Oh wow thanks for that link!
What an awesome idea of sinking the tub for extra digging!
I'm so excited to be apart of this forum and be shown all of these very helpful links and examples! My future tort will be so happy and healthy because of the knowledge you guys provide.
I was just...
I have a few bookcases laying around gathering dust and was wondering if it would be ok to turn them into a tortoise table for an eastern Hermann's.
It would be a great size I think, measuring at 6' x 3' x 12".
I would re enforce or just replace the back since they are just the cheap plywood...
Ok great because I have a friend that's getting rid of a parrot play stand they homemade, it literally looks like a tortoise table. They had PVC pipe for perches that they removed from the table after their parrot passed away.
It's about 5ft x 3ft table built over a cabinet with all four sides...
Ugg I'm still undecided on which sex to get lol.
I also have a question about building a table.
Is it best to build the sides in glass or solid wood? I wanted to know if they would be bothered by not being able to see out, if they would be climbing the walls trying to get over this barrier...
Wonderful response and very informative.
My only concern with the female was future egg binding ever becoming an issue.
I'm having a hard time finding a good breeder. I will never buy one from a company that refuses to show me individual photos of the animals they have for sale. Is it so...
I'm hoping to get a well started juvenile 4-5 inches or so.
I'm too afraid to get a hatchling, I've heard so many horror stories of them passing away easily.
I'm sure this question has been asked before and I'm sure a great deal depends on the personality of the tortoise itself. But I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether or not a male or female makes a better pet.
I do not plan on getting another tortoise, it will be just the one...
Hey guys it's been a while since I've been on the forums.
I'm getting ready to add a new member to my family. A golden greek tortoise. I've wanted a tortoise for years and have spent that time doing my research and finally settling on the golden greek. I'm just starting a new career so after I...
I think its adorable you kiss your tortoise :) I would be the same way.
Thank you for threads I will be sure to check them out.
So what kind of tortoise would you suggest? I would think most tortoises would prefere living outdoors year round. But for most of the US, thats just not possible...
Well I'm just doing my research still.
I dont plan on adding a tortoise to my home anytime soon but I would like to make sure I have done rearch and am ready for the new addition when the time comes.
I hear that leopards have such great personalities and I love the idea of having him just...
I have a question about Leopard tortoises.
I'm interested in adding a tortoise to my family, theres a couple different species that jump out to me.
My question for the Leopard is what is their growth rate? Can anyone provide me with a growth chart? Maybe how much yours grew the first year...
Although caresheets are abundant I do still love a great book on husbandry and pet care of an animal.
Does anyone know what the best greek tortoise book is on the market? Preferrable one that can be found on amazon.
And if anyone knows of a Hermann's one either? (im still not 100% sure on...
yup thats the lady! Ive talked to her before. Small world huh?
Well I think I'm set on Hermann's but if I change my mind I would definitly get a russian from her.
Ive had reptiles shipped to me before so Im all too familar with shipping its definetly not a problem for me. This little guy will be a lifelong pet so to pay extra for shipping isnt a big deal at all.
I forget her name but I think i know who you are talking about in Dickinson. Does she run...
Thats awesome I live in Bismarck!
I'm really getting quite set on a hermanns I havnt really looked much into russians yet.
But yes I would agree that our weather isn't great for humidity.
