I have had a Hermes tortoise for ten years now. She has been kept inside as I live in Alberta. I’m interested in possibly having her go into brumation this year but want to get the correct advice on it before trying it. Thank you

Well this is my new table for my Hermanns. It’s 9x3 feet and has some storage underneath as well. Ive heated it with 3 150 CHE’s and then his basking light.

I have a 18 month old Hermanns which I just built a new table for. It’s nine feet by three feet and has 6 inches of loam with coir mixed in. I have three 150w CHE and a basking light. Temps under and around the lights tange from 80-95. Then the ambient temp is around 70ish ( outside the lamp...

Maybe I can get some opinions on how to heat my new TT for my Hermann Tortoise. He is now a little over a year old and I’m building a 10x3 foot table. Gow many heat lamps do you think I will need and how far apart? I thought I’d leave his hide end without any heat on it, so it is a little...

I want to build my year boy a 10x4 new table that is raised up off the floor and will blend in nice to a family room. Looking for really nice unique ideas or better yet photos. We are in a cold climate so he can never be outside. I would love to view him from chair level but I know him seeing...

Does anyone use a one way glass in their indoor tables? Wondering how well it looks and works? I’d love to install some in the front of my new table so I can view him from the side rather then just the top. I’ve been told it doesn’t work really well if there is more light on the inside then...

Just wondering if it’s pyramiding? He is about 10 months old now. Thanks

I have a 4 month old Hermann that been a really good eater since I’ve had him (sept) for the last three days he isn’t eating and is wondering around a lot in his table. He has his morning warm soak and then just travels and travels, even trying to climb the rocks and ending up upside down...

Bernie (formally Benjamin) likes to water bath on his misting dish.

I'm just wondering how long it takes to see pyramiding In 3 month olds? I have been watching a couple Hermanns at a pet store and although they are not getting baths, they are not showing any signs yet.

This is what I woke up to today Going to be no more weeds, clover and nettles from the yard till next April My little Hermanns is not going to be a happy camper.

My little Benjamin is doing really well. He eats well and is active most of the day. His lights go on from 7 am to 7:30 pm. I notice that his activity seems to end about 4-4:30 pm every day and he then buries himself or goes into his hide for the remainder of his daylight hours. (plus the night)...

Well I put some half dead Irish moss in my Hermanns enclosure and thought it would probably just die totally off. But instead it has greened up and grown an inch! It must love the humidity and my lights! I also love the looks of it. Definitely a good thing to put in your enclosure if you have...

Hello, I was soaking my three month old for 15 minutes a couple times a week when I first got him. Since then I have developed a morning ritual, when he comes out of his hide I put him in his water dish with fresh warm water ( about 95 degrees ) I leave him in there while doing my other chores...

I was wondering what your torts favourite foods are? My little guy is open to trying most everything, but I think his favourite so far are the flowers ...hibiscus, rose and pansies.
