Thanks everyone. It's been getting into the mid 50's at night, but warns up to the high 70's - mid 80's during the day. I'm glad to know I'm not freezing Leroy.

What are suitable low temps at night? How low can they handle?

Awesome little one. I have a male eastern, Leroy, and he's great. Best of luck with your new friend.

I'll be giving him more flowers now that I know he enjoys them. He even liked them more than hibiscus.

Welcome! To touch on what jacqui said, one of our members Edna has a wonderful male Eastern Hermanns for sale. I got my first tort from her a few weeks ago and he's great! Here's a link to her thread. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Eastern-Hermanns-males-for-sale#axzz23eXOjyim

Thanks! I put a flower and a few leaves in for Leroy. He came running over and ate the flower rather quickly. He didn't care for the leaves, but he may eat them later.

I know it's listed as edible, but is it the whole plant, flower only or leaves only?

Thanks Edna!

Male Eastern Hermanns, 2 years old. I live in the pocono mountains of northeastern PA.

Here's two pics of Leroy enjoying some greens. He's looking pretty good I think. Some seed mix starting to grow. Hope he likes it.

Thanks. I wanted to be sure I wasn't short changing the little guy.

I give my tort a warm soak every other day. I normally soak for 20-30 minutes. I really have no clue if that is ok, too long or not long enough? Please advise on how long you let your tort soak.

#6 looks like catsear aka false dandelion. Not sure on the rest of them.

Happy Birthday Edna!!!

Not that long at all. I'm sure it will go by quickly. Good luck and keep me in mind should you want to sell one.

How long will it take to complete incubation?

I have a mix of regular dandelion and catsear growing in my yard. Today I observed my Eastern Hermanns eating some of the leaves. Are they ok for him to eat? I know humans can eat all parts of the plant.

Congrats on the adoption. I just got an eastern Hermanns as well and they're awesome. Good luck!

My one dog has it happen quite often actually. His nails are brittle due to medication he takes for seizures. I normally superglue it or cut it off if I can.
