I'm looking to re-home 13 year old herman tortoise 🐢 A little about her: She's 13 never hybernated. Lives in a very large 4x8 enclosure nicely decorated with heat lamps uv dishes edible plants etc. small abrasion on her carpas as she kept flipping herself over on her Petri dish water bowl. Been...

Is this one ok? You named alot and when I typed it in this came up for substrate

Ok looks like this is what's in the threads to get And the enclosure is indoor 4x8 with pond liner bottom. Can you please tell me what the meter should read? Also her apt is Sunday. Should I be "dry docking" her until then so she doesn't get the perti bark in her open wound?

Just this one. What else do I need ease?

Ok working on a bigger one as we speak

Ahh crud ok. She won't grow any bigger so thought that would be suffice I can get a bigger one built. She has NO halogen mercury or coil. I can get a tube uvb if I need to. Can u tell me what wattage then for that or possibly a pic of one on Amazon. We have an apt for her on Sunday but should I...

Pics provided She's a herman tortoise 9 years old. Never has had any issues but is a picky eater

Recently I have found my tortoise upside down multiple times a week. Now she has a small spot on her underbelly. I've taken everything out of the enclosure so she couldn't climb and get stuck and it seems she's climbing the wall and flipping. She use to be able to turn herself back over. Now she...

I just bought a repti fogger to get the humidity up and its done the job perfectly and went from 40 to 70 on lowest settings. My question is...is it normal for my herman to now be WAY more active? He went from sleeping all the time to now on the go and explori g and climbing like 8 hrs straight...

I have the same type of questions. I just bought a fogger because the indoor enclosure doesn't produce enough humidity but the temp is perfect. We've been constantly soaking it down as we patiently await the new fogger. He's 3-4 yrs old not young but I've been taking him out during the hot times...

Im soooooo jealous thats a beautiful setup and they look so healthy and happy.

I had the same problem and just bought the fogger machine to help. We are covering the enclosure top and wrapping the entire terrarium with blankets to keep the humidity and temp up. We were told to put the water on the cool side so it wont dry out in there and spray it down inside with a spray...

We just got a tort today and I think we got the wrong uva uvb heat size. 40 gallon tank 5.5 zoo med light plus heat at 75 watt. Its too low for the tank we have. Its only about 75 degrees and humidity is 55. Is this ok??? All stores are closed. Will he be ok until morning or does anyone have...
