I said Tyler was a breeder, not a pet store. I went to a breeder because I wanted a hatchling. Otherwise I probably would go to a pet store. Although Tyler's got a massive collection, definitely better care than a store!

It's just his color. He's a growing boy! I swear it's like they came in over night! He gets a pretty good inspection every day and I noticed the spots today! [hr] I figured. I'm so excited to see what he will look like!

That's a really good thought, wish I had thought of that last fall! [hr] That's what I've been thinking also. I've dropped it down a few inches a few months ago already. [hr] I really do need to invest in a meter. I've used them in my research lab, I just need to get one of my own...

I swear these spots on his legs were not there yesterday!

How often should I change the uvb bulb? It's about 7 months old now. I'm also throwing around the idea of an mvb. It would be easier to move in a few months if I didn't have to worry about a giant light shattering. I've read they are a lot safer now? What's a good wattage to use for a Greek?

A lot of determining if they are over weight has to do with their size. How long is he and how much does he weigh now? You could call your vet to find out what he did weigh. To see if my Greek is on track I always look for threads with people with Greeks. I look for similar size and ages.

Jacqui, I've got the degree, you've got the experience, we could team up and do it! :-)

I know nothing about yellowfoots so I'm trying to learn little by little. But I'm in an apartment at the moment and I have no clue how I would keep him or create an enclosure big enough.

I voted its ok. My Greek came from Tyler at tortoise supply. I mainly got from a breeder the first time because i wanted a hatchling. I had my heart set on a baby. I do have to admit that I feel a lot better about the petsmart that's here in Lafayette, in. I work next door to the petsmart, so of...

Oh boy... you do have your hands full!! Let's hope the new babies aren't getting any funny ideas from brains. Lol.

The great thing about good science, is that even if you come to the incorrect conclusion is that it will steer you in the direction of the right answer. While doing research for work or fun, you might believe the answer is one thing and then discover it's something completely different. If Tom...

I was curious about mine when I got him so i emailed Tyler and asked if he had an idea of when he hatched. He knew the week they started hatching. :)

And they are only a few months old... Man, poor Paul is so tiny... Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll remain a boy, and tiny for my Indiana cold winters. Lol [hr] Thanks for sharing though! I would love for some more ibera owners to get on here! In my opinion, there aren't enough photos of the...

I have food for my little one all the time as well. I've never really measured it but I just fill his bowl up and if he eats all of it through out the day I put some more in. Now mine is still a baby, so I do make sure he always has food. For an older Greek, if he eats all his food in one day...

I'm not really sure. I haven't heard anything like it. From my understanding, the shell doesn't really shed and new growth is the only changing thing on them aside from healing spots from damage or something. But I can definitely see what you mean, especially in the scute right behind his head...

Do you have a weight for your little ones and how old they are? I'm constantly curious if Paul is catching up in his weight. He's 6 months and was 36 grams this morning. He's right around 2" long.

Thanks! He's growing very nicely. Him and his legs are a constant battle. Here refuses to tuck them into his shell like a normal tortoise. He uses them just fine. They are always sprawled out like that though.

There is no denying it, he's growing up! I'm loving how dark he's becoming.

Cuuuteee!!! Maybe yours is mines brother. ;) Paul came from Tyler as well. Enjoy! The first few months were so nerve wracking for me!

My Greeks shell was soft until he was about 4 months old. The top of his shell was even flexible. It's hardened up now that he's 6 months. Everything I've read says its normal for hatchlings and they will out grow it.
