Thanks GBTortoises for having a look at my thread. I can see what you mean about accelerated growth evidence and I can see that from their measurements too. Their temps at night are: 65-68 Daytime range from 80-90 Basking -92 Hide- 75 in day. I'm guessing it's my humidity as its really dry...

I've had my 2 Hermanns for a few months now and they're about 7 months old. Before this week I had found them on their backs but now it's regular. I'm worried as I often leave the house as I have two children and I need to take them to their classes. Is there a substrate that will help them to...
