Thanks everyone...she IS really cute. We love her to pieces already. She has settled down a lot and seems to be enjoying her new place. She doesn't use any of her hides, she just burrows down for the night. She is usually up and moving around by the time I feed in the Am. I love...

Hello, I have a CB 2010 Hermanns that I have had for a 6 days. The first couple days she hid but now she is out and about and exploring. I have found her twice upside down...which scared the crap out of me. So, now I find myself checking on her every second. What can I do to prevent this...

These pictures took my breath away!!!! You are a lucky man. I think you are living everyones dream:) Gorgeous.

Thanks everyone...I love my little enclosure, although I do like to "redecorate" every now and again. Little Fern seems happy in it and is exploring the entire thing now. She loves to walk through her little dish of calcium powder. She looks so tiny in there but will grow into it. Thanks...

Gorgeous....I have never seen a tort that big in real life. I would love to. Maybe someday. Thanks for sharing all your great pictures. How old is Hommer?

Hello All, This is Fern Sparkles Grass!!!(my 9 year old had to help with the name a bit so I let her pick the middle name:) I am addicted to taking pictures so I hope you guys dont get sick of looking. Fern is a little Hermann's tort...2010 Hatchling. Cute as a bug in a rug. Check her out...

I can't stop looking at Baby Fern....I spend all my time gawking into her enclosure:) She ate today for the first time and I was so excited and had to tell someone so I called my Mom to tell her. She wasn't nearly as impressed as I:) Torts are great. Thanks for all the compliments.

Thanks everyone....Fern is a beauty and I am so happy to have her. Tom...I actually stink at taking pictures but we just bought a "dummy proof" camera. I like it so far. We are so proud to be tortoise owners:)

Thanks everyone....I actually love the enclosure. It is so easy to clean and it can take a beating. I can pressure wash it if I need to. It isn't the prettiest thing to have in my dining room but the cute little tort inside it makes up for that:) I want to get it up off the floor so I am...

Hello, I have some great news. My dear husband surpised me with this new baby yesterday. I am so lucky and this baby is gorgeous. He is doing great so far. He hasn't eaten much but drank a good bit when I soaked him this morning. We haven't picked out a name yet but I think it is going...

Here is a picture of my enclosure....it has changed a little since I took the picture....the Zoomed Power sun is no longer laying on a screen it is hooked up to a zoomed light stand. I also covered the humid hide with a fake plant to make it more of a hide. I have also added a small dish of...

gorgeous..they are very pretty and look very happy...... Thanks for sharing.

Thanks...I ordered some and may try to plant a couple and keep them in front of my big window. We can't grow much of anything here...but lots and lots of snow:) We are going to get 22 inches in the next 36 hours:(

She is very pretty....looks like she is saying "Thank You"!

Hello, I want to put a spider plant in my enclosure and I was wondering how to go about making sure that it hasn't been treated or fertilized. Do you wash it? Do you take all the dirt out from around its roots and replace it with organic? I will probably leave it in a heavy pot for now...

That's a great idea....I really don't mind having a stock tank in my dining room, but I am just waiting to see my Mother's reaction when she comes to dinner the next time:) I see her wiping dust off the tv when she is here(when she thinks I am not looking:) I went and got the windex and told...

That makes sense....thanks for all the replys...I am sure I will arrange and rearrange until I have it right. Glad I have you guys to come to with all my questions. Thanks again. RE: Hides? ....so the dry hide on the hot side along with the basking area, and then a moist hide on the...

I ordered some seeds from www.carolinapetsupply.com. Great place for seeds and stuff for torts. I hope I can grow some. I don't have a tort yet...but am trying now. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

Hello, I have read that you can plant these cactus pads and they will grow? Is this true? Has anyone been successful at it? If so, please share your "how tos". I have a BLACK thumb. I just planted same planters with a weed mix and I was so excited when they started poking through the soil...

I am a little dense sometimes....so the dry hide on the hot side along with the basking area, and then a moist hide on the cooler side...or did I get that backwards? Thanks....just want to get it right the first time. I want a happy tort:)
