turtle

My cousin in Mooresville, NC, the new home of Petty Racing Enterprises, is setting up a 40 gallon terrarium tank for her three kids. They have a breeding pair of anoles, a small turtle and a couple of skinks. I gave them some fly traps, drosera and a small pitcher plant that I thought they...

okay...i saw this so called "canned bugs" made my exo terra. looks very interesting but are they safe?? they are cheaper than live and more fun than normal turtle food (currently what i use) anybody got some ideas? there are cricket, grasshopper, mealworms, snail and silkworm pupae

We just adopted a tiny baby Texas River Cooter, and I wanted to see what experienced turtle people like best for lamps. I know this guy needs specific light so... Any advice helps, there's a lot of products and some of them look like junk. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience hatching box turtles? Last weekend an eastern box turtle decided to dig a nest in my yard. Because the yard is in the middle of being landscaped, it is not a safe place at all for little turtle eggs. After some research about eastern box turtles, I decided to dig up...

Curious if anyone else notices this on their turtles. I noticed a few scales in the water. and when i checked one of my guys had some loose scales, that i could pull off. Is this normal or a sign of a problem. Other than this they seem healthy, growing in leaps and bounds..

I had a mommy Eastern Painted Turtle dig a nest & lay eggs in my back yard yesterday! I have pics, but for some reason the connection here at work is SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOWWWW, so I will have to try and remember to post them when I get home. Woo hoo! Any of you herpos out there know the average...

Hello, I checked some of my still-dormant Sarracenia bulbs this morning and finally found a reason why my S. Leucophylla X "Willissii" wasn't sprouting yet.  A caterpillar had lodged itself hidden against one of the shoots and enjoying quite a feast.  I took the caterpillar and angrily threw it...

I have a ghost shrimp that was living with my turtle. Well the turtle died so now I have a ghost shrimp and I'm wondering if they need a air pump or if they can live without any. I'm going to move it to a plastic bowl.

In my shipment of plants I got last Thursday all the plants looked horrible except the N. Ventricosa 'Red'. I potted it in a four-inch plastic pot in sphagnum moss and put it by the window. The paper I got with it says the highland like temps of 50-70 with humidity of at least 50%. The temps by...

Hey guys, A friend has given me a tank, 36"x12"X24", which would have been pretty good to use for my turtle...except for the fact that it looks like a few deep scratches on it might just turn into stress fractures if filled with water. Not a good thing. I was thinking I could always use it...

I was out this weekend about 4 miles into the green swamp. I was in parts that looked like no other human had ever been ther or seen. I caught a huge slow moving turle. I took this pic, and then my batteries died, so this is the only pic I have of it. Any ideas what it is?

Here is a strange group of animals I found in the Pine Barrens: Bob, Joe, Mark (Tong), and Suzanne. It was very nice meeting up with all of you, and hope to do it again. Some frogs. A very shy Painted Turtle that took a dip before I could get close. Little Fence Lizard. Wasp nest...

Hi there, I just acquired an 80 gallon and 2 70 gallon tanks. Right now my turtles are living in the 70 gallon, with me cleaning out the water every 3 days. Luckily i have it set up to siphon out the window and put the hose in for cleaning at the same time which is almost like a filter. But this...

Today at the Beach Kavok (the family dog which is actually a pig in a dog suit) found the largest fossil I have ever seen. Well the largest I was able to take home that I saw (most museums don't like that). Since last fall when the paper reported the black tar-looking things on the beach were...
