Hi there! I originally got my sulcata tortoise a screw in, round, UVB bulb. I saw it was suggested to get a T5 bulb instead. My question is, does this have to be raised somehow to be a certain distance from her? Right now if I leave it on top of the cage, the light will be about 8-10" from my...

Hi 🐢world! So we pick up a Hermann over the week and have been working on its enclosure! The humidity keeps dropping to where we should have it so I wanted if anyone can give some recommendations! I do have a dome light over it and a uva/uvb light strip in the middle placed some Halatool...

Hey yall, I have a Greek tortoise and he’s healthy and active but almost like clockwork EVERY year (which makes sense) he gets to a point where anything that is in his enclosure he either rams into, or mates with. Rocks, driftwood, plants, etc. Anyone have any ideas what to do for enrichment...

Hi tortoise family. I need some help. Things are coming together for getting my new tortoise. I know I need to thoroughly clean slates, water dishes, hides, and enclosure due to possible cross contamination from my previous tortoise to the new one. Two of the hides, the slates, and the water...

Afternoon Tortoise loving family. 💙 It's getting very close to time for Crush's next, more appropriately sized enclosure to start coming together. BUT,... I obviously need to run some things past all of you for approval, suggestions, Comments, and ideas FIRST! So I'm in the process of building...

I just got two baby Tortoises, not sure which breed they are (I'm guessing they are hermann's ). I really love them and want to make sure they are always healthy, But Im a complete beginner when it comes to tortoises. I live in Qatar, its a bit chilly here right now cuz its winter. I am planning...

I have a 1 year old hermanns tortoise. His enclosure is outside right now because the temp here in california is pretty high. I feed him a diet of mazuri tortoise pellets soaked in warm water, grass, flower for fiber, cucumber, and calcium on top once in a while. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY TIPS. :)

I have four one year old hermann tortoises, they were given to me, i didn't expect them. I'd like to house them as best as possible, they've outgrown their current enclosure and i want something future proof. I'm aware that depending on their sex I'll have to either separate them or give them...

I recently got a Hatchling Sulcata Tortoise. He is still a hatchling and we have him in a 40 Gallon tank with a mesh lid. I know mesh tops are bad but I cant find any other lid that allows UVB in. Im trying to look for a half mesh half glass lid. I covered all I can with foil but I don't think...

How old does my tort have to be to move outside? what materials do i use to build a home for him and how can i avoid predators and overheating. My tortoise is 3 years old and is starting to get big to the point where him being in my room obviously takes a good amount of space. Im just scared to...

My tort is 2 years old, his shell is kinda flat and bumpy and I’ve gotten conflicting answered on humidity and enclosures. I know for a fact that his place is too dry, I’ve ordered a humidifier HOWEVER, I’ve read if he breathes water droplets it’ll be bad for him, so I don’t understand how I’m...

Hi folks! We have 2 cherryhead Tortoises...1 is about 1.5yrs and the other 2.5 yrs old. We've been looking around at different available housing options besides going custom and came across the Vision cages. The one specifically we are considering is the v632 (6'x3'x18"h). Has anyone had any...
