Hi All,

I saw some custom and printed hides I liked on Etsy. They are custom 3-D printed colored, and one was covered in eco earth and moss, very naturalistic. Problem is the hides had small openings, too small for even my Western Hermann’s.

The small manufacturer said he would be interested in looking into making hides for tortoises. He asked Matteo’s measurements to figure out food and hide sizes but Matteo is a young Western Hermann’s of one of the smallest varieties.

Would you mind giving me the width and height measurements of your torts? Thanks.

They vary and grow. I had a mobile hide as Speedy had grown and managed to lift it and walk around. I then needed a larger hide! I use an arch shape which allows damp orchid bark underneath but some have a plastic container with a hole to allow humidity to be trapped.
