    Ted is beautiful and the enclosure looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

    Would This Enclosure Be Okay?

    I personally would go as big as you can find. My Hermann's seems to really enjoy his 4' x 4' indoor enclosure. I doubt you'll find a bookcase that big, but that would be a good goal if you have the space!

    Would This Enclosure Be Okay?

    I wouldn't be afraid of putting something together yourself, it is much easier than it looks! For some easy options to try to give the tort more space- I have seen some people buy bookshelves that they remove the shelves from and lay on the back. I've also seen some people get decent space out...

    Tortoise acting weird

    An infrared thermometer will be your best friend with tortoise care. I definitely recommend one for measuring more exact temps of your tort and around their enclosure.

    Would love to see some pictures! Getting a tort is very exciting but I definitely understand how some of their behaviors (like the leg pumping) can be pretty scary at first glance. He's probably all good and just getting used to his new space. :)

    Just as a quick extra tidbit- you can read a little more on this in the FAQ https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/why-do-my-tortoises-legs-move-when-hes-resting.148876/

    Tortoise acting weird

    Hi Jenny, I suspect your tortoise is ok. They'll pump their front legs back and forth for breathing pretty frequently. You'll probably want to add some more details here for anyone else that sees this thread. You'll inevitably be asked for species and such :p

    @Npublic Any update on this poor girl? Hope you and her both are doing well!

    Tortoise has softish growth on his right side near the back of his jaw. What could it be?

    He is a beautiful tort! I hope things turn out all right! I agree with maggie, try not to let the anxiety and speculation get to you!

    Overgrown beak?

    I think if you are near Boise there are a few places you could take him to. I live up in northern Idaho and I haven't seen anything close to me though. :/ I hope you can get this cute little guy the care he needs!
