We can learn so much from tortoises about confidence, or the lack thereof. Love it when worlds collide :)

Hello! My husband and I are looking for a smallish tortoise that we can keep in our home. Yes, we have the space (we have a reptile room for our 4 lizards with plenty of space for a big turtle area). We have looked at Greek, Hermann, Marginated, and Radiated tortoises and their care...
I live in the uae where temps regularly hit 40c, I don't think leaving them out to deal with it would be a very good idea.
How much time should they spend in the sunlight
Hello Everyone,
I joined the forum a while back but this is my first time posting.
This will be a long and detailed post, hope you can bear with me!
I got a Greek tortoise from a pet shop back in January, I called her Nina. I don’t know how old she is, because pet shops here in Saudi Arabia...
Hello.
I have ended up buying a pet store tortoise though I had originally intended on purchasing a young tortoise from a breeder when I began researching into it a year ago. It's almost definitely wild caught and I've called and left a message with a local exotic vet for an appointment for a...
I have a male and female Greek tortoise approx 3 years old FREE. Located around the Tulsa Oklahoma area. If interested, I will be happy to send pictures and answer any questions you may have.
I have been looking around in bahrain for a while and only found UVB lighting in pet shops but other than that I have yet to find any shops locally. Ordering online is incredibly bad, items are either really bad delivery prices (like 3 times the price) or completely out of stock. Does anyone...

Hello, My 3 year old tortoise isn’t moving the right back leg. I checked it today and it looks fine to me but she still isn’t moving it. Her leg was fine yesterday so i don't know what happened. She isn’t dragging it per se but there is very little movement. I am very worried, and I wanted to...
I just moved my Greek Ibera from a table into a 4 x 2 x 2 vivarium.
The issue I am having is the height of the vivarium in comparison to the bulb I am using.
The bulb is an Arcadia Euro Range 10-Percent D3+.
At the moment, it hangs down at the side, not in the middle as would be preferable...
Hello, I noticed that my tortoise had a white tail tip when I was bathing her. I'm not sure if it's a wound or a fungal infection. She's not acting weird or anything, she seems normal. Please help.
Hello, I'm going to go away for a month this December and I dont know whether or not I should bring my tortoise. Where I'm going is cold and I worry about her neing sick, but I also cant find a pet hotel or a babysitter. Is there anything I can do?
I adopted a fully grown Greek male a couple of months ago. He's never been able to look outside of his current enclosure, but since his previous owners just let him walk around in the house, he knows that there's an outside world. He spends all of his days trying to look our of the enclosure...
I wanna buy a well-started Ibera Greek tortoise but I don't know where to get one. There aren't any local places that I know of so if there are any breeders on here I could talk to or good websites anyone knows it would be appreciated.
Last year I got a baby Greek Tortoise and everything necessary for him however, even after following everything I had read he still died. I still have the enclosure, substrate, etc. so I wanna get another one but I would like to know if there's anything you think I should know beforehand? I'm...
Hi guys! So I am new to this, but recently was introduced to this site, and after looking through many posts I'm hoping I am able to get the help I need before my head explodes from being beyond overwhelmed.
So to start off, I got my greek from someone I had gone to middle school with. This...
I couple of months ago I had found a tortoise on the side of the road almost getting run over. The tortoise is not native to Maryland or the east coast so I must have been a released pet. I figured she is either a 1.5 - 2 year old Greek or Sulcata Tortoise. She wasn't taken care of well, her...
I was given all information on Hermanns tortoises along with my little guy. After a couple weeks and reading on only Hermanns I’m just realizing now he is not a Hermanns! Is he marginated or greek?!? And how old would you estimate? (Please note I have child size hands)
