Hello Im a new comer to the Forum, but I have been handling reptiles for about 4 years now. For the last 2 of those 4 I have shown mostly an interest to Torts :tort: then any other reptile. I Currently Have a 2 year old Golden Greek Tortoise named Skrata (greek for poop, cause every time you carry her she poops you on :rolleyes: ) and a 6 month old Pancake Tortoise name Kobe (Swahili for tortoise being that it is the language that they speak where they are found). here are some pictures of them and their enclosures, let me know what you think :D.


This is Kobe basking after her meal. (he is still a bit skittish)

This is the enclosure I have him in, I recently added a paper barrier to the glass as to not cause stress.

This is Skrata enjoying some greens. (old Picture)

This is Skrata's Enclosure. You can see her in the top left of the picture exploring.

Thanks for reading and would be happy to get some opinions, tips, and pointers.
