    Hello from Wildomar, CA

    Funny you should mention frogs. My husband and I love the sound of the frogs that a neighbor of ours down the street has. We just built a "frog pond" about 7' long, 4.5' wide, and 12" deep. We added pond plants and we put tadpoles in it. I am sure they are going to be Toads and not Frogs but...

    Hello from Wildomar, CA

    Thanks Rosemary. We have a reptile vet in Temecula. Thankfully I have only needed to take my tortoises on just a couple different occasions. Both times for respiratory infection which I hope everyone here knows is NOT like a cold us humans get. They must be treated. I will go in and...

    Thanks. I am posting that I found a tortoise and giving the area that it was found but not posting pictures or telling them the type. I require them to call and describe as well as send pictures if possible to prove ownership. Too many people will just claim that it is theirs if pictures are...

    Need help identifying the little guy.

    Found wandering in the wash behind homes in Murrieta, CA. Would like to know what type it is so I can provide the proper habitat and food. For now I am feeding it hay (I have some because that is one of the foods I feed my Sulcatas). I have also given it some dandelions and other weeds from...

    Hi all. My name is Lisa and I have 2 Sulcata tortoises that my husband got me for my birthday in 2008 plus a desert tortoise that my husband has had since he was about 10 years old. We then inherited a Sulcata tortoise from our neighbors when they lost their property and could not take him...

    How long does it take to hatch after the first pip

    Thanks. The timing could NOT be worse. We are leaving for Hawaii on Wednesday and I really was hoping they weren't going to hatch until we got back. :-( This is my first hatch and was so looking forward to watching the whole process. What should I put them on after they hatch and before...
