7 month old western hermanns (you can see him in the back). 40gal enclosure with doors on front and tin foil on top to make it “closed”. 75w heat bulb and 10.0 t5 tube that I need to replace probably now. Ambient heat is around 75, basking is around 95, humidity stays around 70% but sometimes...

Anyone care to guess the locale?

I notice them mostly around his food and water dishes. There are some live plants in his enclosure.

Thinking about putting one in Doug’s enclosure hut want to make sure it’s safe. Thanks!

I am currently using this Wyze Cam v3 with Color Night... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R59YH7W/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 which seems fine but has a glare under the heat lamp. What camera do you guys use that doesn’t have this glare?

If so should it be fed every day (varied periodically with different fresh greens and mazuri)?

For those of you who are using a closed system, here is a really nice option for a wall/fence so they can’t se out. Before, I made a little fence out of wood dowels and I loved it, however they started to rot under the substrate due to the moisture. I walked around Home Depot and found this...

My little guy enjoying some wheat grass I planted for him last week through the recommendations of this forum!

I have a western hermanns hatchling with a 100w heat bulb and a 10.0 UVB bulb. I have a couple questions. 1- I know they should have 12-14hrs of light but if I cut one out at 14hrs and the other at 16hrs would that negatively effect anything? If not- which one do I cut out first? 2- I leave...

I just received my first western hermanns from garden state tortoise! How's this set up for him? I made a little fence for him so he can't see through (gotta finish the last two ends). Temp on the basking rock is 90 degrees, on the other side it's mid 70s. It's also hard to see but I made a...

I have been talking with Chris over the past few days and he has been incredibly helpful. If any of you have ever talked with him you know what I mean. Truly an amazing guy to this tortoise world. Essentially I am stuck choosing between a Mallorcan and Apulia. These two interest me due to their...

Hey all. I recently got my first tortoise, Darwin, a four year old hermanns a few weeks ago. I initially had him in a glass tank with a hide in there and he seemed to be doing well. Every night without fail he would put himself to bed in the hide and wake up the next morning like normal and do...

I took me new 4yo Hermanns, Darwin to the vet for an initial check up and had a fecal test done. The vet told me he has pin worms and another kind of worm that sounded like the name "Flagyl?" but I can't recall what she said and she didn't write it down, and possibly a tape worm egg but she...

Hi guys, I have a 4 year old Hermanns. I built an outdoor enclosure for him and I was wondering is anyone knows what the minimum temps are for him to be comfortable for: 1- outside while its sunny 2- outside while its cloudy/rainy Thanks!

Hi guys. I recently got my first tortoise 5 days ago. I was told he is a 4yo male hermanns. I’m wondering though if he is a Dalmatian after researching some. Can anyone tell me? Also- how does he look for 4 years? I think he looks great but I do not have a tortoise eye. He is pretty outgoing and...
