For our shelled friends - tortoise & turtle discussion!
I have 2 RES's they are about 5 cm and 7 cm in carapace length. Right now, I have them in a 30 gal. long Zilla Critter Cage. 1000 I know this is not large enough for them as adults, but I was wondering how large a tank I should get and how to know when they should move up to the bigger tank. ...
i just wondered of anybody else on here keeps this species? i have to say that i love my trio, they are such curious animals. they can climb, run, flip themselves over and have a serious novelty appeal. i house mine in an 8ftx 2ft viv with lots of rocks to make caves and hides. i currently...
I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I have a hatchling Sulcata tortoise in a large vision cage, i was thinking about getting a Leopard tortoise to keep in the same enclosure for the time being. Seeing as they are both African Tortoises does anyone see this as a bad idea and why?
question, are all tortises skittish? like will they always pull there head whenever you move near them/touch them? every one ive seen does but does it get tame like a snake? im thinking particularly of leopard tortises here, but any tortise that isnt so skiddish.

My brother inlaw and I went to this house to talk to this guy, well, on our way out, I noticed a tank with some real nasty water in it. Like sewer looking water. so clowdy and dirty you can't see through it. I saw a head poking out of it. And then I seen a turtle in it. This tank looks to be a 30...

I bought a pair of infamous "mini turtles" from the corner of China Town in New York City. These two baby turtles, about the size of a half dollar were in this little plastic tank. I've discovered they were none other than hatchling RES, maybe about 3 weeks old? One still has the shell tooth. ...
I have had little box turtles in the past, and I want to get into bigger tortoises, what would be a good one to go with? I like the Sulcatas, and the Leopard's. But if a different species would be better to go with, then I am open to suggestions. Also any info that I should know is appreciated. And...
