I'm positive he can get out. I took a few photos to show you. this is him next to his bowl, to show you that he can access & get out of his water bowl easily. this is the glob that I found in his water. (The stuff around it is just a little bedding that got into his water)

I have a yearling who went into his water dish before I left for work & when I got back a few hours later he was still in there. I took him out, & placed him under his lamp to heat up & he crawled into his house. But in his water, there was an odd liquid/solid substance in his water (which...

His eye is mostly squinted, & it looks a little dry around it. I use a finely shredded coconut bedding which seems to stick to his body/face a lot. & I usually feed him shredded carrots or freeze dried fruit with water. For the lighting, he has a long fluorescent bulb, and a red night time...

Would a long florescent light act the same as a coil bulb? I have one on his tank. That might be the problem

I'm not sure what to do, I washed him under lukewarm water, but his eye still seems to bother him. He itches it a lot. And he hasn't been eating his food, even though I put fresh fruits and veges in his tank. I also mist his tank about two - three times a day. I'm not sure what's wrong, can...

I'm not going to do that, I was just curious about it. I feel like tortoises deserve some of the good life at times.

Can tortoises drink cooled tea? Not tea mix, but made with a tea bag in a kettle then cooled.

Thanks! & I had him playing with a ball on a string, then got the picture when he was looking at the ball that was right above the lens, haha.

I am a sixteen year old photographer and I'm not exactly sure on a price range. Someone is looking to buy the rights of two of my photographs. I have never sold the rights to photos, so I don't want to price it too high & have the buyer lose interest, or price it too low & sell myself short...

I heard somewhere that hermit crabs live well with tortoises. So I wanted to know if I should put my hermit crabs in with my yellow footed hatchling. He has a 30" x 12" enclosure. Is it safe for them to be together, or should I separate them again?

My little yellow footed tortoise eats cubes of fruit. I was wondering; could tortoises choke on fruit? & if so, how would I save him?

I feed him grapes, & celery leaves. I also feed him a dried fruit mix from PetSmart which he really loves.

Is this better? Or do you want to see the top of his head?

Rustning is my yellow footed tortoise, he's about 8 months old. I've been feeding him shredded carrots and fruit. And I was wondering: What would be an ideal diet for a baby yellow foot?

This is Rust's new enclosure.
