Thanks for the responses. I have sense changed her enclosure and the hide is much improved. I am using a old plastic plant container which she seems to love. There was a crack in the container so I got a sponge and ran a cotton sock thru the sponge on one end and placed the other end in a glass...

Does anyone know of a tortoise rescue group in Colorado? I would love another tortoise but feel rescuing might be the best way for a tortoise to get a happy home . Or maybe I'll just have to get a baby:) wanting to weigh the options! Thank you!

Beautiful!! Maybe someday I will get me a beauty like those!!!

Thank you thank you!!!! I'm new to this tortoise stuff and have learned so much here with you guys:) I really hope I saved her from the pet store and uri !! I want her to grow up to be a super happy tort;) and spoiled!

Finally:) I believe Penelope Cruz is on the up swing!!! She was an unhealthy tort when I got her and kept in a dry enclosure with a Russian and a box tort:( I had too return her to the pet store a few days after I got her because she was sick. A week later I picked her up ( still sick) but they...

No worries:) when it's suppose to happen it will happen !!

Curious about personalities on these torts:) i am fascinated by pancake torts! I have a Leopard tort, my first tort ever , and I enjoy learning about all the others:) yes I am afraid I have caught the tortoise bug and hope to get another or two someday :)

Soooo cute:))) will they be for sale? I really want to get a baby Leo:))) let me know.

Already checked the tortoise table and another site but did not see these two so I thought I would ask :)

I just got some packets of flowers for my tortoise garden I will be starting soon:) lots of stuff I know are safe but a few I am unsure about. Is black eyed Susan vine safe and single moss rose? Can not find them on either of the sites that list plants for Leo!

So cute!!! Makes me really want a nice healthy baby!!!

I just bought a big tote and I just noticed some of you use foil too protect the plastic lids from the lights...I want to do this but it makes me nervous:/ how much foil do u use? I may do this tonight .

Thank you guys so much:) I am using the biggest Rubbermaid I could get:) but need to start planning a long term enclosure! I really hope she gets healthy now!

I need to build a new enclosure. Mold took over my enclosure and I am thinking this could be a part of the reason my tort has been sick. I have her in a temperary 50 gallon plastic tub with new substrate for now . What wood and sealant is best?
