Hi. I have seen the posts about coil lights by zoo med. I had already purchased one by "Thrive" . are only the zoo med ones bad or should I return this one asap?
Thanks
I have a 6.5" tort and a 6" tort both females. The bigger one will put her front legs on the back of the smaller one or ram her head into the smaller ones side. The smaller one is minding her own business and allows the other one to do this without even walking away. It does not appear to be a...
All of my babies are home and healthy! I am so happy. So here is a cute thing. My bigger female, now that the smaller female is home, lays with her head and neck up on the back of the male who happens to be the smallest one with the biggest appetite. Is she claiming him as her buddy or just...
I talked to the vet today and they have not seen any worms the last couple of days and she is eating well and so I will leave her a couple more days just to keep everyone safe and then she comes home! I can't wait!
Thanks for asking. :)

Thank you. What kind of tort are you getting...
I had just bought her so if I let them take care of the treatment., they foot the bill. Plus., being new I wasn't comfortable treating her myself. And that way I don't expose the others so it was safer for all involved.
Everything I have read said Greeks are herbivores not omnivores and should not eat worms insects or other proteins. They cannot process high levels of protein so it could actually make them sick. I would stick with green leafy food. :)

They have not been together at all yet and I have been watching Adonis carefully. So far so good. I got a call from the vet yesterday and my Lexi gets to come home in two weeks! I can't wait. I call every couple of days to check on her.
Adonis is funny. I have been leaving him alone...
Thank you! Poor my little Lexis is at the vet. She had worms so she is staying there for treatment. :( I miss the little critter. Adonis is still shy. We just brought him home Sunday. Any ideas on how to draw him out of his shell. (Pun intended) :D
I had a small turtle when I was little. I have always been fascinated by turtles. I did not want to deal with aquatic turtles though. So we started reading about all of the different types and found that Greeks are completely perfect for our lifestyle and what we were looking for.
Hello. I have been reading this forum every evening for the past two weeks so I decided it was time to introduce myself. We live in northern New Mexico and have just purchased our first two Greek tortoises. Lexi and Adonis. We are super excited! This forum has already been very helpful in...
