Hi all,
Just woundering how everyone measure the temperature of there bulbs? Do you use a thermometer and do you put it directly under the bulb etc? I have a 160 watt mega ray bulb and a deep dome zoo med lamp. Just woundering how to check the temp and what distance it should be etc
Thanks
Oh I shall get a plant then, I'm stating to grown my own food for him but like anything it is taking its time so I'm trying to find diffrent foods from him to eat so he dose not get bored eating the same thing, is there anything else you recommend that he will like to eat?
Oh god I didn't know that, the pot is from a nursery from my work and the Gardner told me that there was no pester-sides used on the plant and was planted into and organic compost, should I wait for it to bloom before I feed it to him? Also I was told aloe Vera is good to feed is that true?
Oh brill thanks for letting me know, when I got him his beak was over grown I have taken him to the vets to get it trimmed but he wudnt put his head out so his beak is still abit over grown, is there anyway of getting it trimmed or him doing it himself? I have put his food on slate to hopefully...
That's his home and a pic of the soil, it's like sandy soil with white bits in it I think it's small bits of gravel, iv seen pictures and from what iv seen he looks like a Herm tort is there much diffrence between them?
Hi all
Might be a stupid question but my Herm tortoise has a bumpy shell, just woundering if it was ment to be smooth or is bumpiness normal? Jac not had him for long so it's all still quite new to me :)
Oh I shall try that thanks, just out of interest what kind of habitat does everyone have that's what I have for him at the moment is that enough for him?
Hello, It's when you 1st go and pick him up he hisses at you, once you have him he just try's to get away, he will eat from you're hand so he does not hate all human contact I'd imagine
Hello all
I have just inherited a Herman tortoise his name is Fred we think he is about 10 or so.
He has not had much handling so hisses everytime you pick him up starting to get better tho, as you can see in the picture Fred loves his baths, I would love any help and advice that could be...
