Hi! Can anybody link me some good enclosures for my Greek spur thigh tortoise? His viv is far too small! Unfortunately when my parents got him for me 15 years ago we were given all the incorrect information! Even his certificate was wrong as it says Herman and only found out on here yesterday...

I have been driving myself crazy for over a month looking for a new house for my yearling redfoots. There is absolutely NOTHING geared towards tortoises other than your typical small tanks or tables. My guys live on my large screened lanai (Florida) with a modified chicken coop as their...

We have a large fish aquarium, low sided and long. It's 59 gallons, and I was curious if there was a tiny tort species that would actually do well in such an environment. Obviously I'd be doing lots of outdoor exploration in the summer and spring, but for the winter I was curious. If not, I'll...

Im looking at getting a tortoise within the next few years (or longer depending) as they're one of my favourite animals and I absolutely love redfoots they're my favourite species but I do live in canada so i would not be able to keep one outside. I would probably have an indoor enclosure and...

Hello, I recently visited a family member who was gifted two Greeks (I don’t agree with this practice whatsoever). Just by looking I felt like their enclosure was too small; from amateur measuring it seems like they have 11.5” x 17” in a plastic container with a tick paper sheet as bedding and...

Hello! I'm raising two 7 month olds and a 4 month old. Thank you for all the information. I wish I had known this website earlier. Can you guys give me some feedback on my setup? and I have a few questions. After reading Tom's sticky thread, I extended my humidifier into their enclosure. I...

Hi all, I'm designing an enclosure for my Redfoot, ~15M. Just have some design and placement questions Specs: 8'x4' x2' tall. Two hides, second story over the larger one. My first question is if there are any design flaws any veterans can identify, things like hides being too big/ too small, or...

Hi all tortoise-friends! I have just got into this forum, and I need som tips and advices on my Hermann Tortoise. Franklin Dumbledore is a 4 year old Hermann Tortoise. I’ve had him(I think it is a boy..) since October 2020. I have never hibernated him before, but I’ve read that he should be...

A while back I got a new tortoise table built, I lined it with plastic pond liner and roof liner to try and make it water waterproof as possible. Unfortunately, as time went on water got through and now the wood on the base of the tortoise table is starting to get mould on it (starting to worry...

I plan to buy two Aldabra hatchling next spring and want to start preparing. I couldn't find detailed information about enclosure. I live in Houston, TX where it seems to be perfect natural temperature and humidity during 8 months/y or so excluding bad days like hurricane or rainfall. I think I...

Hello again. It has been a hot minute since I posted last, and I have some more questions for you guys. 1. My Leo in this past year has been particularly picky when it comes to grasses and hay. I’ve done my best to mix in tortoise diet in to get her to eat it with her other foods, but she will...

A few weeks ago we got a Brazilian Cherryhead red footed tortoise, but we are first timers and learning. It was born 6/3/2022. I bought a larger enclosure for it so it will last it a couple of years before we transition them outside. I have looked through threads for hours and figured it was...

Hey guys my leopard tortoise, Sharpie is about 9" x 12" and will be 6 years old in November. We built her an indoor enclosure that she's just too big for now. It's 27 sq ft.
