Hi,
Yesterday I noticed a small pink area on the side of my hermann tortoises plastron.
I noticed after taking her out of a soak. It seemed to go away that evening but is back again this morning.
She is eating and is as active as usual. She is also still pooing.
I have recently changed the...
Hello, my eastern hermann tort is probably still a little young, but I heard you can sex them sometimes at above 4 inches long, and the tort is a bit longer than that measuring straight horizontally down the shell. Casually curious, as the tort was I believe temperature sexed at a higher chance...
Just wanted to say thank you all for giving me advice in the beginning and seeing all the advice given in the past, I'm so glad I found you when I did. I thought I had everything together, but there probably would have been pyramiding due to ambient humidity issues, and he has a nice varied...
Please help - respiratory infection
We had bark as our hermann tortoises substrate which was suggested to us. We think he must have caught himself on it or some furniture and has had sepsis as a result. We took him to the vets for a course of antibiotics (10 injections). The sepsis has gone but...
New here not sure if I’m doing this right but I’m so stressed and upset 😭 today I realised my younger tortoise died and I’m unsure why (the end of last year I thought I was going to lose him but thought he was attempting to hibernate not sure 😭)
He always slept a fair bit so didn’t think much...
My 2 year old hermann just did this weird liquidy looking poop in the bath. Does anyone know what this is? Should I take him to the vets ASAP?
I’m really concerned :(
Please help

So far I think things have been going well.. he tends to sleep quite a lot, which I’m not sure is normal but when he’s awake he tends to be quite...
Hey!
My brother has recently bought his first tortiose; a 2 year old Hermann's tortoise, and is looking for feeback on his enclosure. We have a UVB light and reflector above the mesh at the top of the enclosure, and a 100W ceramic bulb for heat. Although we plan to get a radar thermometer, the...
I have fasted my hermann for 3 weeks now with daily soaks, where he also drinks, he started to poop a couple days ago but never managed to get it all out. I was waiting for him to pass it ready to put him in the fridge today but he still hasn’t had this poop come out. Do I wait another week and...

Hi all
I’ve had my Hermanns now for about 2 months and it’s going well! However, just wanted to see people’s opinion on who active she has been for the last couple of weeks.
She is only about a year old and and has been pretty active through the summer which is when I got her, but as the...
