    Outdoor enclosure for Greek tortoise in Phoenix

    Yeah it's that tortoise and he is still small, which is part of the reason I was thinking I didn't want to leave him out too long. I was planning on soaking him and putting him out for a couple hours in the morning and then bringing him back in. I like the idea of soaking him when he comes back...

    Outdoor enclosure for Greek tortoise in Phoenix

    Hi all, I'm building an outdoor enclosure for my Greek tortoise. We live in Phoenix and it's pretty hot here already. At the moment, it's still dropping into the 70s at night and only hitting 100-105 during the day. What I'm wondering is, should I only put him in his outdoor enclosure in the...

    Subspecies identification help please

    Outdoor Enclosure Floor

    Outdoor Enclosure Floor

    Thanks for the info, that's really helpful. I was wondering if he was too young to have outdoors, so I had asked the people at TortoiseSupply. I figured since we're in similar climates, they'd know, and they said they house all their tortoises outdoors. Maybe I'll wait at least another year...

    Outdoor Enclosure Floor

    Hi all. I'm getting ready to build my golden greek an outdoor enclosure and I wanted to get advice about a floor for it. I was originally thinking of using hardware cloth on the bottom so I don't have to worry about him digging out, but that's not the cheapest. Is that the best option though? Or...
