Hi folks, I have been housing Leo in a glass terrarium until now but it cracked and I have decided to finally go with a table. I have debated whether I should build one or buy a small bookshelf. I am limited to building size since I live in a condo in the city. Here are my questions if I...

Hey folks, For the first time ever (4 years - got him as a baby) Leo is humping his clay cave... he mounts it, and pumps away with his mouth ajar, lightly squealing, and his tail motioning toward a "female"!! It's at once comical and sad!!!! Should I offer him some relief? Poor guy!

Hi folks, I mentioned urates recently in a thread but I forgot to alos mention that my little guys appetite seems to have diminished over the past few weeks.. it is a bit cooler in the house now... As well, I bought Mazuri in Nov and I wonder if this might have something to do with it...

I have a 1 1/2 year old Hermann Tort. He seems to be discharging more urates over the past few months... Could this indicate dehydration? I see it at least once per week and often 2 times.. I've even noticed it happening on consecutive days.. two to three.. About a month ago I could...

Do you folks change your UVB/Heat bulbs? thanks

Hi folks, I will be going away for 5 days and my neighbor who normally takes care of my little guy (young hermanns) while I'm away cannot take care of him. If I cannot find someone to feed him what should I do to ensure he will be ok when I get back? How about turning the lights out and...

Ok, i've heard of torts occasionally eating sand/soil mixes in their enclosures but this is ridiculous - he started chomping down on the stuff as soon as i put him down on it for the first time!! i had to pull him out and put him in a temp enclosure... He was eating it like it was his last meal...

I've noticed over the past month that my hermann's tort is beginning to pyramid - just slightly... he's only 8 months old and about 2.5 inches. Is this going to get much worse or can i reverse it or at least minimize future pyramiding. I bath him 3x's per week ad he's set up with a humid...

I am thinking of bring my little guy outdoors this summer... He's only 2.5 inches (and growing)..he's a hermann. I live in Toronto so cold winters but summers can be quite hot and humid (90's are not uncommon) Just a few questions: 1) I was thinking of using PVC type material from Home...

Hi folks, I'm going to be in Buffalo this afternoon to drop off my brother-in-law at the airport there. I live in Toronto and I can't get Mazuri here (at least a reasonable size) and wanted to buy some while down there. Anyone know of a retailer that sells the stuff? Thanks...

Hi folks, I am in toronto, canada but my sister lives in Atlanta and is coming up for xmas I want her to buy me some Muzuri for my tort. Can somone out there recommend a retailer in that region that sells the stuff? Thanks!!

Hi folks, I'm beginning to wonder about the merit of 'soaking' your tort daily. I have a water dish set out for my little hermann. I am pretty sure he dips himself daily in the dish. I'm at work all day so i don't see him for 10 straight hours bt I routinely find poop or bits of debris in the...

Is it ok?

I moisten it and use it in my hide. Weekly? Bi-weekly? Any suggestion? thanks!

Anyone wanna buy and split up a bag of Mazuri? Isa and I are interested because 25lb is going to waste with our little hatchlings.. I only need a few pounds..she only 1lb - we live in toronto and montreal so any ontario or quebec tort owners are welcome to join in. Let me know! thanks
