Appreciate it makes me smile knowing I’m doing right by the lil girl

Awh poor thing must of not been cared for at all by the seller, when we got her in Dec 16/25 she was 6 months old and weighed 50 grams

Mind you I only check the shell compression like once every 6 months, don’t think it’s something that happens over night so I do it rare to avoid stress and harassing my torts

280 grams is the highest we’ve weighed her in at, we weigh weekly, I pretty sure I’m at the okay amount of weight for her size, she’s only 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, she will be 300 grams hopefully end of month, she’s gained anywhere between 25-50 grams steady since getting her on Dec 16th...

Had her for lil over a year now, born last June. Got her from tails and scales if anyone knows of them, healthy baby, eats like a machine, loves to digs has healthy poops. Just wondering how the shell looks I over worry about pyramiding so thought I’d ask some other keepers who raised from...

He eats, sleeps, poop, I walks normal, I know they won’t show problems till it’s too late why I’m stressing so much rn

He’s been to the vet last month got medication for a small bit of snot it’s been cleared up, took fecal sample said he’s good, tested him said he’s good, mind you we have no specialist in our area and my car is broken I was inspecting him as he lost a small scale on his arm, went to see his back...

Really not trying to be an *** or rude but I’ve been owning and caring for these guys for nearly 10 years and have a passion for it. Don’t need people chiming in on how to care and look after them, considering I’ve been doing so and a good job at doing so, this would be no different then me...

First I don’t mix, they live separately, the baby has a closed enclosure, he has heat and warmth 24/7. second I’m aware of how much space they need, I live on 4 archers, I expand as they need, I notice they claw at walls I expand their space, all my tortoise are happy and content. Third, if...
