I know turtles have their house on their back,but why are they made in that way?E.g. The cheetah runs very fast in order to catch other animals so as to be fed. So,for what purpose do the turtles move so slowly? So as to be cought easily and be eaten by stronger animals....?

How should I hibernate my
Russian Torts in my home?
Outside is too dangerous, any
suggestions?

I was thinking about hibernating all of my torts this december and waking them up in februrary. This should be long enough right? I was wondering how I could get them to hibernate safely. Could I lower the temps in their room? And then when they are hibernating, but them in a temp regulated fridge? I would be placing boxes of dirt in their pen so they dig into there, and then placing the boxes in the fridge... Would this work? I need to know, so I can get everything ready. i know its early, but still.

My common map turtle was feeding on its aquatic turtle food, as it usually does, when I saw this black thing hanging from inside its opening in its tail. It might be his penis but I'm not sure. Does this sound bad for it, maybe even life-threatening? If you have any links or contact numbers that I could use, that would be great!

Do dead baby tortoises float upside down like fish? I can't tell if my new tortoise is asleep or passed away! He's very still, just curled up in the corner of his tank. I don't want to bother him because he has had a stressful day being shifted into a new environment I hope it didn't finish him off.

I keep a red desert heat lamp on all the time, and I keep the mosture level between 20 and 40 percent. The temperature is around 100 degrees in the daytime and between 80 and 90 at night. She has a uv light, a full spectrum light and the heat lamp. I also have a ceramic heater going over the top of the tank to keep it dry. When she eats, she only will eat Brusell's sprouts and meal worms. I have some dry adult Iguana food in there for her if she wants it, but I think she had such a loss of calcium when I got her that her gums aren't very good now, and chewing is hard. She is trying desperately to shed, but huge pieces of skin are haning on her back. She has never managed to shed completely since I've had her. I put her in a warm water bath to bask a couple of times a day. I am told she is probably not quite an adult, because she is small, but since she doesn't eat well and never had the light or habitat she should for so long, she could just be small from starving. Thanks.

When I moved into my new home the Mali was left her by the former owners. She was in very bad shape. That was nine months ago and I have been trying everything I can think of and taking her to the vet, and nothing makes her healthy. I have all kinds of lights, have tried all kinds of underlayments and climbing and hiding fixtures in her habitat. She has a pool and heaters under the tank, Calcium and other supplements. Every time I think we are doing better, she starts losing her skin and is at death's door again. Right now she is worse than she has ever been. She hasn't eaten anything in three weeks or defecated in a month. The vet has me putting baby food around her mouth. I am so depressed and scared of losing her, I don't know what to do. My Liza is just shriveling right in front of me. Please help if you know about Malis.

The little dark green snake was last spotted in December.I thought it might have found its way out.My garage is a little junkie.I have empty boxes, blankets,shoes,and a deepfreezer in there and some other stuff in there. If it is in there where could it be hiding .Could it have survived seen December with no food .There may have been a few roaches that are attracted to the heat from the bottom of the deep freezer.There was 14 hamsters that disapeared over night most of them babies.There was nothing left but a hair ball in cage.Just knowing that it may be in there is creeping me out.If the snake is in there how do I find where could it be hiding?.Also how do I get rid of it?

I'm looking for russians. I am starting a captive breeding program and would like any torts I can get. If your tort is sick and you dont want to take care of it, please email me. We can work something out, and the tort will recieve the best of care from our herp-doc, Sue.

If you know of anyone who wants to get rid of some russians, please let me know. I can pay shipping charges, but I would like to wait until spring. Then they will all be outside in their huge enclousure.

My captive babies will be selling for $80 males, $90 females. I want to provide people with babies that wont cost a fortune and are cheaper than most places.

Thanks for any help!
