thanks. I am sure all yee guys in here have a hell of a lot of knowledge and I am very grateful for your advise and help since I've been here. Cheers lads, really appreciate it. So looks like its Bernadette.

Thanks guys. I wonder if it is 100% a female though as we need to name it. If its a boy its Arthur and if its a girl its Bernadette.

[/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/img] Lady in the shop thinks its a girl due to the narrow bottom of the undershell. I think its probably too early to tell but if anyone would know its yee guys. [/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/img] Will take more photos when I get the chance...

yeah, i got it flat pack last week, just trying to add finishing touches (moss, bedding, ect). Will try to tidy it up by the end of the week. I am also getting very conflicting results when searching for the correct humidity. Ive got from 30% to 90% so far. Crazy comparison. Thanks all for...

Hows tricks. Getting himself next week and so far I have had a go at putting a few bits together (photos attached). Just a few questions. Should I have the water & food bowls fairly flush or should I have it just standing on the suface? Also, what are the ideal temperatures for both...

Right, now I know most people here are american and football is the game where they use their hands to throw an oval shaped ball to each other but I mean proper football. I support the Blues, which is Birmingham City to football supporters over these parts. Just wondering if any of yee...

ah no, just spent 750 euro today on plants, lamps and hides - nice job explaining this to the missus tomorrow anyway, being honest, as long as I got it right for my wee lad, I dont give a monkeys

wow, a great response - cheers guys

Hi Louise Thats great, I would appreciate that. Its hard to know at the beginning I suppose. I just want to go at furnishing the inside of the enclosure and make it as active as possible with tons of hiding places for himself. I am just afraid of putting in the wrong plant, Im heading...

not sure if this uploaded ok

after 15 minutes with the flat pack, I had to walk away from it. Came back an hour or so with some nice scotch whisky and I done it in 2 hours, which is great for me as I've been known to do some serious damage just using the microwave. Anyway, all done - now I need to start thinking hard...

Cheers, will enjoy my beers but there aint nothing stress free about flat-pack. Whatever happened to the good aul days of buying aready assembled furniture and getting it into the house via the bedroom window. Ah - the good aul days when smoking was good for you and 'Where's Wally' was as...

Hows tricks? I'm from Cork - I think I have some slate left over from a house build, maybe a little marble but that might look a bit cr@p if i didnt do it properly. Yeah, its a wooden vivarium unfortunately but I will do my best to do what I can with it as I paid decent money for it...

Its a hermann tortoise, just put the balls in motion a little over an hour ago for him to make his trip from a breeder in the uk over to Ireland. Its a vivarium that I am setting up, I have lot of wild and wonderful things growing in the garden and I am trying to put as much research into...

Hi, I am getting my first enclosure today and I am a bit nervous about setting it up wrong. I dont know what the cool and hot area should be, from what I've read it should be 23-32 C. Also, for the base I was going to use topsoil and kids playsand, is this ok? I was thinking of...

cheers, will be doing a lot of reading up over the weekend before I decide which tortoise is for me. I used to always lean more toward either a horsefield or a herman but will look at the other options too before deciding.

Hi folks, The woman from the pet shop called back. She said that the supplier has all types available but mostly Horsefields, Hermans, Red foot and Leopard. I was wondering if any of yee lads had a preference or advice. Thanks again for your replies. Name is Davitt by the way.
