identification

Anyone know what kind of weed this is? I live in south Florida.

These Cactus grow on my property in Colorado. If I were to de-spike this cactus, can my sulcata eat it?? On a for sure pesticides free land, would just hate to kill them if they can be of a better use.

Hello, This is Horace. He's about 45 years old and he's been in the family for all of this time, but, we've never known what type of tortoise he is. We've looked at lots of pictures but none have looked very similar to Horace. We were just wondering if anyone can help us identifying him? Thank...

Hello! A tortoise has been passed down from a few family and friends because no one wanted to take care of this tortoise. I have never had a tortoise before but I plan on staying committed in giving this little guy all it needs! I was wondering if anyone recognizes the breed and gender?

So long story short, I'm being told this is a real Brazilian red foot (aka the Cherry head). However based on the coloring of the plastron it really makes me think that it's the Northern red foot, however I'm being assured that this is truly a Brazilian red foot. Are there any sure fire signs...

Does anyone have tips for harvesting and replanting weeds for the purpose of growing more for your tortoise? I am not sure if there are any good ways to replant weeds so that they survive and continue to grow. I also need help identifying these weeds that I am hoping to replant (The second and...

Had a person contact me knowing that I have desert tortoises I take care of & have on my property, he starts telling me that he had found a tortoise on the 14 freeway in Lancaster California. He saw it last second and swerved to avoid it and slammed on his brakes and ran back and got it before...

Do you think this cruentatum female has some albogulare blood in her? I’ve read that a curve in the hinge tells the difference? And more distinct keels also. What do you all think

Hello We bought Tolstoy from a breeder, as he had some juvenile Horsfields for sale and we liked their smallness and hardiness. All the research we did to look after a tort was based on this breed. When the tortoise was delayed the guy offered us a Hermanns instead, ready to go. We said no...
