I'm in the south west of England! I couldn't take photos of the full plants because I didn't have a camera at the time. [hr] It's a huge park, goes on for miles, and has a lot of woodland which is where I picked nearly everything. They wouldn't spray everything in the woodland :)

Hopefully the photos show up! If not I'll make another post shortly. Picked a ton of plants at the park, had several identified but still got all these left. Help is much appreciated :)

Yeah I realised this after that it can't be just any kind of chalk haha. I was a bit clueless though because I was just told chalk was good for tortoises and I thought of your general sort of chalk and was like... really?! Haha!

I have cuttlebone for them, that isn't what I meant :) I found out it's natural limestone chalk which some people give them as a good source of calcium and some torts really enjoy it. But thanks for your reply anyway!

Where do people usually get chalk for torts? I'm not sure if this is a silly question but can I give them this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Country-Metolius-Chalk-Block/dp/B001QLKP84/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1395268349&sr=8-10&keywords=chalk+block

I'd like to put some moss into my tortoise table but just wanted to check here first that it's okay to do so? I have Horsefields. And if so where should I place it? Near their basking light or in their hides? Please let me know any advantages or disadvantages there might be to having moss in...

Sorry it was hard to get him to stand right next to the CD for a size comparison because he hates staying still haha! But could anyone put an age on him? He's 81 grams. My guess was a year and a half but I'm a novice.

Sorry I'm only replying now but yes it's purchased! Not sure if I'd recommend it or not though, the glass makes it easy to clean and even though it has green tint over it, the torts can see out of it and I know glass can stress them out. One of my torts sometimes walks straight into it aswell...

I've decided to give him to my boyfriend, I had a talk with my mother but it's the electricity she can't afford unless I put money towards it which I can't afford to do either. Gonna miss him but I can still see him on weekends and he'll be taken good care of! He'll be much happier.

Thanks! Yes they're in the US. Not a friend but it's less awkward to say than stranger I'm talking to about tortoises haha.

I live in Britain, we don't have a WalMart. The bulb I buy is both a heat bulb and UV in one, it costs £50 and it's the extra electricity my mum can't afford either. And I don't have a job. Looks like I might have to sell my baby for his health :( It'd break my heart but I don't have the money...

What kind of tortoise is this please? Asking for a friend!

Honestly this just panicked me a bit because I thought he looked a bit like a Hermann when I got first him! The pattern on his shell was just quite different to my other torts and he was much lighter in colour. Thought I best be sure. No need to apologise :) If I thought someone was mixing...

I was told by someone on here that they didn't think my tortoise Henry is a Horsefield, which I'm quite worried about because he lives in the same tortoise table as my other tortoise who is most definitely a Horsefield. I've always been aware that they look a little different but didn't think...

That's worrying because I've had them together for 4-5 months! I'll post a photo of Henry, I was told he is a Horsefield.
