My tortoise isnt even that big, it might be called an adult but hes seriously not that big in my eyes, my Zoo Med tortoise house is perfect for him, he looks small in it if you wanna know the truth. and I already added a nice water dish for him, thank you. and by "walk" I mean hang out in my...

I was thinking the same thing (wondering if he actually had worms or parasites) but I was thinking, I live in Hawaii, and in order to import animals here they have to be quarantined and seen by a vet so wouldnt they still do that for Petcos imports? cause i mean hawaii has strict laws when it...

Hi! So I just bought a Greek Tortoise from Petco yesterday, I was planning on buying from a breeder but saw this little guy and couldnt resist, plus he looks very healthy just needed a good soak. I measured him and hes about 5" so I just wanted to know if anyone had any guesses on how old he...

Okay so I live in Hawaii but on the east side of the big island(hilo side, wet side), its not as hot and dry as the Kona side, I have a greek tortoise and im trying to figure out the perfect heat for my tortoise, my tortoises heat lamp gets to about 105 that ive seen so i raised it up and now in...

Thank you everyone for your responses, the thing is right after i posted this i bought a water dish online LOL i agree the animals should have the right to drink water when they want and need it.

Hi so i just got a Greek tortoise today, I have the Zoo Med tortoise house and I use eco earth substrate. in the hide box i have a lot of timothy hay and my tortoise likes to burrow in it. Other then that theres nothing in my tortoise house, does anyone have any ideas for me when it comes to...

Okay so I herd you could use fleece for your tortoises enclosure but idk if thats true? would that be safe? I plan on using Exo Terra coconut fiber for my zoo med tortoise house, or reptibark.
