    First outdoor enclosure

    We made Sheldon his first temporary enclosure. I know it should be bigger, but if I keep it like this it will be mobile. I could move it around to keep his food supply going. Opinions welcome. I’m in Michigan so any outdoor enclosure will be somewhat temporary.

    Need to vent

    A new “exotic” pet store opened by me and I wish I wouldn’t have went to check it out. There was a hatchling Eastern Hermanns on sand with just basking light in a cattle water container on the floor where little kids were picking it up. Ugh. They also had 3 different species of chameleon housed...

    Instahatch

    Has anyone tried the instahatch egg from tortstork? I think it would be so awesome for my kids to see a tortoise hatch but I’m new at this.

    New to forum

    Hello, I’ve been researching tortoise care in preparation for a new family member. I’ve read lots of posts but just decided to join. I’m frustrated with availability in my area (Michigan) and don’t want to purchase from a pet store. Online ordering seems risky also......
