Do you have an istagram or website? I'm looking for a baby leopard. I'm from northern California. please email me at [email protected].

Hi Tom! Do you mind if I ask question related to sulcata outdoor enclosure? I’ve been planning to build one for my hatchling (2months), but unsure about the temps. I live in Indonesia, during the day temps usually 30-33’c, but I’am afraid it’s too hot. I’m planning to put him outdoor after 3pm when temps is a bit colder, around 24-27’c.

Is it murder when a Vet puts your pet down against your wishes without ever knowing what is even wrong with your pet ??

Hi! Im a new “mom” to a beautiful babe redfoot tortoise names Toby. Toby is almost 2yrs old now. We are building him a big outdoor enclosure completly surrounded and covered with chicken wire to protect him from birds or other wildlife. We live in south Louisiana so its very hot and humid here in the summer. And i plan on building Toby a insulated hide with some type of heating before he moves outdoors for good.

Hi, urgent info required. My tortoise Shelby is not well. He came out of hibernation 2 weeks ago and will not eat.
I’ve bathed him most days and had a heat lamp on him from time to time. He isn’t very responsive and looks unwell. If anyone can help I would appreciate.

Hi !
I have two leopards (pardalis babcocki) now 4 inch in size I got them exactly before 9 months when they were may be 3 months old. my question to you is that one is growing very smooth where as the other seems to have a little upper growth especially on the top middle line of scutes. The humidity in their enclosure stays around 60% in the hide and I keep them on coco coir in a tortoise table semi indoors

Hi Tom you seem like the go to guy for questions. I have multiple tortoises all juvenile. But I have a yellow footed hatching. I am using coco coir substrate but he seems annoyed by it. Is there something else I should be using due to his age?

Chanhassen, MN Rehoming:
2 Redfoot tortoises with a hatch date of Aug 28, 2021. I purchased from a reputable AZ breeder just after hatch date. I don’t know gender but I do want to keep them together. They bask, eat, hide & do “tortoise things” together.
No shell, beak or nail problems. Neither have ever been sick that I know of. They are not picky eaters.
Very friendly. They will eat out of our hands & let us give

I have rescued to Russian Tortises and I’m kind of a beginner, any tips are appreciated 😊

We built the your plan night box. Well Charlie has grown to 78 lbs. When it is time to build a bigger one? At 15 degrees right now in texas and we are having trouble keeping the box at a steady temperature. We hung a small space heater to help with the temps. Is there a better way? Not sure why it is not holding the heat as good and if the fluctuation going from 71-100 is even good every 53 min?

I have a African sicata tortoise i don’t know the sex or how old it is, my cousin who passed left it behind, so IM now taking care of it, everything looks good with it, but i have not seen it once drink any water, i have have given it , cucumbers and hay and some romaine lettuce, along with tutle pellets it doesn’t seem interested in so now it doesn’t get any, i often moist the leafy greens, and it soaks 3x a week,

Hi all,
First time member here. I’m not sure how to post here, I hope this is the proper approach for support. I am so glad to have found this forum! I need help with our little foot. Once I have confirmation of this being the way to go, I will share our situation.
Thank you!

I was told you might be able to help me. I posted pictures on the thread... "few days ago she said she wanted us to look at Tortie because she thought she saw another crack. I am up loading a couple pictures of his shell. I don't see a crack like the last time. And as I was doing some reading on this Forum I am hoping for some help. Thanks in advance."
