I would like to wish my wonderful daughter a happy birthday! I'm so proud of you everyday. I love you. Please post your turtle or tortoise pictures for Lyns. ❤️🎂🐢
So I'm taking Ink for a stroll in the front yard..
And spot this snake. I don't think it's a copperhead (I have had many in my yard) however I think it is a garter snake?? I picked up Ink, got him safe inside. I kinda knew in the yard where it was, so I grabbed a shovel, but it was gone. Please...
I need to say a very big thank you to @DoubleD1996! And @Maggie3fan . Paxton loves his fruit, vegetable, mushroom and lettuce mixture. He now gets his mix one day and protein the next. He wasn't eating enough veggies and fruit. However he seems to like this mixture a lot. Double D was helpful...

I just received this equatorial Forest floor and ..yes that is a cigarette butt sealed in the bag. Chewy is refunding me and sending a new one. So gross. Clearly not so natural.
Here is my new desert box turtle. I would like to thank @zovick for giving me the link to fauna classifieds. Paxton is doing great. He was 15 grams when I got him 10/29/22 and now he is 38 grams. It took a couple of weeks for him to eat, so I hand feed him mealworms. This was suggested from a...
