Does anyone have any drawings of which they built their tortoise table from. I'm hoping to build one around 6ft wide and 2 ft depth. There current house is now too small and I want to do something a bit special.

Sheldon making a break for it!

I think the smaller one could be a Tunisian tortoise? Furculachelys Nabeulensis

Wow thanks for all the nice comments he was slightly bumpy when we got him but ever since we have followed all the instructions from this forum he has started growing a lot smoother!!

Sheldon has thin white lines along where he grows not sure if you can see in the picture? They are a lot brighter than the rest of the shell? Anyone know what they could be?

Hi can anyone help me find Egyptians in the UK? I have noticed that you can buy them in America and really want to get one

Hopefully this doesn't mean the temps aren't hot enough!

Thanks for the help - also what does gravid mean? She seems to dig herself in totally and kind of rest her head against the substrate! We haven't seen them mate lately so don't expect it to be eggs we have like coconut soil substrate which we changed too from sandy loam about 2 months ago?

Shelley has started digging recently! She is only 6 inches so can't be eggs although she does live with Sheldon! I was wondering what else might cause the digging

Brilliant thanks joesmum I reckon they are the same as joe having seen pics

So they are definitely both Greeks but we can't determine the sub species? They have been with my nan for over 30 years ish if that helps and are we sure they are male and female? Thanks

Yes it does have a yellow head! What's TGG?? I don't think they have breed before so prob steer clear! The male is double the size as the smaller one is tiny! Which is why I'm so surprised that they are similar species!

You certainly know your stuff! Is it common for the smaller one to be this small for a fully developed adult? Also would they breed?

Thanks for your help I'm on the app though so not sure how to pm link - would really like to know so I can tell my nan as she is excited to find out more after so many years of looking after them![hr] Is anyone else able to help? Thanks

My nan has 2 tortoise and I was wondering what species and gender they were: This one is only 5/6 inches and has been in the family for ages so fully grown [hr] And this one is a lot bigger prob double the size:

Oh ok they are only 3 so could be why! They are about 4/5 inches and was just wondering what to look out for - for determining the sex

Can anyone take a guess as to wether Sheldon and Shelley are male or female? Sheldon Shelley

Saw this picture on my tv today and wondered if the owner (Sally Scott) was a member of this forum! They seem to be tucking into those buttercups

Yes it looks like he has an itch! Haha - it's so funny!

My tortoise loves to shake his bum up against the sofa when I let him out to walk around. Is this a common thing or is he just strange!
