My Yoda eats in the morning and sometimes a couple more times before he's down for the night. Yoda won't eat food left out for too long, he likes his leaves crisp (he won't touch them if they start to wilt or get soft) so I have to offer fresh food a few times a day. Some days he's hungry all...

I do! I have 2 sons, 12 and 7 years old right now. They promised me they would take care of my Greek (Yoda) when I'm too old or no longer here. It's a sad subject but a real one that must be discussed. If you don't have a close family member that will care for your tort when you're gone, you may...

I'm managing to keep humidity levels at 30-50% now which seems to be the perfect level for this specific subspecies. When I originally posted this I was very worried because I thought I had to keep it at 60%+ which was so hard for me to accomplish. I finally have a handle on that, plus temps and...

Thank you for taking time to reply Chris. I really appreciate everybody's insight and I feel much better about my humidity concerns. I LOVE this forum and I'm so thankful for it. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your reply! I feel much better now. It's amazing how much we obsess over everything! I will follow your lead with the humidity.

Also, to touch back on my post about humidity, your site states warm and dry (little humidity)...does that apply to hatchlings as well? If so (or even if...

Thank you Yvonne. I'll wait and see if Chris is able to lend some advice on this. Thanks again for responding!

Thank you for your response. Should I keep with the lid at night still to trap the humidity? Cut a hole in the top, wrap edges with foil and put the lamp down on it? Humidity levels drop a ton during the day with the lid off but if he's getting all that humidity at night is the drop during the...

Hello all. I am a new tort parent. I have been all over this forum and have learned so much! Being new to torts, I find that everyday I'm questioning how I'm doing things. One big question is humidity. I'm having trouble keeping my enclosure humid for the simple fact that it's an open top...

Hello Chris. I have a baby greek and am having trouble with humidity. I read your care guide and I have a question. I have a plastic tote for the enclosure. I plan to drill holes and use the lid at night once lights are out to hold humidity and moisture as per your guide. Question, during the...
