This is incredibly sad, I feel so sorry for you. This is exactly the reason I'm too scared to hibernate Kevin (a family friend nearly lost their Tort a few years back when he woke up to early). Kevin's only 4 1/2 years old, but I still won't hibernate him as the risk is too high for the effort...

What does your tortoise actually DO all day? Here's a day in the life of my Kevin :) BONUS: a quick video of me setting up his new indoor table top enclosure. Follow for updates! https://www.instagram.com/tortoisekev/

So to focus on the noises (because yes the temps need to be a bit higher, closer to 30*C under the basking light and 20-25*C at the other end) I have heard mine make noises too. Usually only when expelling air quickly in order to create space inside his shell to pulls his head and legs in if he...

Could someone clear up the humidity question for me please? What is the humidity range for a baby? (Hermann’s) What is the humidity range for a juvi/adult? I have read it should be approx 50-70% I have an open table and the humidity is usually close to 60%. I soak the substrate (coir and top...

Yes I had a look myself and yes, definitely genuine! Appreciate not being attacked for saying something! It’s a shame we need to be so guarded and aware of scams. Good luck to the OP. And you’re right to be careful yourself, especially as a kid. Good that you’re being so vigilant.

Really really don’t want to be that guy, and really really want to believe everything that’s been talked about here and think the support of all the members is so good.... but... just be careful. As ever, I don’t mean to offend anyone, especially the OP, but I was reading through the post and...

Fair enough. Interesting reasons. Thanks.

No offence intended but I’m intrigued as to why people respond to threads with no information. It’s the same on sites like Amazon where a user asks a question about the product and someone responds with “I don’t know the answer”... then why reply?! Sorry, I’m just curious and not meant to cause...

Try this https://www.tortoisesupply.com/SexingYourTortoises It should show you the best angles to look at and sex your tortoise. If you take photos from those angles then it’s better for those on this forum to help.

Here’s my most liked picture (so far) on Instagram. I like to try and post from the mind of Kevin! Give us a follow and hopefully we’ll give you a laugh and smile or two! :) Instagram: TortoiseKev https://www.instagram.com/tortoisekev/

Bearing in mind mine falls off (and often ends up upside down) when climbing up something an inch or two high I would defiantly say that’s too steep!

Oh that’s good to hear. I know the local breeder I bought him from kept his guys outdoors most of the year (until it was too cold). I think he hibernates those that can and takes the rest indoors for the winter, but not sure how they’d have been kept exactly (as they were outdoors when we...

So I’ve seen this posted a few times around here and would like to get your opinion for Kevin (Hermann specific advice only please!). Not sure if this is pyramiding or not. He’s 3.5 years old. I’ve had him 4 months so not sure if that’s long enough to have made any changes really. I frequently...
