Hi Chris, I’m in the uk and my son has been badgering me for a pet tortoise for quite some time now :) Your YouTube channel has been so helpful in providing reliable info on all aspects of care and the differences between species so I just wanted to say thank you. We are picking up our 10month old Western Herman at the weekend and thanks to you we feel we can give him/her the best start in their long and gentle life.
Discovering I can write a status and want an excuse to use the ‘🐢’ emoji and unreasonable amount of times🥲in other news we’ll be moving our red foot into her upgrade soon🥰

I just hatched 53 platynota. Got a few showing high yellow right out of the egg. How many do you want? I've got a few spotted turtle babies too. Not selling those though.

I have an adult male russian tortoise named Edward. I don't know his age and I know very little about his past. I have only had him for two months, after planning on getting a russian for the last couple of years.

I joined the forum to get more information tortoise diet, since the amount of information on the internet can be overwhelming. Found the forum useful doing my research and now I have an account!

What are your thoughts on my RES tank? It is 40 Gallons, however she was stunted and was not given the necessary care when she was young so she is about the size of a 3yr old juvenile.RES Tank

That's not the kind of animal they are.

ClL is Craigslist and FB is Facebook Market Place. Both on the internet.
I'm waiting for or resident experts to weigh in. My pancakes don't get enough outdoor time for abrasion, and the adults' are very long and straight now, and their walking seems natural. Some of my 1-2-3 year olds can have terribly misdirected nails, but too young to clip if needed at all.
What color nails does it like? My red foots like a bright orange-red to match.
Hello! My name is Rachel and I am looking to rescue a large tortoise. Preferably one who is older and wants to live the best years they have left on a farm with me and about 1,000 other animals! If anyone needs a loving rehome situation, please message me!

Hi all! I am new here! I am looking to buy a sulcata tortoise! Also some advice on what to put in cage and foods! I’m really excited to learn about this tortoise thing or obsession..lol
Hi Jacobk
I am very happy to hear that, and I would like to accept your baby sulcata , but now I have two 11-inch sulcata and a German Shepherd, I am worried whether the baby sulcata can be put outside in the sun with the two older ones, could you tell me what size is the baby Sulcata ?

Thank you so much
Have a great day
Hi Tom! Do you mind if I ask question related to sulcata outdoor enclosure? I’ve been planning to build one for my hatchling (2months), but unsure about the temps. I live in Indonesia, during the day temps usually 30-33’c, but I’am afraid it’s too hot. I’m planning to put him outdoor after 3pm when temps is a bit colder, around 24-27’c.

how long should the hatchling be put in the outdoor enclosure, and what time of the day?

I usually let him bask under morning sun for about 30-60mins every morning, and let him roam my parents’ lawn once/twice a week for an hour or so. Thank you for your help!

This needs to be in a thread, not on my profile. Make a thread in the sulcata section or the general tortoise section for these questions. There isn't enough room to answer adequately here.

got it, thanks Tom!
Is it murder when a Vet puts your pet down against your wishes without ever knowing what is even wrong with your pet ??

If you post on the main forums you can go into more detail and will get a lot more responses to this . not everyone reads the profile posts.
Hi! Im a new “mom” to a beautiful babe redfoot tortoise names Toby. Toby is almost 2yrs old now. We are building him a big outdoor enclosure completly surrounded and covered with chicken wire to protect him from birds or other wildlife. We live in south Louisiana so its very hot and humid here in the summer. And i plan on building Toby a insulated hide with some type of heating before he moves outdoors for good.

Hello and welcome! Sounds like a great plan! He will really enjoy lots of shade from the plants and some muddy puddles. If you don't mind, you can make a thread in the Introductions section with some Toby's photos :)
