I am very sad to say I have to find a new home for my Hermanns tortoise. I am going through a divorce, and am currently struggling to find a place to live for myself and young daughter. I was kicked out of my home and obviously had to leave all my animals behind. It is of the upmost importance...

Thanks everyone! I definitely agree, he's very handsome. ;)

Thank you all! I have been spending nearly all my free time browsing through as many threads as I can. Unfortunately in that picture yes, they were pine shavings. They were next to the aspen shavings at the pet store and I mistakenly grabbed that bag instead of the aspen. However I caught my...

I have been looking into getting a tortoise for over a year now, but I'm still not quite sure that my situation would be ideal for keeping them. I live in Washington, in the Puget Sound area, so outside time would be extremely limited to occasional brief periods during the summer. Also, they...
