Dwight is growing like a weed! It's definitely time to build him a nice big indoor enclosure. I live in an apartment and we don't even have a balcony so I need to build a nice looking enclosure that will give Dwight all the space he needs. Any suggestions on size, how to build, how to make the...
Its been almost a year since I was gifted Dwight from a friend who felt like I'd have more time for her. She rode home in her little 10 gallon tank with a pokey substrate and a bowl of tortoise pellets. She climbed in her bowl and rode the whole way doing her best to manage the turns and bumps...
Dwight seems to have a never ending hunger these days. I give him a large pile of greens every morning and probably about 10-15 soaked mazuri pellets and about 10 soaked tortoise grassland diet pellets 2-3 times a week at night.
Should I be feeding more? How much and of what should I increase?
So now that the weather is getting warmer I want to start taking Dwight to my cousins and my friends yards to let him have some time to walk around and explore. I know he's going to eat everything in sight.
What precautions should I take before taking him to a yard? See if they fertalize? See...

Dwight is staying faithful to her schedule and going to sleep early. Too cute! Shes all sprawled out and comfy squeezed between her water bowl and the side of the tank.
Sorry for the mess, she spread out her greens this morning and made a mess and I didnt want to disturb her she's sleeping so...
Ok so Dwights poops have never been perfect. Too hard or too soft sometimes not pooping for a week sometimes a few days. It's been frustrating. Now the past 2 weeks she only poops once a week and thats when I soak her. It looks like she struggles to get it out. She stands up tall and puts her...
Look who just got home. My first snake. Hes an albino hondurian milk snake. Anyone wanna help with a name? Hes a boy for sure, he was probed before I brought him home. So excited but at the same time nervous!
So this year I jumped into reptile ownership. It all started with a tortoise and expanded to 10+ "exotic" members. I did all my research before each child I added but there are some things that just aren't in the care guides and forums. I laugh to myself all the time because this is such an...
Dwight loves this stuff! We picked it up last week and didnt hesitate at all. It comes in pellets that with just a little bit of water expand and make a really grassy aromatic mash. Tortoise approved!
I just have to share :-) this is Dwight (I know ive introduced him on here several times before). Every day my little man continues to wow me. Every morning hes up and waiting on me when its breakfast time. He has a hard and unwavering stare towards my bedroom door until breakfast is served. His...
My friend knows someone who has a tortoise hes getting rid of. Does anyone know what kind he is?? These are the only pictures I have. Yes we're very aware this guy needs a lot of care :-( poor baby I hope we can help him
Dwight has had times before that he isnt having solid stools but it seems to be happening pretty often now. Still got its normal color just very very loose. What's going on??
So I finished a 30 gal tank for Dwight tonight and he just moved in. I know tanks arnt the best but my apartment is so small it will have to do for the next several months. Anyway tonight has been full of new beginings for me and Dwight. To start with ive had him about a month and a half and hes...
