    Chris Leone- Garden State Tortoise & Hermanni Haven

    Yep, Jonathan! My baby is certainly healthy!! And if they get a great start like this, they will be strong adults if kept properly. But most of all, it's the interaction Chris has with people that really touched me in the beginning. He really did help me out and he's never met me before. It...

    Chris Leone- Garden State Tortoise & Hermanni Haven

    Here she is, already eating! If she wasn't healthy, she would not be so eager.

    Chris Leone- Garden State Tortoise & Hermanni Haven

    It all started when I was mislead and was told I got a THH and I found out she was really a THB from a reptile place near me. Chris was there for me when I was upset and was very compassionate about my situation. This had nothing to do with adopting a tort from him, he was just there as a...

    Newbie here and desperately need advice concerning my Hermann

    If you put her in a container small enough for her to turn around in, that's big enough for the baby food soak. The reason we ask you to soak her in carrot baby food is because it's a good way for her to soak up not only some kind of nutrition but so that she gets her vitamin A. Here's a hint...

    New Greek Tortoise

    Okay so now he knows and believes us, this is a place for learning! He will be able to trust us more! :) At least he admitted it and apologized, that is more than a lot of people will do. I'm just glad they are better set up than they were, hopefully he will be able to get them heat soon. Thank...

    I'm on a desktop so I went to click on my profile, I tapped my user name and I didn't see "replies". But I did see "recent activity" and found them there. Thank you for your help. :)

    How do I find my own posts?

    I posted something in reply to someone, then I wanted to add more but I could not find it. I searched new posts, and clicked on my own name and I did not find it.

    New Greek Tortoise

    I know that you really want one of them to be female, and I know that one of them seems like they have a smaller tail, I just wanted to show you what my female's tail looks like. This is a Boettgeri.

    My Tortoise is scraping his mouth when he eats!

    How long is the beak? Is it past his chin? If the beak is too long, it interferes with him being able to chomp down and take a bite out of the food.

    Another sickness problem with my Egyptian tortoise

    Try feeding cactus pads if you can. Peel the skin away and just give the flesh. If you have to, cut it up into smaller pieces so that he can just take it a mouthful at a time. It tends to be sticky so if they have to bite it, it annoys them because it sticks to their beak. Cactus will make...

    I'm normally a Boettgeri person, but this was offered to me.

    The owner got him when he was a hatchling four years ago. She was given a book to follow, so yes, she did the best she could with the tools she had. She loves him dearly but said she just doesn't want to do tortoises any more. I was offered to take this one in but honestly, I don't have the...

    I'm normally a Boettgeri person, but this was offered to me.

    Yeah she keeps him in this pool inside of a spare bedroom. She had him since he was a hatchling and I don't think she used much humidity. She said that sometimes he gets to go and walk on her untreated lawn to get some sun. His diet isn't the best but she said the book that came with him said...

    worried about inactive tortoise (in NE) - please advise!

    I spoke to a lady who runs a tortoise and turtle rescue near me. I got the cactus pads from the trail near my house. Or you can go a any latino store and ask for Nopales. Sometimes you can just find them at a regular grocery store.

    worried about inactive tortoise (in NE) - please advise!

    Okay I'm going to throw this out here. Dorrie had an issue last week where she didn't eat for three days, and didn't poop. I soak her every day for half hour, I offered different foods, yada yada. Heat was fine, so was humidity. So I decided to do a little more homework. I went down...

    Is this a Sulcata? I thought they were more round and lighter. Or is this a hybrid?
