How lovely. What a great transformation Nikki. I did something similar for an adult tortoise I rehomed many years ago. She came compete with her home, a 3' vivarium with glass fronts. That had been her home from hatchling to young adulthood. Her viv redesigned by me, was quite basic and not as elabo...

Horsfield tortoises share the nest

You wouldn't believe the space these tortoises have and they both decide to lay their eggs in the same nest. The one on the left is a first timer, so perhaps she is in learning mode. Excuse my thumb in the corner of the picture.

Re: 100w or 160w Mercury vapour bulb

Horsfields come from the Eastern Mediterranean and Russian Steppes areas so their body physiology is geared to hot dry summers and exceptional...

Re: Growing weeds at home

Yes, you could strip some leaves off but do remember to be careful digging up plants in the wild. I'm sure no-one will stop you but please be mindful of the law. Read our page in our resources section of the website.

The Jade Emperor Pagoda is an important shrine in Saigon which I was lucky enough to visit last month. Its other name is the Tortoise Pagoda and outside is a pond full of turtles.
