Fairly recently my 2 year old ibera greek tort has become lazy. He comes out of his hide in the morning when his lights come on, comes out to eat and then goes back in. It seems like he just comes out and seat under the heat while he eats then goes back to bed. His enclosure is about 3x6, temps...
Thoughts?
I have an ibera greek tort that I've had for a year now. Someone offered me a second ibera greek. I would make a larger indoor enclosure that would be big enough for 2.

Thanks,
Tony

Any opinions are welcomed

I'm looking to buy my first tort. Any suggestions of places, websites, that are good sources to buy from? I live in Illinois. I can't make up my mind exactly what species I want. I'm thinking hermanns, leopards, or cherry head, last choice might be russian. But I don't want one that will...
Hello all,
My son is in 3rd grade and in love with tortoises. Our local zoo even has a tortoise with the same name as him. Through good behavior and excellent grades he has earned being able to have a tortoise as his first pet. So before the end of the school year, I'm doing some research...
