Add more stuff to her enclosure.

I am no expert or anything, so feel free to correct me. I have a ball python as well as my tortoise, but my snake has never gotten mites. If mites are like ticks/fleas, then couldn't they feed off any creature/reptile? I don't think they will spread unless you bring them close to one another...

Most tortoise become sexually mature according to size not age. As far as you giving him something to hump i dont know if it is okay. I wouldnt do it specially since its a towel like thing that the tortoise might eat part of it and get constipated.

You can just go to "Tortoise Topics" then to the last tab under that section that reads "Tortoise pictures and videos" and there's a thread there that says "how to post videos" it will tell you there. Wish you luck with that little dude

Poor little guy. Any pics of his eyes or eye.

CathyNed is right...... look for him where the sun hits really early when the sun starts coming out. I really hope you find your guy. Look where he usually likes to hide. Gl

I have just seen that bird once. I live down here on Brownsville, Texas so in winter it doesnt get very cold. In winter i see large groups of crows flying across the sky but i sometimes still see groups that big through out the year, so i dont know if they're migrating.

Here they are!

Okay so as most of you may know Jannet, my Gopherus Berlandieri (Texas Tortoise), had a previous owner that did not have a permit to house her. She lived in pretty bad conditions... Was fed fridge food, lived inside the house with no enclosure, got her shell painted by little girls, and God...

Wow that's extreme. Actually like a month ago a saw a green parakeet with a group of finches in my backyard (since we own a chicken and a rooster there is some bird food on the ground sometimes).

How big is your tortoise?

Some sort of bird could do such thing. They just pick the tortoise up and let it drop to crack the shell and be able to eat it. There is a high chance that a bird did this. As to coyotes and foxes..... They would have to go jumping fences to get to your backyard and if your neighbors have dogs...

How big are your tortoises right now

Well you always wanna have some sort of barrier to keep the torts in the outdoor enclosure. What species are they?

You found the place! Like Tom stated this forum is full of amazing tort breeders. I would get a leopard or cherryhead although hermanns and russians get smaller than the other two

I myself would never house a tortoise in a glass cage. That in my opinion does seem cruel.... I would rather have it in a tortoise table or something of that sort. Tortoises actually do better in captivity than in the wild (if well cared for). Anyways a tortoise in my point of view should also...

All this time I've been putting weeds in his little container

That makes alot of sense cuz believe it or not i kept it and yesterday that it rained i took it out and then saw him like eating a snail that was much smaller but i first i thought they were mating (i dont know a lot about snails) so i just got mine off the smaller snail

The prettiest pic i have that does not have torts in it :)

I have never seen a snail with that type of shell. Well never in my backyard or Jannet's enclosure :)
