    Is Kiwi a Hermanns or a Marginated tortoise?

    Hi all, I’ve had Kiwi for about a year and a half at this point, and when I got her, was told she was a Hermanns tortoise, but recently someone told me she was a Marginated tortoise. Can anyone help me out?

    Concerned about plastron

    Thanks for your help. The humidity is around 47% right now. Just changed the substrate so hopefully it will help. I also do have a large water dish in there but he constantly drags the substrate into the water and makes the water all dirty. Any tips on that?

    Concerned about plastron

    I’m unsure of the humidity, I put a digital weather station in his enclosure and am trying to get a reading. I know it’s dry because it’s been bitterly cold where I am and my heat is on constantly. What are some good ways to keep humidity up? I feed him a large handful of mixed greens everyday...

    Concerned about plastron

    Thanks for your reply. They told me after a year old that he didn’t need daily soaks anymore, maybe that’s the problem. He does have a large enclosure that’s closed, and a hide he goes into every night to sleep. I feed him greens and Mazuri tortoise diet.

    Concerned about plastron

    This is my 1.5 year old Hermanns tortoise, Kiwi. I’m really concerned about the deep crevices in the plastron seen in these photos. What is it and how can I fix it? Any help is really appreciated.
