I just want to know if anyone is breeding pancake tortoises in the Netherlands? I always wanted one, especially since they don't get too big, look funny and are an arid species. I mean, a species that does not need a high humidity upkeep throughout their life.
I can't really find anyone...
I am planning to get a radiated tortoise but it may take months or even a year.
I just want to ask an experienced keeper who deals with radiated tortoises.
What is the general care for a radiated tortoise? Diet, temperature, humidity, substrate ect.
Especially diet, I'm mostly planning on...
I got my testudo hermanni few months ago and idk why but only until now I realized he got some sort of cracks on his shell. A bit flaky?
I thought maybe due not enough calcium so I added more to his diet but a week later nothing really changed.
I mostly feed his endive, rucola, watercress and...
I gave my tortoise some calcium powder on his food and I noticed he got it all over his body. So I just gave him a bath but several minutes later the white from the calcium powder appeared again and I tried washing him again to no avail.

(baby tort of around 6 months old - born late august) So, I got my tort earlier than I expected, not that it really matters. So tomorrow I will feed it myself so I want to ask for tips and clear some doubts.

So, all I want to ask if something is horribly wrong and needs to be removed immediately or something I forgot.
So because its lockdown time I cant order custom sawed wood and the tools I have at home is very crude and cant be used so all I can do is something like this. (I thought I could but...
I am getting a tortoise soon but I have no idea what's ideal for them. The guy who I am buying from didn't really give any specifics and just said it needs to have low Watt.
But I just want to be sure, how much % UVB and what the range of Watt it needs. btw, it's a Testudo Hermanni Boetgerri.
So I am planning to get some greek tortoises, If I'm right it's species name is Testudo Hermanni Boetgerri? Something along that line. I am planning to get two that are some months old (Born in late july/begin august)
I know basically everything I need like the enclosure space, a shallow water...
