Wow they look perfect. How old are the ones in the picture you attached? Do they live outside already or still indoors? Pics a couple of weeks old but how bad is my pyramiding? Do you think mines growing how it should be? Someone said it's old growth that is pyramided then been told opposite...

They look fab! Will use that as an idea for when mine go out next year. Thanks for the info.

I think as I'm only having them indoors til next year I will continue with the endless spraying of them and humidifier etc as already had the enclosures built for the room now. Maybe I'll add something over the top to contain the humidity like foil etc. Mine last week was 43/44 now 45/48 grams...

Yeah I suppose for me keeping them in an enclosed box (I think you might know it of like Rubbermaid containers) or a vivarium which I read somewhere is bad so I opted for the open tables so I could poke me head in every 10 minutes and spy on them with out the hassle of taking them apart to check...

Yes understand what you mean, when I bought mine I thought tortoise tables was the best thing but I suppose it takes a lot of time spritzing it and that to keep the humidity high, adding plants, humidifier to the room etc it would of saved me a lot of time just having a closed enclosures. I was...

Yeah the just doesn't seem to be regular or recent ones. I'd love to see some pics of other people's 😊

Yes I agree, I suppose they wouldn't have the room for them all separately. When my mum got her 2nd Herman this year and she put it in its outside enclosure next to her older one but in separate enclosures. She said he must of sensed it as he charged out of his home with his head up. Strange...

Yes that makes sense. Reducing the stress on an individual tortoise but then I'm confused as why they are kept in groups at all if they really are solitary animals. Seems like they are definitely solitary animals and should be kept alone. I do wonder if any in the wild have ever been spotted...

Yes they've already been separated since my last post and the mvb has been taken out as advised. Not made a closed chamber as just don't see the point of having them if they are covered away just to get a completely smooth shell. My humidity is around 60 in one enclosure and 70 in the other...

Down for the night. So cute.

Such a shame. I'm from the UK so maybe they must be harder to get in the states possibly! It's surprising mine are so active since I always read young ones sleep all day but mine seem to do the opposite. Growing between 1-4 grams a week. They eat all their food should I just keep supplying more...

Does anyone even have marginated tortoises? I never see any posts about them. My 2 are so active and both still under a year old. They never go into their hides through the day and constantly eat and bask and adventure about! I know they are one of the hardest to grow smooth. Please post...

I bought them hay and grass pellets and wet them for my marginated, they are zoomed I think. Maybe try putting them on some of the greens they have added vitamins.

Did he grow quite fast as he looks so much larger then mine?
