What a beautiful shell!

Please, all I ask now, is that you all get over the whole, Hermanns with a red foot situation, as I ask again: Can I fix this by moving Penny(my hermanns) outside? My area is dry enough for hermanns, and I was planning on making a tortoise habitat outside anyway. Please, just answer the question...

Actually, they have many places to get out of the light. There are 3 hides, and many plants in the corner for them to get shade from. I also know you all think it is to humid, but I know this is ok, because Penny used to have horrible pyramiding, that was rapidly occurring, but once I brought up...

I do know that this is too small, so for your information, I am currently now experimenting with the size.

Hello everyone, I was thinking about what all you guys suggested after my research, and I was thinking; Even though my tortoises are babies, could I keep them outside? Of course it would be with some sort of fence and a cover, but my main concern would be heat. Would I be able to keep my...

Odd thing for you to say considering his success with healthy animals. He even says himself, hes always learning about the animals.

First of all, I would like to say that I’m only new to the keeping of tortoises. I have been studying them for a good two years now. I do not mean to offend, I did not say I know more than you all. I know you are just trying to help. I will do some more of my own research on the topic and post...

I assure you all, their is enough space for them both. Have you seen Kenan Harkin's setups for babies? He keep groups of 10s in one of these, and he's been working with tortoise for over 20 years. Both my tortoises barely use half of the enclosure, so there is no need to add extra area that they...

@Wendy Proulx There actually is no aggression between either of them! Sometimes I’ll find them napping side by side, or with a head rested one the other. They share the food bowl with no problems, and same goes for the water bowl. Happy you all care for them, I assure you they are the best case...

I know you may be concerned, but this I something I am sure is ok. My Herman’s was already acclimated to more humid climates before I had bought her, and this is the only reason I keep them together. If it were any different I would have separated them. I have much experience with these animals...

Here is some more pictures. I'm confused, though. What do you mean by "a northern?"

I think you could even lower the humdity, I have a friend who raises up his Russian Tortoise outside in a dry environment and it has no pyramiding. Make sure to feed no fruits, as this will be hard for the tortoise to digest, and will weaken the immune system as it tries to eat more.

This is so sad. May she rest in peace. I really hope you will have much better luck in the future. This was a rare thing which no one deserves to go through. Try to contact the breeder, chances are they will give you another one for free.

I'm surprised you would think that. I've heard multiple stories of success with this company and little to no occurrences with sickness or death as a result. I think Mango is in perfect condition, he is healthy, and very active. I'm just speaking from experience, but I don't know about you.

Hey everyone, good news! I ended up buying my baby cherryhead from Backwater Reptiles, and the result was amazing. He is healthy and especially cute, and i'm so happy I made the purchase. For your information, his name is Mango and just for fun I created an amazing name for his Hall oween...
