Thanks for such a quick reply and your reassurance!

Hello! I have a 5 year old Hermann's and I've just noticed he has developed some kind of white marble / bubble markings on both of his sides. I've never seen them before so think they're pretty new, is anyone able to help identify what this could be and is it anything to do with his diet or...

Hello! Tonto is now a little bit older (coming up to 3) and I was wondering whether anybody could tell me firstly whether Tonto looks to be a He or a She, and secondly whether he/she is a Hermanni Hermanni or a Hermanni Boettgeri?

With a name like Tonto, it had to be done, really, didn't it?!

Thanks! He's having a lovely time!

All edible or edible but they don't eat them - 2 English Heathers, a Bromeliad and the mini tree is a Dragon something!

Thanks! Tonto's is over at 'tontothetortoise' :)

Ah I'm glad you like it! :D Spud's got a new friend on Instagram!

In today's addition, I rewired a £1 solar activated garden light to power some Mini LED strings to replicate a little bit of moonlight or starlight if he's ever up when the UVB light turns off! Mini solar panel automatically picks up the UVB light turning off and turns the bulbs on. It *may* be...

I've been hard at work for the past couple of weeks decorating (and not stopping decorating) Tonto's Tort Table! He's (or She's!) a year old Hermann's over here in the UK. IKEA Underbed Storage with a mix of Heathers for shelter, upturned flower pots and a spider tree up a hill. The 'rocky'...

This morning Tonto the ridiculously active Hermann's yearling decided to dig up the entire (fully buried) rootball of his table heather that I use to give him shade from the heatlamp - and promptly got stuck up the side of the table in the process. Once i'd got him out, I noticed that one of...

Thanks v much for the advice - Pleased to report he appears absolutely fine!

Last night Tonto (1 year old Hermanns) thought it'd be a good idea to climb the spider plant (!!!) that was in his table, pull himself onto the edge and make an ill-judged leap 3 feet onto the carpet. I'm not entirely sure if it was an ill judged leap or a tumble but either way he was found down...

Hello! I've had Tonto (1 year old Hermanns) for just over a week now but over the past few days he's taken to climbing upon absolutely anything he can and flipping himself over onto his back. loads I caught him once rapidly flapping arms and legs and righted him, but the past two times I've...

Humidifiers - are they much use on Tortoise Tables? I've just built one for Tonto (using a small glass, donut humidifier from eBay and an upside down plant pot), and it looks really cool, but i'm not sure how much use it'll be of getting the humidity up as it's open air.
