[SOLVED]: Sulcata need help, swollen gland. Kidney stone? here is an update on the little sulcata. soak him this morning but no excrement probably all came out yesterday during the micro-surgery. here he is re-charged after soaking and tanning in the sun http://youtu.be/eftTtF2zHT4...

Hi all, thanks so much for the encouraging words and yes i am very fortunate that my sulcata has passed his ordeal. My suspect of this happening is probably the tap water from my area that contains too much mineral. The same problem (kidney stone) happened to my 5 years old labrador. Will be...

Hi jacqui, unfortunately we didnt even had an xray before the removal. I am crossing fingers that its all clear in there. There isnt really any good reptil vet in my area. This happens to be a simple procedure that i didnt even think he could do but tried anyway.

hi all, just to update on the progress of my sulcata with bladder/kidney stone. after trying to remove the stone via daily soak still doesnt work. until now i can wait patiently enough anymore and brought him to a local vet (which doesnt even handle tortoise/reptile). i figure the problem is not...

Hi i have been researching on what is wrong with my sulcata but to no specific information on my problem. I have just noticed that my tortoise has this huge swollen gland near the base of its tail and a bit of feces? seems to be stuck there with more inside. Could this be kidney stone or else...

@emysemsy & dalano Thank you for your replies, that clears up a lot of things. Bravo TTF! Btw these are the tortoises we are talking about: Thanks once again.

wow that was quick! thanks for that. it looks a lot like what you said. now the question, is the flower edible for tortoises on regular basis.

@emysemys & ??Len?? Thanks for both of your replies very much appreciated. I am now aware that what i have is for sure wandering jew. I have started to feed my tortoise and they seem very fond of it. While at it could anyone help me identify this flower type/plant. I have these blooming as...

Hi guys, i have a lot of the following shrubs and vines growing in my garden. I am just wondering if they are safe for sulcatas? I planted a few in their pen and seems they are eating the lower bits that they can reach. Just wondering what are these plants and whether they are safe as a diet to...

@wrmitchell & @madkims thanks for the quick response. Will do just that. I am actually in south east asia and i have baby sulcatas and indian stars. Weather is very hot and humid but can get pretty chilli at night times. Do they tolerate cooler temp and if so what is the minimum temperature they...

Hi again fellow TTF. Hope i am not posting in the wrong forum page. Anyway i am just wondering about the difference between a branded spot light such as exoterra sun glo vs regular spot light say OSRAM or phillips. Need to justify the price difference betweem the two. While at it i am also...

So sorry, but that image doesnt belong to me and i dont want to take credit for it. I found that in one of the listing here. Anyway but i get the message and see how it is done now. Thanks a lot for all the quick replies. Cheers. Just another quick question, if he pees doesnt that stinks the...

Hi i am new at keeping tortoise and happen to own a sulcata tortoise which is around 7 cm. My newbie question is how you keep the bottom layer substrates clean? I have seen a lot of set up with soils and even planted. Dont your tortoises expel all the dirty stuff onto the soils? I am aware that...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.. will start posting into the main forum now. Cheers!

Can't say I have unfortunately. Local zoo here is not really a zoo but a private pet collections of a very wealthy businessman. But a Sumatran Rhino i believe is not amongst the exhibit.[hr] They are nile tilapias, or we call it the local cichlids. These fishes are largely available even for...

just sharing more pictures of my turtles Looking to getting more tortoises. Any recommendations what to get next?

Yeah I realised that also, just wondering how this can be stopped then? As per other user that recommend humidity I did let him roam around in my indoor garden a few days after I got him (caging at night). But then he developed the flu which I thought may due to him roaming around in a pretty...

Hi, just a shout and introduce myself. I'm Steven from Medan, North Sumatra of Indonesia (the island where the tsunami hits in 2004). Anyway here are my tortoise sulcata and turtles. I am originally into turtles owning a few. As such: 1x Alligator Snapping Turtle (sub-adult around 30 cm) 1x...
