Lately, I have noticed that my tort has discoloration on his head and I'm worrying about it. Sometimes after a bath though, it will look normal but then after some time passes it goes back to a white patch instead of his golden color. I don't know if you can really tell in the photos but his...

Hi everyone! I was just wondering where do night heat lamps go? I have a 40 gal and have my basking lamp on one side and was curious to know if the night heat source goes on the same side as the basking or on opposite side? UVB is spread across the whole tank. Just iffy on the other lamps. Also...

Willing to trade my tortoise supplies for a zoo med tortoise house. I have a 15 gallon tank, one bend a bridge, Exo terra mandarin jungle plant with suction cup. Also, alfafa pellets (about 3/4 of the bag). I've only had these items for three weeks. So still great!

Do you recommend a tortoise house or a 40 gallon tank for a baby leopard tortoise? Also, should loose coconut fiber be used for substrate or wood chips?

I have a picky little tort. I changed his tank from a 15 gallon to a 40 gallon. He has his uvb light which is spread across the tank. Humidity stays at about 89%-95. The overall temps range from 83-89. Basking is at 95-100. I use a CHE now at night to regulate his night temps so they do not fall...

My 3 month old tortoise was used to eating a mixture of foods like orchard grass, tiny portion of cucumber, hay, and cactus but last week I was able to take him outside given the beautiful sunny days. However, the weather has been fluctuating and it is too cold for him to be out. But now he...

My tortoise is on antibiotic injections for RI and today when I was giving him a shot where I normally do in his front leg, it wouldn't go in. Do you think I hit a bone? Poor thing. I had to do it again to actually hit the muscle. Also, he was walking on the counter and slipped into the sink...

Leo loved playing in the grass today!:tort::<3:

I had my baby leopard out today and he wanted to eat this like crazy. By the looks of it is it safe? Or should I stay away?

I was just curious if any of these two would benefit my baby leopard tortoise. He is only 3 months old and I provide him with his calcium D3 already. I am just unsure if he is getting the right nutrition. I feed him cactus pads, orchard grass hay, and lawn grass every morning. Also, I live in...

My baby leopard tortoise is acting strange today and I am really worried. I fed him this morning and came home to his bowl still being kind of full. (he usually finishes everything). He normally comes out of his log when I get home but this time he didn't want to and when he did, he went back in...

I got my baby leopard tortoise back in March and I don't know his age but I am sure he is about a few months old given his small state. He wakes up at 7 when his basking light goes on and walks around, eats, etc. After eating he tends to bask a little then takes a nap. Later on he is given a...

I have heard a lot of people say they feed their tortoise Mazuri pellets and I was wondering if this is it based off of my picture? I was given this by the owner of a reptile store where I bought my baby leopard tortoise.

I need to start misting my tortoises' enclosure because it is dry but should I do it in the morning and night or just morning when his basking light comes on?

Hello. I have a baby leopard tortoise and have been giving him a mixed variety of prickly pear, spring mix, orchard hay, and cucumbers but it goes to waste so fast and I don't even know if it is as nutritious for him than other things. I just bought the Rep-Cal Tortoise Food which I am going to...

Just making sure this is okay for my baby leopard? I monitor his temps and it is usually 100 at basking and stays at 80 at night. A new hut is coming tomorrow for him to replace his little cardboard box. Also getting a misting bottle to increase humidity. Any other tips?

Just wanted to share a few photos of my baby Leo :tort::<3:
