I recently bought my first tortoise that was a Golden Greek. Little did I know this tortoise was from a bad clutch and was never supposed to live very long. I did all I could to try to get this tortoise healthy but after many visits to the vet they told me there was nothing else I could do...

We just dropped Cleo off at the vet, so keep your fingers crossed :/

We are going to a vet this morning. Thank you everyone. What worries me is she wasn't soft until this week. I will PM exoticdr: thanks for the advice.

She is in half aspen, half coconut coir subtrate with some moss in certain areas and plants to hide under. Warm side is kept between 90-100F and cool side 70-80F but she usually spends most of her time on the hot side. She eats organic spring mix with calcium powder sprinkled on top and we use...

Last week our baby golden greek tortoise flipped over twice in her water dish and now her whole shell is soft and her belly is almost all a dark blue or red like she has internal bleeding. Attached is a picture. Does anyone know what's happening?

Haha yeah I guess we are. :) she feels like a new child. Now I get why some people treat their pets as children. Lol

Thank you so much. :) Haha yeah we like laying in bed with her sometimes because she gets really active and tries climbing on us. Thank you Sarah, we worked on the enclosure and had a few attempts and a lot of forum reading research until it was perfect for her. The wet side is usually...

So we got our new little baby a week ago, and now that she's finally settled in, got a name, and has taken some adorable pictures. Her name is Cleopatra, but Cleo for short. She's a two month old Golden Greek tortoise we ordered off of tortoiseshack.com Her enclosure is a 60 qts under the bed...

Well just got in our new baby, a two month old golden Greek named Julie. :) here's a few pictures of her

Thank you

My room mate has a golden Greek hatchling and I'm pretty sure it has shell rot. Could y'all confirm it? And if it is what needs to be done?

Hi My girlfriend and I are getting a two month old golden Greek female in a few days and I have been kind of thrown into this as we both haven't ever raised a tortoise before and didn't realize that it was so difficult to raise them. She has always wanted a toroise and has raised red ears for a...

I am getting a two month old golden Greek tortoise and I've been reading up on a lot of things, but one I still have a question on is diet. mine will be kept indoors since I live in an apartment right now. I know the best case is to grow plants and weeds for them to eat, and I did order some...

From tortoiseshack.com. They are 2 months old.

Yeah we are quite heartbroken since we are already attached to the little guy who we named potato but we aren't ready for a big tortoise yet. It's sad and I hope he gets a good home.

I'm getting a golden Greek Tuesday. I'm so excited!!

Well y'all were correct. They gave us the wrong tortoise, so we are returning him and getting a golden Greek instead. :)

Well it turns out they did send us a marginated tortoise so we are sending him back Monday and going to get a golden Greek instead.

I'll look into it, thank you. I believe I have to wait for the next group of babies to be born.

Yes I have. I sent pictures for proof and I'm waiting on a response.
