hermanns

Help! Looking for someone who has seen these marks before... An overview of my problem: These are my Hermaans hatchlings, just over 4 months old. They've been really easy to care for, no issues until now.... I first noticed these yellow marks on 7.5.26 after a soak, looking them over. I...

Picture of when I first got him as hatchling and recently!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give an update and share some pics of Tilly boo. She did have worms, the place I got her said she was 2yo.. other advice has placed her a lot younger. She's had a new home, please provide any feedback on improvements etc. Basking spot is at 34C cool end is...

Hello, Recently got a 3 year old hermanns tortoise and she’s gone off her food and just wants to sleep all day, the previous owner just let her do this in the indoor enclosure and left the heat lamps off.. what should i do? Do i put the heat lamp back on for 12 hours every day and keep her...

last time i was at the vet ~1 week ago they said it should improve with reptoboost and extra calcium but i feel it is not improving. i thought maybe it was growth? does this look like septicemia?

Hey guys! I have a question, i feed my baby hermann's tortoise this food everyday, according to other people online they recommend it but i'm not very good with knowing what grass has too much protein or anything so i wanted to ask you guys if this diet seems fine?? especially now in the winter...

please tell me is this normal? it looks a bit smaller in the pictures than the rl actually

Just got Alffies (Eatsern Herman’s) new grow tent set up! It’s a 5x5. Amazing at holding ambient heat and humidity. I have an additional UVB I’ll be putting up later today and some LED’s to brighten it up a bit. Open to any suggestions for changes or what to add. Cheers 🇨🇦

hey everyone!! its me again ~~ i now have officially finished setting up my baby hermann's enclosure !! see pictures below, is there anything to add or to remove in your opinion?? bc of lighting and uvb i already checked in other threads and it seems to be the correct ones ;) humidity is...

I feed my Hermann's the repashy veggie burger mix like little croutons on his food, but the mix apparently is having ingredient issues so it's scarce in stores. Is there a dupe that I can give him when my jar is empty?

Just got an Eastern Hermanns tortoise, and this is the final set up I came too. Open to any suggestions to improve it ! Will be moved to a 4x8 table once big enough. Enclosure is a 2x2x4. Photo attached below !

Hi, is it normal for a Hermanns tortoise to suddenly have a patch of what looks like new (raw?) skin on his head? It's a tiny piece that seems missing but it's noticable.

Hello. My son got a hermanns tortoise for Christmas. However for the past couple of days he’s been blowing the odd bubble out of his nose. I’ve been reading mixed reviews/opinions online so dont really know what to think. I’m really worried as this is our first tortoise and I don’t know what to...

This will be our hermann's third winter and his first real attempt at brumation. He turned his nose up at most food over the past few weeks, except a few bites of dandelion greens here and there, including in the 2-3 days before he burrowed. He has now buried himself in his substrate (mostly...

Hi all, I recently set up my tortoise enclosure to prepare for my hatchling coming in the next few weeks. I wanted to practice keeping the humidity and temperature for what the baby tort needs. I noticed that my moss hide started to sprout and I was curious if anyone knew what the sprouts were...

I’ve scoured the forum as well as the tortoisetable website, and I have some confusion on geraniums. The geraniums I see on the tortoise table are nothing like the geraniums I see locally. Most commonly I see Zonal Geraniums that have large clusters of blossoms. Here’s a link as an example…...

I am getting my first hermanns and after much research, I am deciding between a 3 month old hatchling or a yearling. I'd be ecstatic with either so I'm curious about other's opinions. Would you go with the yearling (slightly more expensive) or go with the hatchling? Why? I'm thinking I may...

He is 2 years old. Previous owner said he fed him 4 days a week. I’m unable to do that to him. He seems always ready to eat but the question is how much greens should he eat in a day? As much as his shell would hold? Also is 70-80% humidity about right? I’m using a diffuser as a misting method...

A rare summer treat on a hot summer day. 🍉🐢

I hung a crystal in Dozer’s bedroom window. When the sun goes down and hits it just right, it casts a bunch of prisms inside of his enclosure. The bright colors catch his eye, then walks around trying to bite all the little rainbows. 🌈 🐢
