Right humidity question..... My Jake is a horsfield tortoise. His humidity will not reach 80% it's going between 60-70%. I am misting his enclosure regularly, I just decided to move his water bowl closer to the heat lamp in the hope it will help, temp is fine. He's eating and bathing, weeing and...

Thanks. Always get scared of going near him when I'm ill lol

Do you know if tortoises can catch human colds/flu's?

He seems happy and alert. Here is a close up of him the red on him is just dodgy flash from my camera

Is it normal that my horsfield tortoise spits salvia when he eats. Only a bit and only when he eats.

hello my name is jake the mutant ninja tortoise and I'm one sexy tort!

I know he's gorgeous, he totally gets his beauty from me but if he's overweight I am not to blame.

Is my tortoise too fat? Serious question. I weighed him for the fist times at night. Will share a pic with him next to tape measure and a pic on scales.

I have a temperature thermometer in his home I also have a infra red gun to check temp, I will get myself a humidity one right away :) thanks

How do I check the humidity of my tortoise?

I've been putting bits on his cuttlefish, he seems to like that idea :) I've been keeping his food bowl topped up he doesn't always eat it all but when he eats he goes on a mission! Just don't want to over feed lol

I'm a proud tort mummy. You know what else is cute? My dog (chihuahua) won't go to bed until the tort lights go off then the second they do he runs to his bed and waits patiently to be tucked in. :)

How much food do I need to feed my tortoise in a day? Is there a thing as too much? Or do they stop when they've had enough naturally?

Sorry I never explained properly. My 'dude' is horsfield. He is so good looking. Runs in my family I think. Lol!!! here is jake. My dude!!

Hey, I have a little dude about 11months old. I would love to post a picture but I don't know how to use this forum. Any help would be appreciated:)
