I've read conflicting views on keeping a Hermann's substrate moist.
I have a 3 year old Hermann's and I currently mist his substrate as he seems to like it more for digging down into.
I've read that this could cause respiration problems, but I've also read to keep it moist and humid...
My Hermanns tort seems to have got these patches on his shell.
They are like rings and lighter in colour, under the shell surface.
He gets regular soakings and enough UVB and vits.
Is it anything to worry about?
Hey, I heard tortoise can eat cactus and that it is quite a good addition to their diet. Is this true? Are there better kinds of cactus than others? Are there any I should avoid? And obviously I will get rid of the spikes first :p
I quite like cactus and would like to grow some for him to eat...
Hello! I'm new to owning a tortoise but I have been a long time reptile owner, currently owning three leopard geckos and now a new one year old Hermann's tortoise.
I'm building him a nice big home (indoors) and I want to make sure I do everything right, and save him from any potential health...
