Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I posted anything (shame on me). I need to post an update on my torts, but I need to take some good pics first. Anyway.... Apparently mice got into our garage and brought fleas with them this winter. One of my strictly indoor cats got out into the garage and...

Quick question. What is theproper weight range for an 11 month old Greek Tortoise? Thank you

I'm not sure if he just had a little diarrhea or if it was vomit. But when we went to feed Archimedes this morning we found this on on the rock he had just vacated. I checked him over for injury because I thought it might be blood at first. No injuries and nothing indicating it came from his...

I've already posted a fare few topics and responses, but never introduced myself. I'm Meggin, a new tortoise mom to an almost yearling Greek named Archimedes, he was a gift for my boyfriend but I claim him as mine as well. I know it may not be a he but we are associating him as such for now...

Good morning! As some of you who read/responded to my thread "To Redfoot or not to Redfoot?" already know I adopted (with my partner in crime/boyfriend) a 2 year old female (I think) Redfoot last night. She is lovely and I'm working on figuring out where abouts her markings tell me she is from...

Hi all just a quick question. Has anyone had success with humidifiers/water fountains in their redfoots enclosure? are they safe if they drink from them? I've got a soaking pool of course, but just in case they did drink from it. Are there toxins or chemicals or is it straight vapor? Something...

Hello all! I'm newish to the forums, my bf and I having adopted our first little Greek, Archimedes, in December. He will be a year old in April and We love the little guy so much. I was jumping around on Craigslist recently and came across a Redfoot being rehomed due to a new puppy. I had...

We have upgraded everything since we adopted Archimedes, except his uvb bulb. His previous owners had him in a 10 gal with a coil bulb and after reading about the coil kind being bad for a tortoise's eyes I've decided to get a mercury vapor on pay day. My question is: do his eyes look ok? I just...

Hello, I'm getting set to build a table for my 9 month old Greek named Archimedes. Was wondering if there were any specific water proofers/stains that were recommended and how long I should wait after they dry to put him in. Thanks!

Like every new Tortoise mom I want to make sure my little guy is eating right. At the moment he is primarily on dark leafy lettuces, endive and escarole mostly, and I'm photo checking the types of leafy veg I have in my back yard to verify it is edible before I bring any in. I'm avoiding the...

I am a new greek tortoise mom, I got my boyfriend our little Archimedes for Christmas. He is just under 3 inches and currently in the 10 gal. tank that his previous owner had him in. Don't worry he won't be in it for long! I'm in the process of getting him a much larger habitat and plan on using...

Hi everyone. I'm sure this is the most common post but... I'm a new tortoise mom and just want to make sure my little guy is what he is so that I can provide him with the best possible habitat. I was told he was a Greek, but being new I'm at a loss for telling the different parts and patterns of...
