Hello This is my eastern hermann, and i noticed these pink marks on his plastron while i was drying his shell after i soaked him. Is this something concerning or just growth? Thank you!

Three days ago I noticed some weird shell appearance on my Russian tortoise. It looks cracked, red, and it looked like fluid was coming out of it! (See below image). Today, I took him out of his enclosure and the area is soft to the touch (as compared to a hard shell).When I did press down to...

Well I messed up I didn't buy a backup night light and it blew last night for my tortoise groot. I'm not gonna be able to get a new one till next week. Should I leave the day light on at night too or should I turn the lamp off my room at night goes down to no less than 65 degrees.

I was sold this tortoise as a Marrocan Greek. I have looked at a lot of pictures and don’t see any which look quite like her. I find some similarities in Russians but she has too many claws on the front legs.. she’s apparently a. Few years old and 7.5” Any one able to help so I can make sure she...

My baby Sulcata named Franklin is about 4 months old. He is about 2 1/2 inches long, 1 3/4 wide. He was doing fine for a little but after a few days, he stopped walking as much, his eyes are shut, and he lost his appetite. I took him to the vet and they said they couldn’t tube feed him since he...

Hi, I recently adopted my Hermans tortoise Milk! in August milk will be 1, can anyone tell if he/she is showing signs of either gender? I know I won't know for sure for a couple more years but maybe someone can tell where Milk might be leaning:)

Hi , Im preparing for my first tortoise ! it is a baby Hermann tortoise. I have a tortoise table set up- its roughly 2feet by 3feet. For substrate I'm planning on using a 50/50 combo of organic top soil and Eco-earth and dehydrated moss, with drawer liners and a trash bag lining the wood where...

Our tortoise hasn’t really been himself lately. He normally is out and about in his habitat, eating a lot, and soaking under his heat lamp. These days he sleeps all the time, doesn’t leave his hide, doesn’t go under his heat lamp at all, and isn’t really eating. We’re not sure what’s up with him...

Surprise! Milo’s a girl!! Should I change her name?
