Sheldon was my back up name if I ever found out she was a boy haha love it

Today Shelly had a bath, she had fun and pooped everywhere lol

Ah thanks, She does enjoy it, I have changed her tank around about 1000 times now but she seems to like the hills, it’s just cork bark underneath with soil on top so if she wants to dig under she can :)

Lol I didn’t mean together!

Looking at the picture I would say Shelly is a western wouldn’t you agree?

They are huge! They look very healthy as well, stunning.

ive attached some photos, let me know your thoughts

I’m not sure? How would I be able to tell? Did you take that to a normal vet or was it an exotic vet?

I may go get her checked out then just to be on the safe side, she is a Herman’s tortoise, she has a lovely character, very interactive and does not mind being handled, she manly zooms around her tank or the floor all day tho, I have a rankins dragon on the viv above however they do not know...

Ah ok, I can honestly say she is nothing like that, she’s full of life, eats, sleeps, poops and urinates alll fine

Other then the test were there any tell tell signs that your tort had any parasites?

I am happy to hear that!! Nothing in her urine and she poops really well when I put her in the bath. I think I will amend her diet and everything should be fine, hopefully I can stop worrying now ?

Thank you so much, I will take on board your comments and change her diet immediately, as for the ping pong ball it will be removed as well. Would you say looking at her pictures that she looks healthy or should I take her to the vets for a check up? Thanks again

Lettuce everyday for sure, she loves it! Also cress she munches that every day to, she like cucumber and tomatoes as well but her favourite has got to be strawberries, she looks like hannable lector once she’s finished with it ? lately I have been letting her out in the garden and she eats the...

There is no pattern, she eats food has a run around, tired herself out, yawns then falls asleep, I was worried that she was sleeping fully extended out of her shell however after research, this is actually a really good thing as it means she is completely comfortable with her surrounding, it’s...

Ahhh I love that! I really like the ramp to, I was thinking about building a little ramp around the sides so she can scurry around the edges as well! I can’t have an open top table as I also have 4 cats, 2 of them being a bengal and a savannah, they like to look at her through the glass and she...

she has a yellow ping pong ball in there already :) that was just something I thought of about a month ago, I agree it is entertaining to watch, who would have thought that a tort would use one but she does and she pushes it around all the time! I have thought about putting some more plants in...

Il put some in then, anything to make her happy lol, I have attached some pictures of her enclosure already but il attached another to this thread for you now

Ahh this is great news!! She is such a little character and full of life, I would be gutted if I couldn’t keep it that way, regarding her enclosure, do you think it’s to bare for her? I have tried to put other stuff in but she flips over and it scares the hell out of me, I have loads of stuff...

Yes this is something I am worried about, she is about the size of a McDonald’s double cheese burger ? I dust her food but also use liquid calcium in her water bowl so she gets a good dose every day, apart from the shell, she is very very active bless her, she climbs, eats, digs, everything you...
