I have read a few of the reviews on the ReptiFogger on here but I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience using the ZooMed ReptiRain misting system (aka HabbaMist). I have a T. graeca ibera and he's about 5 and a half years old now and I'm having some trouble retaining moisture in his...

I posted this in the species specific forum but looking to see if anyone here can help me too :) I know there's a bunch of posts about humidity on here but I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience using either the ZooMed ReptiRain misting system or the ZooMed ReptiFogger. I have a T...

Hello all, it has been a long while since I have last posted. My baby tort, which I believe is a Greek, has easily double in size over the last two years and is now very active. Because of how much he moves around the eco earth substrate we use quickly turns to dust and has made a mess of my...

Hello everyone, I am looking to build my tort a new enclosure and would like to make it look nice, be water proof and easy to clean. I was thinking about acrylic much like an aquarium and then putting up the fake backsplash on 3 walls to keep my tort from running into the walls. Does anyone...

I recently read that tortoises are sensitive to touch, pain, heat, cold, and other stimuli because of their innervated skin and shells. I was wondering what kinds of advantages an innervated shell would give them in terms of things like survival? Are there specific benefits to being able to...

I am having the worst trouble with flies in and around my torts enclosure! Is this normal? There used to just be a few but it seems like their little population exploded and I'm noticing my tort (Bowser) chasing them around like they're stressing her out. Because I live in Alberta, Canada I have...

I've had my Greek tort for a little over a year now and she just recently started digging underneath the substrate and staying under there. The first time she did it about 3 weeks ago I panicked because I couldn't see her anywhere and dug around until I found her and kind of undug her a bit...

When I give my Greek tort Bowser her soakings she always seems to stick her head under water and blow a few bubbles and then make a weird noise. Is this normal? The water depth is quite shallow as it doesn't go past the bottom of her shell on the back legs, so it isn't like she is drowning...

This is Bowser's (greek) new set up until I can get a table built. Dimensions: 42x21 inches (50 gallons) Substrate: -For the substrate I used a mixture of organic top soil and zoo med eco earth and inside his humid hut there's moist spag. moss. Plants: -The plants are cat grass and trailing...

Just bought a few different types of seeds to plant in Bowser's enclosure and just wanted to confirm that they will be safe to eat. -Endive -Mesclun Mild Mix (includes Kyona Mizuna, black summer pac choi, tatsoi, red Russian kale, lettuce red sails, lettuce salad bowl, and lettuce rouge...

Hello Everyone, I am just wondering if any of you out there would be able to help me figure out as to whether or not my tortoise Bowser is in fact a Greek or not, and perhaps what subspecies it could be. I also am unsure as to the gender of my baby Bowser so maybe some of you out there will...

Hello, I'm a new member and also new tortoise owner in Alberta, Canada. I'm not too sure the species or gender of my tortoise but 'his' name is Bowser and the friend I got 'him' from said it's a Greek but she wasn't too sure. I made a post in the general tortoise forum if anyone has extra input...

I just aquired a tortoise from a friend who was unable to properly care for hers as i couldnt stand seeing the poor thing being kept in a little box and unattended for such long periods of time. With university exams here i havent been able to spend the time needed to research the best care or...
