Ok super close up right after a bath. Ok super close up after a soak.

Thank you so much! Her personality is absolutely intoxicating too, she got a worm for the first time yesterday and loved hunting it down haha

Is this better for their nose scales? Her head scales look so dry and almost burnt to me. I'm interested to see what they look like after more time in humidity and maybe a shed.

Its so interesting the variations that are possible! This one does have a red tail from above. I wonder if their colouring is diluted from poor care previous? Or maybe needs to shed.

Ok I know this is asked a lot but I'm curious on opinions. We acquired Nebbie from a rough spot in a 25 gallon tank with 2 other redfoots twice her size, no sign of humidity and vet immediately dx a LRI. She's on injections now. I was told she is a cherry head. What are your thoughts? (Pics...

Oh perfect! I've been weighing my two every week and measuring SCL every month to keep track of our feeding amounts too.

Oh yes! I have feeding slates for both, my hermann basically lives on his with his face in weeds lol Thank you so much for your advice and info

Absolutely! I have a year old cherry head currently in quarantine (somewhat of a rescue from a bad spot, on antibiotics now) in "her"(i know they cant be sexed this early) own closed chamber enclosure. I have a CHE with temp probe set to 82F-84F on warm side and 75-80F on cool side, mixed...

Looking for one/two yearling cherry heads in Canada - I'm in Ontario. Would prefer high red and/or marbling for my first breeding group (i would like to raise them myself over next decade) Would ideally bring them home for Oct 1st when we finish our big bioactive enclosure. Thanks!

Ah good point! Could it be a lily turf?

Could you create a humid hide for them? And maybe soak their enclosure throughout the day.

I think maybe the confusion arises from comparing a staple every day food vs a staple fruit fed on fruit days. Fruit shouldn't be fed daily and should only make up about 15% of their total diet. Greens and veggies being 75% and protein as 10%. (See attached photo for reference) So no fruit...

Hey! Judging by the flower on the first two it looks like Prairie Verbena, on tortoise table verbena is a moderate feed. The second looks like a spider plant which is safe. Hope this helps! Jesse

Absolutely they both have their own homes and no hang outs! I am all in for their care (zoology nerd here), I can't wait to build them new homes and enrich their long lives 💜

Hi everyone, After a great deal of research and convincing my family I am not crazy. My hubby adopted a 4 month old Eastern Hermann's tortoise for me in May. We named him Pete Moss(we don't know if he's a he but its stuck now lol) and dare I admit I love him more than anything? (Maybe not my son...
