Yes it is glass; we attempted to block the glass he could see through with liner used for pantries, but my mom and I are looking to get him a new enclosure now. So yes, I will be sure not to get a glass enclosure.
Haha, yes that is his little home :) Though little is right! I'm going to need to start looking for a new house for him!
Here is a picture of Speedy (because at the moment he is napping):

Hello Gillian! Thank you for the reply!
I live in the Midwest of the USA. The past few winters have been brutally cold but luckily we haven't had any snow or extreme cold weather yet! But that is good to know that they tend to lose appetite in the winter. I thought that Golden Greeks didn't...
Hello everyone!
I have posted on here a few times- I have a golden greek tortoise named Speedy. He has always been quite the active fellow (hence his name) but in the past two months or so he is not as active as he used to be. I've also noticed he doesn't eat as much as he used to. (He DOES eat...

Okay I will when I can. On top of my poor tortoise my mom's 6 month old puppy is in the ER and it's not going well so I will post it when I get the chance.
And thank you again so much for all your help!
It's definitely not a coil type. I remember when my brother first got his tortoise the vet told him and my mother to purchase a certain bulb so he can receive the vitamins or rays he needs. I can't remember what the exact type is but I know it was in the $40 range. However it is possible because...
Hello! I've noticed in the past few days my tortoise keeps rubbing his eyes. In addition his eyes don't look quite normal/how they usually look. I recently cleaned out his cage and used the same bedding but used a small quantity of the sand my skink uses below it but my tortoise's bedding...
