    My yearling Ginger just passed

    So sorry for your loss. I lost my sulcata hatchling Kiwi a few months ago. I'm still very upset about it, but I think it will get better with time.

    Family "ghost" stories?

    This didn't happen to me or my family, but a family friend experienced it and still has nightmares today. I've never really had a chance to give this story before, but I found this thread and it was 9/11, on Saturday, so I figured it might be appropriate. So here's some quick background...

    Happy Birthday, Aloysius!

    I would post pictures, but I can't because I am unable to send images from my phone to my desktop, (which I am currently on) due to an account issue. Here is the link of a greenhouse that is similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082FY3B9W/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

    Happy Birthday, Aloysius!

    @Jacqui It was pretty good, and I got new plants and a greenhouse. There was also a large storm that left a hole in the roof of my family's rental house and a flea infestation, but other than that I had a great birthday. Have a good (hopefully tortoise-related) day!

    Mustang grapes?

    Thank you for the replies! There are only vines for now, so it should be safe.

    Mustang grapes?

    Hello everyone, I have located some mustang grapes in my yard and I wanted to know if they are safe for tortoises. I've found no info on the tortoise table or the forum, except for another post in 2011 where an answer was never found. Thanks!

    My plants

    It's been a while since I've posted on the TFO, and I've completely forgotten about this thread! Many things have changed since then. I've also been super busy with a surprise... I'll post pics of my plant friends when I can!

    RIP Grumpyface

    That's so sad! I haven't posted on the tortoise forum in a while, as I've been busy, but how could I not respond to this? I'm so sorry for your loss! We really need a cheap smart thermostat that will tell you if it gets too hot and other things, like a combination of a normal thermostat, a...

    Basement Greenhouse Enclosure in Western North Carolina

    I'm not the most experienced in this subject, but I had to undergo something similar I took a mini greenhouse (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P9T4CY3/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20) and put it over a spill tray (https://www.grainger.com/product/EAGLE-Basins-and-Sumps-5PW01) on an elevated wooden platform...

    hi (boy? girl?)

    Is that the enclosure or just the indoor house? If it is the entire enclosure your tortoise needs bigger. I'll let the other members help you out with that. I agree with everyone else, he most likely is a male. Still a bit small though, but I don't really know much about tortoise gendering.

    Greenhouse troubles.

    Your problem can be solved by wrapping the cord around the frame and taping it down the side of the wall and then having it go under it. Cutting a hole might work, but you would most likely want to seal it. if the cord is too short, use an extension cord or something like that or move the...
