but my golden greek just passed away this morning... I would doubt dehydration because it did have a water dish and I soaked her at least 30 min each day... temps would range from 25C to 30C. No other animal in the house except another tortoise in a different tortoise table

Dear tortoise lovers, I don't what happened this morning, but when I got home from work, I found my 6 months old golden greek ... lifeless... I am devastated... I don't know what happened... yesterday she seemed fine ! I soaked her and when I put her back to her tortoise table, she was...

Good day ladies and gentlemen, Would someone be able to ID this tortoise that I have come accross and would like to bring it home? The current owner says that it is about 40 years old, male, but has forgotten its species. I would like research on its requirements in order to determine...

Ladies and Gents, I have come across this lovely RF. Now I know that YFs, RFs and CHs usually have smooth shell. But I have also seen many that have slight bumps as shown in the pictures. Is this a common trait for captive torts? Regards,

I know that Greek Tortoises can eat Aloe Vera, but I've read (from another thread) that it's not too good for them to eat too much since it's high in oxalic content. Therefore I would like to know whether or not it's ok to leave the whole plant within their enclosure. Thanks
