I bought a 2' x 4' enclosure a few months ago, just before I decided to look to move. I decided to wait until I was in the new place to get my new tort buddy.
Now I'm getting ready to move and am planning out what to get to set up my enclosure properly for a Greek tort. This will be my...
Hi,
I have been looking forward to becoming a first time tort mom for about a month now (when I started working on my enclosure). I'm almost ready for a tort (just need the lighting and substrate) and was planning on a Greek tortoise (which I have extensively researched).
A reptile expo...
I know there have been posts on this, but they all give varying information depending on the exact breed of Greek, ect. I'm preparing to get my first Greek Tort, and still need to buy the substrate. I want to do a 50/50 mix of something (or 40/60 is fine).

I know that there is the Zoo Med PowerSun UV...

Hi Everyone!
I am a soon to be Greek Tortoise mama, and have been doing a lot of research as of late about Tortoise diets. Some facts are contradictory, and I am landscaping my Tort's enclosure now, so I was hoping someone could give me some advise!
This is the diet list I have put together...
When I first started looking into getting a Tortoise, I took a trip over to Petco where my sister worked. I'd been a member of this forum for a little bit by then, and immediately knew that the tortoises were not being "well cared for." There were three tortoises in one enclosure no larger than...
Hi, I'm going to get a Russian Tortoise in about a month. Right now I'm planning out my tort's housing, which I don't know too much about yet. I've read that many people are against glass terrariums, which is origianlly what I was going to purchase. Unfortunately I live in an apartment in New...
