We first met our Hermanns baby, Zola, 24 years ago, and we still find him more and more interesting all the time - and he is loved more and more too. I think Zip may add a new dimension to your life too.

Oh that’s so neat! Yes Zip sure does add so much joy for both me and my kids. My son just sits and watches him through the top of the greenhouse any chance I let him. He is fascinated, which is a good thing because Zip might be his after I’m dead and gone from the sounds of it 😂

Glass terrariums are the worst thing for any type of tortoise! They need an enclosure that they cannot see out of, otherwise they are constantly trying to get out. Please change their home and pass the word. This is cruel!
Hi, so I’m not sure if you saw my above reply but I actually was working on a bigger enclosure for him with a greenhouse for better humidity control for him over the weekend.

The glass terrarium was a gift to me along with this hatchling about two weeks ago. And I’m about 1 hour away from the closest store so I had to order most of the things he needed.

I agree the glass terrarium was horrible for humidity and it way way too small for him. But he never had an issue with the glass and trying to get out of his enclosure or mash his face against it. I just didn’t like it because of the size and how difficult it was to maintain humidity 🙂
