    Herman's enclosure progression?

    Okay, that sounds good. Next I need to learn how to acclimate them to the weather around here. :/

    Herman's enclosure progression?

    Me again. I'm still lurking and learning. I have a question about enclosure size progression for a baby tetsudo tort. I've read that you can start a baby in something as simple as a plastic concrete mixing tub. However, I've not seen any information on how long you can keep a baby in something...

    Hi, going from lurker to registered lurker :)

    Dang, okay. I'm definitely going to research outdoor setups. I want him to have a sweet setup during the warm months.

    Hi, going from lurker to registered lurker :)

    I went to the Charleston repticon today. So many snakes lol. Lots of sulcatas, but luckily I was able to find one vendor that had Herman's. Adults though and I really didn't like the look of their other adults. Looking for a reputable breeder is definitely a must. I'm still on the fence, but...

    Where can I get this incredible enclosure?

    Sounds like your mileage may vary when it comes to a tort and glass . Good news is that you can always obstruct the view if glass is a problem. Personally I'd like to have a glass/clear front so that we can view each other lol.

    How long do you keep your lights on? I'm a n00b, so I have no input lol. I'm just curious as to how long they should be on.

    Hi, going from lurker to registered lurker :)

    I forgot to mention that I do not plan to house a hatchling or even baby outdoors. Definitely would start life as an indoor tort. I just wanted something that I could also let outside. Mainly because I feel bad about only having a 4x8 enclosure. My main hesitation with owning a tort is feel...

    Hi, going from lurker to registered lurker :)

    Thanks for the replies guys! I figured that the enclosure would be the biggest issue for me. I had planned on allowing the little guy or gal to hibernate under the house in the cold months. It's an elevated house with a drive under garage. Our winters here are weird though. It's not uncommon...

    Hi, going from lurker to registered lurker :)

    Hi all, I'm considering getting a tortoise and to that end I'm starting my research. I intend to research the topic for close to a year. :) That's just how I've always been. The first phase of my research is to determine whether or not a tortoise is actually for me. The last thing I want to do...
