Hi sorry I made a new post it’s on my profile, I’m not sure what’s going on with this one

Hi, reposting because I didn’t post correctly earlier. Humphrey’s about 4 years old. He’s acting fine, eating, all else has been normal. Lately I feel like his face looks different, especially around his nose and eyes. It looks darker, even after his skin dries after eating or soaking. We do...

Thanks for the response! I haven’t soaked him yet because he was in that water for so long so I wasn’t sure, I’m hoping he’s gonna be fine he finished eating but now went in his dome

Temecula! I was so worried because it got pretty cold last night AND he was in the shallow water. Thanks for the advice, I’ll continue to keep an eye on him. He ate a little less than usual and now he’s going in his dome to sleep which I hope is fine. And 100% 😭 I’m gonna start doing the visual...

Update: Hes a little more awake now and is currently eating. I’d say he’s still a little slower moving than usual but I’m going to keep an eye on him. Also, since he was in the shallow water I believe overnight, his skin when I first took him out was very soft, his shell still felt hard. His...

Hi, I currently live at home and have my 3 year old Hermanns. When I’m not home my mom likes to try to take him outside even though I’ve asked not to unless someone is going to keep a close eye on him while he’s out. Long story short I came home and assumed my tortoise was sleeping in his dome...

Humphrey is a little bit over a year old; from as far as I can remember the bottom of his shell has always looked like this but is this normal?? I feel like it looks a little sunken in, his shell doesn’t feel soft at all either it feels normal and hard

Hi everyone, I've heard mixed things about using Reptisafe for tortoises. Is it safe to use for tortoise soaks since they drink the water sometimes? And is it also safe to use with water used for misting the enclosure? Thanks :)

Hi everyone, Humphrey has an indoor and an outdoor enclosure, for the majority of time he is indoors because he sleeps inside overnight. Now that it’s getting warmer I’ve been trying to leave him in his outdoor enclosure during the day but when he’s out there, he’ll eat and then he’ll go burrow...

Haha I love Armstrongs too I was so happy to find out they grow organically! I will try it out but switch out the soil just to be safe

Hii, so I’ve been wanting to buy some plants for Humphrey’s enclosure but I just haven’t been able to find a place where I’m 100% sure that it’s safe for my tortoise in case he eats it. I recently found out that Armstrongs Garden Centers grow plants 100% organically, but it does say on their...

Hi everyone, Humphrey’s an 8 month old Hermann’s tort so he’s still really small, I want him to start playing outside more in a space where he’ll be safe and won’t get lost. I got him an outdoor playpen and I wanted to fill it with soil or dirt of some sort, I read that plain garden soil with no...

I hope it’s normal ☹️ but yeah we have them growing in our front and back yard! It was a chore to remove them before I got my tortoise ??

~Repost! ?~ Helloo, Humphrey is about 5 months old, I was just wondering if his tongue in this picture taken today looks is a normal color? From what I think I recall I thought his tongue should be more of a pink. He eats a lot of spring mix and dandelion.
