awesome thanks so much, i was under the impression that turtles were aquatic and not land but i guess you learn something new every day!

Hey guys so today I rescued this poor tortoise named CC from a lady that couldn't care for him anymore. This poor guy was living in the tiniest enclosure with a piece of carpet for his bedding with no hides or anything.
He is 12 years old and I imagine he lived this way his entire life =(...
Alright guys so i live up in canada and we are covered in snow with -20 c temperatures right now so obviously weeds from outside are out of the question.
i need to feed him greens from the supermarket at least until summer at which point i can start bringing him outside and letting him...
Hey, guys so i recently just built a tortoise table for my 9 month old hermann tortoise. Size of the table is 6 ft x 3ft.
Now I'm confused with the humidity levels for a hermann, i read some places say only a water dish will be enough humidity for them and then i read here that it should be...
Yeah I've been getting carrot tops for free as my mom works in a natural supermarket. He seems to love them. Ive been trying everything that I read a safe. Just wanted to know what you guys personally feed from the supermarket.
Hey guys so where i am in Canada its turning into winter unfortunately so i cannot feed my baby hermann tortoise any weeds from outside.
i know its not the best for them eating store bought veggies but i have no other option during the winter.
My questions are what type of veggies that...
Hey guys I'm just wondering on what you guys normally feed your hermann's when it's too cold for weeds from outside.
Regular stuff that you can buy from the grocery store.
And what is there favorite food or treat that they csnt seem to resist.
Thanks!
i think the same rules apply when bringing it over yourself across the border and sending it through the mail.

Im pretty close to Montana, about an 8 hour drive. But unfortunately you need a permit in order to take a live reptile across the border.
[hr]...
There is yes, but there is a LOT of paperwork to file, and you have to acquire a permit which takes a very long time as well and there are guidelines you have to follow. as far as i have read at least.
You could always try and hope it wont get opened by customs but when you ship them they...
RE: Tortoise pricing!!
Yes unfortunately they are in the states :(
It must just be up here in canada that they are so expensive because in pet stores hermanns are going for 699.99 and cherry head red foot tortoises are going for 799.99
unbeleivable!!
Hey guys. So I'm just wondering about tortoise pricing. Mainly in Canada but I'm sure most of you can give me some advice.
I'm looking to get a hermann tortoise here in Canada and from where I have been looking they are ranging from 500-800 (mostly red foots are in the 800 range) and after...
I have some very sad news guys, i woke up to take him to the vet and he passed away.. =( this is very hard for me as i tried so hard to help him, i tried everything in my nature and he was doing so good the last two days, (walking around,soaking in

I have a good update for you guys. This morning when I turned on the lights. (nighttime temp was 82 throughout the night)
He was out and about. Walking around his cage and when I came home for lunch I fond him climbing into his water dish. A great improvement from a couple days ago.
And...
So in case anyone was wondering I was going to give an update on how he is doing.
I adjusted the temps in his enclosure so that the basking spot is between 89-97 degrees. With the cooler side between 80-87 (temps vary when I have my humidifier running into the cage because it is cool mist)...
Okay so I have had him eight days now. He was on the sand for no more then 24 hours nail I changed it. I don't think his temps have ever gone that much below 80,lowest they have gotten is probably 75
He has not eaten since they day I got him. Today would be the eighth day. The breeder said he...
Hey guys so here's an update on him.
M changing his enclosure around with what ascott said. I bought a Che. 160 watt

I'm going to attach a picture of my tortoise. Can anyone tell if his eyes seem puffy or infected? I'm starting to get worried about him as he hasn't eaten at all in a week and barely ever opens his eyes or moves around at all. =(
Any help if greatly appreciated
