While I appreicate Tom's carpentry expertise, his method does seem a bit prohibitive for me in terms of cost and time, so I think I'm going to go with this method for now. Hopefully one day I will be able to treat Max to the kingly fare of Tom's tortoises.
I'm mainly writing this post to make...
I'm not very good at carpentry, so I don't think I'd be able to do something of that magnitude. I found this link (https://startortoises.net/housingouts-houses.html) about modifying a wodden dog house. Would that a be a good idea?
Thank you for the offer!
I’m up in LA county so I’d like to use this one if at all possible. I have some spare heat lamps and bulbs but I’m not quite sure how I’d attach them.
His house is a big one of these if it helps...
Ok, how would I go about doing that?
Theoretically I could bring him in the house, but he’s usually asleep before it gets dark and he’s quite difficult to pick up.

This will be a pretty long message but bear with me.
In terms of his story, we saw someone had posted online that they didn't want their tortoise anymore, so we took him in. They had told us that they just gave him a doghouse to sleep in and that we wouldn't need anything besides that and...

Hi all,
I was looking over my 7ish year old Greek tortoise's shell and found some weird white line things. He's asleep right now so I wouldn't really be able to get a decent photo, but does anyone know if worms in the shell are anything to worry about? He lives inside so I don't know if he...
Ok I usually just take him out but he has a bigger area around the house, his house is big enough thanks so some people on here helping me decide the proper size. I’ll keep him in his home now that I know this!
Yes one of them looks like that it is the one of my two lights, the one that is only on during the day. Would I need to replace or do tortoises not really need it?
