I have been corrected, I am getting better though.:)
GB knows better than me, I was thinking that the darker one was ibera greek though.
Guess i need to study my book some more...

Hello, The Tortoise labeled 4 in your picture appears to be female and the one labeled 3 appears to be male.
Which matches the species as the females are larger than the males. the give away is the shape of the plastron at the bottom near the tail. the v shape indicates a male and the more...
Hello again, My understanding is that Sulcatas breed more often and have much larger clutches when they lay eggs vs the Mediterranean species. Other members may be able to clarify better but i believe that Sulcatas will lay up to ten eggs a nest and lay 3 or four nests while a Hermanns will lay...
Hello, Your setup sounds good, From what i have read most opinion is to feed an amount equal to the size to cover the shell. My Django from what i was told hatched in March of this year and he is 2 inches 6 months old. Others have said to feed babies all they want. I follow the latter as he is...
:cool: I went simple, until i can finish my tortoise table as well. I went with a cement mixing tub from lowes and outfitted it similarly to this example with cypress mulch as my substrate for moisture retention...
Ok, First off welcome,
I'm Glad you are here and asking the right questions before making a purchase. That being said i'll try to help you as best i can.
1. As far as i have read the temp needs to be gradient 95-100 degrees under basking lamp- 85-80 mid and 70-75 cool side.
2...
I hope everything works out for you and Carl. :(
I will be watching this thread as i just got my Django a little over a week ago. I am told he is now 6 months old roughly and this worries me as well. But so far i have not seen any softness.
Just see what the vet says, and take it one day...
I would have to agree. :) It is dang hard trying to keep the humidity up in the Texas panhandle. The daily high temp is over 100 degrees right now, and the ambient humidity is only 20%.
you should be OK, i got my Hermanns from Florida so it is the opposite problem for me.
Good luck,:D

Hello ya'll,
I am down two only two options for cactus as i cannot find it in any of my local markets. I have found only the prickly pear fruit. My little one is to small for ordering a large amount online to be economical so my question is...
Would harvesting this wild cactus from my...
Thank you, yes the d is silent.
I got his name from the new Quentin Tarentino movie by the name of Django Unchained. I love westerns and action movies. It will work until he/she is big enough to sex. Then I figure I can rename if I need to.

Yeah as soon as the temps start to fall this fall, i will switch to the uvb.
He'll get outside for natural sun.
His enclosure is temporary, but it is sitting on a partially finished tort table. So his enclosure is temporary but his location is not. Does that make sense? He is located in the...
uva is not bad is it? I have a 100 watt powersun uvb i purchased but i believe it will put out to much heat. He is in the garage, and it is right around 80-85 degrees in there. The flood light has gotten his basking rock up to around 95 degrees. I plan on getting him outside under supervision...
:tort::D I got my tort today, I have named him Django.
He is a Eastern Hermanns.
He is in his temporary enclosure. ( any advice is welcome)
The lamp right now is a 50 watt flood light as i do not want to overheat him.
more pics to come.... i did not want to bother him after his...
Hello and welcome,
I'm new as well, i don't know much but i'll share some of what i have learned.
1. I would get rid of the sand and pellets these are not recommended as substrate as the sand can cause compaction if eaten and the pellets are just bad. (coconut coir is a recommended...
