Nope! I will give that a try!

It looks dirty to me but I can't get it clean. I noticed that color when he started growing taller...?

I still can't tell if he's eastern or western. From the top he looks eastern, not a bright yellow. From the bottom he definitely looks western.

Sure! He gets a mix of food every day. He always has an appetite. His poops are good. He has organic dirt in his box. I did mix it with sand at first like some recommend but got nervous about him eating it so it's just dirt now. There's two lamps. One is a 10uvb bulb and the other is a 150w...

He does have an extra scute (top and bottom) on his left side. Maybe he has some weird genetics that are keeping him small? He'll be two at the beginning of September.

Yes I lived off the care sheets when I first got him. I bought seeds that were recommended so he gets a good mix. Has all the right lighting. He has growth rings on his shell but isn't growing much!

Thank you!

Hi everyone. Turbo is our Hermann tort who is almost a year old. He's still really small, not sure if that's normal. He has only gotten taller. He gets a bath at least every other day and loves his warm water and usually just sits and soaks in it. This morning I put his warm water on our...

Thanks for your response! :)

Hello everyone. I found cactus pads (finally) and want to try feeding it to my tort. He's a couple months old so I think I would need to cut it up for him. Are you supposed to take the prickly things off I assume?

On top too?! How neat! I also read it's usually in females but was told this guy was a boy from turtle supply... I know he's too young to tell though. I know we're not supposed to buy from a place that ships but besides a pet store that was my only option. Especially since I wanted a Hermann.

Hello, Turbo is my first tort. He's about 2 1/2 months old. I am curious about his bottom shell. Is this normal to be so asymmetrical? Also it's not completely flat. His bottom right side seems to sink in slightly. (Our left when looking at the picture). Also, what's the lighter spot in the...

I saw that after you mentioned it but can't believe he's so tiny still. I think he's the same size as when we got him. I'm going to have to measure him for fun every month

I love all the plants!! What type of weeds do you put in there? Are you worried about your tort eating too much? I have a 2 month old Hermann

He's 2 months old so I took out his water dish. the rims of plant saucers even cause him to flip. So he eats on a Tupperware cover for now. Also had to put slanted cardboard against the edges for now because he's constantly trying to climb and was flipping over while I was at work. Now he...

Please take a peek and tell me good or bad. I'll take a neutral too. I soak him 5/7 days a week. I don't always see him poo. Dinner typically consist of mixed greens and he eats very well. The cardboard around the edges is temporary as he tries to climb and flips on his back while we're...
