    Anyone working with T.g. nabeulensis? Cyrenaica?

    Hello all, Been quite a while since I've been on here. I'm curious, other than Chris, is anyone else working with nabeulensis? Or any leads on getting on a waitlist for some? Same with cyrenaica? These have been on my dream list for a while now. I saw a few cyrenaica were recently posted to...

    Pyramiding in young pancakes

    Thanks! I figured their deformities were due to a mixture of improper humidity and nutrients. So I thought a mixture of the aforementioned would help get them on a decent track. I feed my greeks spring mix during winter (Washington) since I don't get to find much in terms of weeds. I'll start...

    Pyramiding in young pancakes

    So I just picked these two little ones up today (hatched in january) They obviously have some pyramiding starting. What I am concerned with is the divot behind mid-point along the vertebral scutes. What are your thoughts? I will be supplementing their food with calcium powder and repashy...

    Acclimating a new Home's

    Ok that sounds like a better plan. Do you have any links of enclosures people have used for their hingebacks? Google can't show me much. And my brief scan on the species specific page hasn't brought much, either.

    Acclimating a new Home's

    Thanks for getting back to me guys. She is in my room which is quiet, except my dog can be a hassle sometimes. How long do you recommend i keep the lights off for? Her ambient temperature sits around 76 with a Hotspot of 82. And 70% humidity. No interest in mushrooms, yet. Going to try papaya...

    Acclimating a new Home's

    Hey folks! I have had experience with ibera greeks and I was recently at a show where lllreptile had a pair of kinixys homeana available. I did some quick research and decided to buy them. I know they are wild caught and I should not support this. However, I wanted a new species that stayed...

    Ibera Greek pairs

    Thank you all for the reply, and I apologize for my ignorance! What do you guys think of a 4x6 foot table? Still not so feasible? I also neglected to state that with this enclosure build, I will be making a railing in the center so I can split the enclosure in half if (or when) my male feels the...

    Ibera Greek pairs

    Hi Folks! It has been a while since I have been on here. Long story short I moved away for school, and left my tortoises to be cared for by my parents. I separated my pair because all my male ever wanted to do was breed and I was scared he was stressing out my female. Well, now I am in a place...

    Hatchling Ibera Greek tortoise care

    Wow, thank you so much! Would advise RO water or tap water (in my case, tap water is spring water, I don't live in city limits so It's chemical free.)

    Hatchling Ibera Greek tortoise care

    WOW! This is a great ton of information. Thank you so much. But, when you spray, do you just take a spray bottle and soak/cover the entire shell with water until it drips? And is twice a day sufficient, or more? Thanks again, Michael[hr] WOW! This is a great ton of information. Thank you so...

    Hatchling Ibera Greek tortoise care

    Good morning everyone, I have been reading throughout some posts on here lately and I recall some people talking about spraying hatchlings while also providing a humid hide. Can I get some more information on this spraying subject like why, how it works, and how long should I do this for? Once I...
