aquatic turtles that can live outdoors all year, it's north facing area with sun through 2pm, then complete shade in the afternoon? Not really...

What's the price difference typically between babcocki and pp?
