I will be able to upload a photo later today. Either way he is going to the vet for a general check up because I recently purchased him at Petco, and I wanted to make sure he doesn't have parasites or any other health issues that I cannot detect, but thank you for trying to save me the visit...

I use coconut coir as well, and I went through a lot of different substrates to see what worked best, it seems to win. I wish you luck!

Happy Birthday Guys! Have some fun today.

I'm worried that I am soaking my RT too often. I have been soaking him every other day for 5-10 minutes, but I read that it is a desert tortoise and needs a very dry substrate or risk of skin and shell infections. So moisture isn't good for him. How often should I be soaking him? When I got...

lol, maybe so

I think that if you really want two, just make sure that you have a back up plan if they don't seem to get along. For example see if you have enough room to have two separate enclosures. There is a good chance that there will be no problems. Many people have several healthy tortoises. Good luck...

I hope everything goes well, and good name choice!

He's adorable!

Welcome. Squishy is a great name. I just got my first tort a couple of weeks ago and I have gotten a lot of help on this site, I'm sure if you post a picture, people will know immediately if Squishy is pyramiding.

Welcome! I'd love to see pictures of Cleetis.

I am byfar not an expert, in fact I am new to this, but I did so searching on the internet and like everyone else it looks closest to a Sulcata, but is also similar looking to the Greek tortoises. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't think you are overreacting. I am a beginner and because of sites like that I triple check information from different sources.

That was beautiful to watch.

Wow. you sure do have several types. I can't wait to see pictures. What are their names?

The environment looks nice.

Hmm.. I don't know what the cause could be, but I hope that her appetite returns. Good Luck!

If you feel like you are not spending enough time with him and it makes you feel bad, take some time out of your week to devote attention to him. Maybe once a week take him outside and takes pictures of him and let him be curious and run around. I agree with the bookshelf idea as well. It will...
