I have a Hermans hatchling, in 6 months we are going down to Florida for a week from Wisconsin, its about an 18 hour drive. I dont really trust anyone here to take care of him while im gone, do you think its possible I can travel with him? We will be driving through the night and only stop for...

The line that splits his shell in half going vertical, it bumps out a bit... is that normal? I got him end of march Thank you! It was never like that before so i wasnt sure if he was malnourished in something or if it was just from growth

I just noticed today that my tortoise had a line that is protruding from his belly that goes straight down. I know this isnt normal but what is causing it? Ive been getting him wild dandelions, plantain, and clover mostly and get mazuri every so often. Is there something else i should be doing...

I have a hatchling eastern hermanns and i was wondering if anyone else feeds pellets? I have the mazuri pellets but those are huge! I do soak them but would still like a smaller one. Also what are some good wild plants you guys have come across to feed your little ones in/around Wisconsin?

Okay thank you! I think the ones i have now are too small

Like river rocks? Or kind of aquarium rocks? I did have it buried down in the substrate but getting out he couldn't climb over the side

They never even gave me a valid reason. Just kept giving me vague replies and not answering calls and my voicemails. I never even got a confirmation email but yet the money was already taken out? But yes never again!

I did have a terra cotta saucer in there, but then he flipped over and im scared he’ll do it again. He has a 100 watt uv uvb powersun. I was thinking of getting a heat emitter too for at night but the temperature never drops below 73 in the house (normally is 75-80). I will definitely lower the...

I read the reviews on the website... but didnt find this forum until after i ordered him when i had troubles with them not sending him and already taking the payment, it was a lot of back and forth and a mess! Just glad we received him and now know to never order from them again:)

I use a mix of repti bark and eco earth. Thinking maybe to just using the eco earth and some topsoil? Heres a photo of his full enclosure, didnt put in the other side because he never went in there before but i do wet that substate as well. He has the aivituvin wooden tortoise house that i got...

I recently got a hatchling from tortoise town and Im struggling with getting the humidity above 35% in his enclosure. I soak him for 15 minutes everyday along with dampening his bedding. I also mist down his table two/three times a day. I have his humidity gage about 6 inches off the substrate...
