Hi All
Have just been for a routine check up with my tort vet before I hibernate Herbie for the first time. This last 3 months we've indentified her as a girl - she's about 7 years old now. He scanned her and said she was producing eggs (a little young but said it was because she was in...
Hi All
Just a question re fridge hibernation. Am going to my annual pre hibernation check up tomorrow with our reptile vet who's an advocate of fridge hibernation as the temps fluctuate up and down here in the UK over the winter. Does anyone else do it and any tips for us? Am scared to death...
Hi everyone
I know we all live all over the world but this is more of a gereric question around garden behaviour.. Herbie has an outdoor run which she enjoys but spends 90% of her time trying to eat small/ medium even large stones! I worry that she will choke! She loves climbing and digging but...
Hi there
Please can you tell me whether Herbie is male or female? He/she is 7 years old - any advice is greatly appreciated!
:tort:[hr]
Also if he/she's Western or Eastern would be really helpful if anyone knows?
Many thanks!

Hi there,
Does anyone know of a good link to a weight chart? Herbie weights 118 llb and I'd like to see if this is normal.
Big thanks once again

Hello everyone,
I'm a new mum to an abadoned Hermann (approx 9 months) first vet appointment on Monday to give him the once over. All seems well so far, he's eating well, has a smooth shell, sleeping well, basking for most of the day and having a little wander every now and again.
I was...
Good Morning,
I'm a very new Mum to my baby Hermann who's about 6 months old. He was abadoned and since reported him missing via RSPCA I'm now his Mum and very happy about it ;-) I've been seeking advise from various owners, pet shops, online websites but am still a little confused. I've ended...
