    Enclosures enclosures! Of all the enclosure threads! Halp!

    Caring for a 1 year old eastern Hermann tortoise-- Done a lot of looking into other enclosure posts and going over Tom's guide (https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-best-way-to-raise-any-temperate-species-of-tortoise.183131/), and still can't decide on what to do in regards for Stevie's...

    That lazy leg pose

    Sorry to barge in, but I am still a bit confused...or maybe just unintelligent >.< But to my understanding, the CHE goes up to a certain temperature. So if the heat lamp is on a stand high enough to emit a high of 95 degrees f, would'nt that keep the CHE at a consistent temperature? Or am I...

    Stressed behavior after enclosure change

    Housing a western Hermann's. He is 6 months and 107g. Yeah, we want to get a top over it because there's no way it's keeping humid. We must it throughout the day. But that's why we are trying to top it off. Thank you so much for this information!

    Stressed behavior after enclosure change

    Hi everyone! Hope all is well. Recently, we changed our tortoises enclosure to one of those plastic kiddie pools... Well, our tortoise will circle around the pool. Wondering if a circular enclosure was a bad idea.. Also, any tips on how to put a top over it to keep the required humidity...

    Stevie's new enclosure

    Decided to post a picture of Stevie's new enclosure! Nifty idea of using a kiddie pool. Planning on adding artificial plants very soon.
