    I think I'll just give him a house saving it from the snow and hail and try my chances. I feel like the hardy nature will adapt and overcome. It stays very dry here otherwise and GENERALLY, will stay between 32-50f in the winter

    Would he live through the winter? Would he make it? That's what I'm going for I guess.

    I have a hermanns, full grown adult. I now want to house him outside in my backyard....it's tortoise proof. But I live in central Texas and in the winter it snows, will he be able to survive these conditions? Thanks.

    Shell growth

    I got it from petsmart a few months ago, housed as below, regular bathing and healthy diet, temps, and the ability to graze outdoors daily. Petsmart not being the best of choices, probably started some kind of bad healthy I'm trying to reverse.

    Shell growth

    I noticed today my tortoise shell looks like it's peeling and flaking off, should I be worried or is this normal? Never seen it before. Thanks.

    What to do??

    Usually I feed my adult hermanns romaine cucumber, kale, and turnip greens as a staple, and he roams in the backyard and grazes on grasses and weeds daily as well, but winter is Coming and I don't know what to do without weeds, what can I store in my fridge to feed as a staple? Thanks.

    Urates.

    He gets a daily soak, he feeds on weeds out of the yard every other day and he gets a mix of romaine carrot turnip green and kale with cucumber, so he's hydrated properly and fed right....so it doesn't make sence.

    Tortoise never digs?

    The substrate is 6 inchs deep, I've had him two months, and whenever he begs to go out I'll put him out there in the 110 Texas heat for a few hours, hotter than his basking lamp everywhere, don't want him to bake lol
