Here’s another gender confirmation. The Hermes are both the same age about 4 years old and I’ve had them since they were babies. One smaller than other. They both nip each other here and there (not injury force), but they hang out mostly together and climb on each other, sleep and nestle in ...
Hi there,
My indian star nameD tank has been okay recently, trying to eat and moving around the enclosure.
He has developed something around his mouth, looks black. I have taken some pics attached.
He does his best at eating, but I’m not sure if he is getting anything to actually go down...
I’m keeping 80% for both Indian star and hermann tortoises....thoughts?

The Indian star really doesn’t do much compared to The Hermanns. It has found a spot it likes and then it will every so often move to the food and chow down, possible mosey around a bit.
The Hermanns are all over the...
Hi All,
I’d thought I’d share this option with you all. I have one that does outside right now at my house, but I ordered this one (link below). It comes with 3 weather resistant remote sensors (good for misting etc). I like this because my enclosure varies temperature and humidity at...
Hi All,
New here. Done my research it it’s always nice to get peoples thoughts. I have a total of 3, 2 month old Hermanns (names are tank, Koopa and tortle) together in a 4ft L x 2ft H x 2ft W enclosure indoors. I have a radiometer for UVI readings, -150w ceramic bulb, t10 reptisun ho...
