    Getting A Tortoise Before Adulthood

    Hi, I had a tortoise last year however, he died and I've been looking a lot into getting a new tortoise and I think I can take care of one well but I'm 16 and my mom is worried about when I go to college what to do with a Tortoise. I want a Greek so not a large tortoise and I'm wondering if...

    I don't really know what he died of. It was honestly very sudden to me, there may have been symptoms but I didn't recognize them. He was a bit less lively in the days leading up to it but I just took him outside one day and he just died. I soaked him every other day, gave him water and I had a...

    Where To Buy A Greek?

    I wanna buy a well-started Ibera Greek tortoise but I don't know where to get one. There aren't any local places that I know of so if there are any breeders on here I could talk to or good websites anyone knows it would be appreciated.

    Beginner In Need Of Advice (getting another tortoise)

    Thank you for your help and I think that going with a well started baby will probably work best as you were saying but on the enclosure, it needs to be completely enclosed? That seems like quite a lot. The one I currently have is honestly not that small for a young Greek I think as I just...

    Beginner In Need Of Advice (getting another tortoise)

    I had heard that wood containers were netter so they couldn't see through them from people like kamp kenan I believe so that's why I went with that thing. I had the right humidity at least from the website I was getting my info from. I didn't think about that with the humidity. Is there any way...

    So how do you see them in a closed container? Could I just saran wrap the barred part or something like that? The temp and humidity were pretty stable before I thought but I'm not quite sure.

    Beginner In Need Of Advice (getting another tortoise)

    From what I've read I want to get an Ibera greek tortoise however, I don't know if that would be the best. I live in a fairly humid area so I need one that would work well here but I need one that won't get big so I think the Ibera would be the best. What box should I get if not that and what is...

    You're saying the set up isn't correct? He was a hatchling yes so that's where he was living. I don't know if I should get an older one the next time around or if I should get another hatchling which would be easier to take care of?

    Beginner In Need Of Advice (getting another tortoise)

    I did everything as I had read to do on tortoise websites. I had gotten him at a HERPS pet show so Idk if that's a bad place to get a tortoise but I just assumed that would be the best place to.

    There’s the enclosure. The temperature was almost exactly what I had read online and the lighting is just that dual bulb lamp thing.

    Is my tortoise dead?

    Thank you for your help, he didn't respond when I tried to open his eye but I couldn't really do it too well as his face is very small. I'm still trying to identify why he died though. I took him outside on my hand and was gonna set him down on my table so I could watch him and he peed in my...

Last night I had him out of his cage while he was asleep and while he was in my hand he peed and then stretched out his legs and then his head bt 3 times. Since then he has not responded to touch. Last afterwards he felt extremely limp and did...

    Greek Hatchling Shell Smooth Spots

    I just recently got my first tortoise, he is a little Greek tortoise and I've been trying to monitor his health as well as I can and look for abnormalities. I briefly saw these spots before but thought it was a little bit of water until just now I realized it's just a small smooth protrusion on...
