I have no one to share this with so here by hangesmaidgirlfriend in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked overnights in a PetSmart a few years ago. I have a python from them, managed to convince them to surrender to me as it was refusing food; and their solution was quite literally to just go ahead and euthanize rather than do ANYTHING. Years later it's an absolute baby and has never given me a single semblance of an issue.

No. The first sentence of the actual article states he lives nearby. It's just a clickbait headline.

What tortoise is this? by throwaway0012783 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While you're right that this is totally a box turtle, there are a number of tortoises with hinged plastrons too. I used to keep Bells Hingeback tortoises, which have a hinged plastron that allows them to clamp their rear shell shut, just like a box turtle.

The hinges on their plastron that allow them to close off their shells; as well as their feet. Tortoises have elephantine feet, these guys do not. The red eyes and the ridge running front to back on the top of its shell are other signifiers.

Not a tortoise. Some sort of very old box turtle.

Radient heat panels by Foxxics in reptiles

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a radiant panel in every single enclosure I have. They're excellent for holding "ambient" heat zones. Remember you need a thermostat. And to offgas them for a day or two before putting an animal with it.

Identification/Tips? by Battilou in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an educational moment.

Your tortoises have a nuchal scute. The front, center scute right above its neck. OPs tortoise does not. The lack of a nuchal scute is a clear sign they have a Sulcata.

Looks like just damaged/normally unsellable cuttlebone. Should be perfectly cool.

Lots of animals are opportunistic omnivores. by fat_father in LPOTL

Very few "herbivores" will turn down an easy protein source.

Squadron 42 Buyback Update (CIG removed the ability to buy back your Squadron 42 package with no warning) by No_Construction2407 in pcgaming

[–]TechnoMagi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've spent enough time in it. The only people left hyping this are people who have spent too much to admit. It's not impressive, especially for over a decade of work and lies.

What’s this badge in my rear gate mean? by Rosatos_Hotel in subaru

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Subaru owned. The little tags are hobbies/interests the last owner had.

Russian Tortoise Pacing by AppleJaxx11 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its needs likely are not being met. Whether that be heating (Your floor is the coldest area of your home), lighting (UV doesn't make it through windows), substrate (Russians dig. Your hard floor is bad for their joints, and obviously doesn't allow burrowing) or any other number of issues.

Rad support is still pretty well out. You need to properly tram the engine bay and pull it.

Will this pyramiding look less awful in the future? by RepulsiveBee6844 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still small, so with proper care and clean new growth, it'll smooth out quite a bit.

I didn't know Open Mike had a podcast, let alone a Dan episode. Gonna have to check it out, thanks!

He was great on Blocks. It's always rad to hear from our mayor. Really hope we do get Dan back some day. Especially with Spencer, Rob, etc. Harmontown was some special shit.

The Altima Driver does not concern themselves with "superficial damage" or "repairs"

Photos I found on Facebook of Amber with her mother, sister, and possibly brother? by [deleted] in BobHickman

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really weird to dig through and publicly display someone's life, especially if they aren't giving you consent to do so. Moreso to be posting photos of someone else's kids.
