Same thing happened to my family 10 years ago. We were driving and found an eastern box where there are none in the wild. Many people think they can just 'release' their tortoise if they don't want it anymore. Which is how I found mine in an area with no easterns. I'd say look for an owner...
Also the enclosure isn't a permanent stay for them. Just an area for me to have them outside while I'm outside that is safe and well put together. They will return to their indoor enclosures at night and on days I cannot keep an eye on them.
Okay cool thanks, the enclosure won't be a permanent stay btw it's for the days I'm outside I can have a safe well put together area for them. They will return inside at night and during days I cannot keep am eye on them.
Hey everyone! I have an eastern box turtle named Smoky,
Here she is now! My goal for her is to turn my family's old vegetable garden into a little courtyard for her and my Hermann tortoise.
There he is! His name is Chives. Now I'm creating a combined enclosure for them outside. (Yes they...
Hello everyone, I have a Hermann tortoise named Chives, he's a male with an unidentified age.
Here he is. He is very shy, and I want him to get out more, so I'm transforming my family's old vegetable garden into a tortoise courtyard for him and my Eastern box turtle.
That's her being...
Now for anyone else out there I would like to reiterate myself, as I had stated originally in my first post, and say that these sights made me very nervous of mistreatment however what I am asking is what to do for more information weather someone here could provide it or direct me to an outside...
The house they were kept in was dry and the picture above shows their type of environment. I'm sorry but I do not believe that
Such extreme pyramiding is just genetics without anything else involved. The people I spoke with believed that was I considered pyramiding and pointed out on ALL of...
I understand that there's no way to reverse pyramiding but even their baby tortoises they just got (Galapagos) are starting to pyramid and I want to know what you guys can tell me about the it more so. Like should I contact to person in charge of the tortoises at that part of the zoo should I...
So let me start this off with these are not my tortoises. I love to the zoo but on my visit today I noticed something very strange. All of the tortoises where pyramiding heavily.
Above is the picture of one of the tortoises. Along with:
In the enclosure of
Now as someone who loves tortoises...
I bought two plants for my Tortoises tanks. One for my Eastern Box Turtles tank. And one for my Hermanns tank. I can not identify the two plants even though I was told they were fine to be placed in the tanks. I can not seem to locate the plants online even though I purchased them at petco. Can...
So I bought plants from petco. Two plants and the lady who sold them to me told me they would be fine in my torts enclosures but I don't know since I can't find what plants they are anywhere online. Can anyone tell me what they are and if it's okay to place them in my torts tank?
This one would...
Okay so I'll start stocking up on those foods and looking more into what types I'll be able to grow in a vegetable garden. Thank you so much, I just want to make him as happy and healthy as I can and now I have full lists and am able to help him how much I can. I'll remove the bottom heater...
They have two bulbs for heat now and a heating pad under the tank. I do not have a temperature gun but I will be getting a thermostat to go on the inside of the tank. I agree though, if someone has a lot of pets people just keep giving that person more, because it's like hey the more the merrier.
I currently don't have room for a 4x8 turtle table right now. The room I have Chives in (my bedroom also called pet room by family) contains 5 baby snappers, 1 hedge hog, 1 eastern box turtle and now a Hermann. When people want to toss out their pets or don't want them anymore everyone seems to...
Okay I will try to get one soon. At this very day I have $100 to put out on Chives right now. I can get more soon but that's all I can spare for today. What would you say be the most important thing to get him?
