Hi guys - long time no post! Just looking for some advice for keeping my Hermann's outside - I know there are some threads out there somewhere but I've had some trouble locating them. The UK climate is very temperamental, and I know that the most common advice is to provide an inside and...

Hi - sorry to hijack this thread. But I don't suppose you ship to the United Kingdom at all?

Unsure about the cat hair issue - but when it comes to little critters, pouring boiling water over the substrate and letting it soak works really well also!

Ah thank you! I believe you pointed out the early pyramiding a few months ago so I’m glad you decided to reply! Great news thank you :)

Hi everybody, I have been a tort owner for around 4 months now, I’ve learned a lot so far and finally have an enclosure, lighting and heat set up that I’m happy with and that fits all requirements suggested by the forum. Due to the pandemic, I haven’t had the chance to book Turtwig in for a...

Hiya, Just wondering if anybody has any info sheets, websites around tortoise’ laying eggs etc - this isn’t to do with my tort personally, I’m just really interested in learning more about the topic and trust this website as a source of information. Thanks :)

He has a lovely smooth shell!

If that’s your mindset when it comes to educating people then best of luck to you! Like I said, agree to disagree. Have a lovely night.

The OP has stated they will post pictures during the day as it’s too dark at the moment. I think it’s important to remember if you don’t have anything constructive to say, don’t respond at all :)

Hellooo, I was wondering if anybody happened to have any diagrams, labelled pictures or examples of identifying new smooth growth on torts? Bit of a weird question - but I feel like alot of the more experienced members comment a lot on shell growth and whether it’s new or old, pyramiding or...

He really had a little adventure and came home as if nothing had happened! So happy for you ?

They don’t necessarily need a basking area as such but they would need a source of heat - especially if as you mentioned, your room gets pretty cold. Ceramic heaters are good for this. Do you happen to have a hygrometer in your enclosure? If you can keep the humidity levels high with an open...

@Sherdil Hi Sherdil. Any update on your Tort? Is he feeling better?

Ah yes it was! No worries. I forgot I'd even posted about it to be honest! Have you tried their FAQ? They answer alot of common questions through there also.
