Is it a boy or girl, it is lovely by the way. How old is he/she ?

Thank you, i will take mine out when it is warm enough and make sure the garden is fully closed off, by the way I love your tortoise.

Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it.

Both, when it is warm enough I will keep them outside as much as I can and when it is colder I will bring them in.

OK thanks everyone, it has been really helpful so far. :)

I was thinking of eventually getting both.

Trust me, don't keep the lizard and tortoise together!

The tortoise had really bad injuries. Really don't keep them...

I am not sure whether to get a hermanns or a Greek tortoise? I am growing on the Greek tortoise but I am still not sure. Could anyone help me out? Thanks.

I am getting a Herman's and I am calling him/her sprout. What will you call yours?

OK thanks, I was originally going to get a Herman's but held a Greek tortoise and fell in love with both of them! It is so hard choosing, I might get one species and later on have another enclosure for another species. But I still wouldn't know which one to get first. I just love any tortoise...

Please help me out, I am getting a tort but I am not sure whether I should get a Herman's or a Greek tortoise. What do you have?, what do you recommend? Is one species more lively than the other? Or does it just depend if you get one with a good personality? Please Help. Thanks. ;)

I was going to get a Herman's but now that I have seen and held a Greek tortoise I am not sure which one to go for. Do you know which kind would be best for me? I have done a lot of research bit I am just not sure which one I like best? Please help me out here. Thanks.

How would you make sure the humidity level is right? [hr] Also thanks for the advice guys ;)

Can Tortoises go outside in the UK? Is a ceramic bulb at night needed 50w Ok thanks, I am going to look at a few Herman's tomorrow and I will ask lots of questions about them. Thanks for the help. If it gets too cold at night I was thinking of getting a ceramic bulb to heat up the enclosure...

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I know tortoises should be outside but in the UK it can be freezing even in the summer and I was wondering if a hermanns should go outside? I am worried since it is very rarely even 16°c over here ( even in summer ). Could you please help me out. Any...

Hmmm a tricky one, you could try putting a trail of food towards her bowl or you could put a treat inside the bowl to see if she will come to the food and eat the treat and the food. Its worth a try.

Ok thanks :)
