Hey everyone! I am the proud owner of an adult Hermann's named James. Currently he lives in a 5 x 2.5 x 1.5 wooden enclosure which I am aware is too small! I have been thoroughly researching but I have zero building experience and unfortunately some of the threads on here are so old the...

Thanks Karen!!

Hi all, I have been making quite a few changes to my enclosure. I'm aware it's too small... I'm working on that. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me? I have an adult Hermann's, he is 5 inches in length. I have three digital thermometers, one is a dual-hygrometer and that one is in the...

Have you been able to narrow this down? I am a new Hermann's owner, and I am in dire need of something like this.

Got it, thank you. :)

I’ll also look into getting some more variety into his diet. The light is from the brand “Thrive” and it’s a reptile dome light.

He’s a Russian tort.

Hi all, my dad recently built this enclosure for my tortoise. He’s 5 inches long. He still likes to hang out in the corner... am I doing something wrong? Also, any general advice on my enclosure?

Thank you so much for the info! I have a little more about my routine below.

This is what I have going right now... After reading the care sheets, I am feeling information overload. Haha. I ended up turning off the heating pad. But let me know if you have any other suggestions. I also bought a different hiding spot, he can't fit into the one that came with the tank...

Hi everyone, I just got a tortoise today. He’s a Hermanns, and he’s a baby. I’m not sure how old he is. I am wondering about a daily routine, and all the need-to-knows that may not be widely known. I’m talking a step by step routine, if someone could help me with this, that’d be great. Also, can...
