Herpes in tortoise's is it only in Meds or do other species get it as well?
By what I have read did it start in Horsfield's and has jumped species?
Is it Fatal in the end, or do or can they recover?
Sorry I am having a serious moment?]]>

I got my 1st tort on 21st December last year, (Xmas pressie for my kids)a beautiful horsfield juvenile, who'll be 3 in June, named Willow, and it was love at 1st sight, tort addiction, and now I'm patiently waiting for my 2 tunisian spur thigh hatchlings, which are arriving hopefully next week. I'm a busy busy stay at home Mum to 2 kids, 1 yorkie, 2 budgies, 2 african landsnails (and all their babies that hatched last week, too many to count!) 1 hamster and 3 goldfish xx]]> Hi everyone, this is the 2nd tort forum I've joined and I've got to say it looks like a good 'un!

im thinking about building my outdoor enclosure, see before they only went out when I was at home and had the whole of the garden to roam around in, which was great but now I’ve changed jobs I no were near at home as I use to be. So im making them an out door enclosure for when im not around, but I was wondering about light, this is probably a really daft question but just on the off chance that there is.
Can you get a solar powered spot light? As I cant get electric to my garden safely for the more cloudier days]]>

I have two Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoises as you can guess there names are little-foot and petrie, I got them when they were 10 months old hatchlings on my 21 bday (I know you shouldn’t get animals for prezzys but technically I paid half and I had been doing homework for 4-5 months before hand, it wasn’t a spare of the moment buy). Anywho I’ve had them for 3 years now, and I hope there doing good with me. This year was the first time I let them hibernate, only for a few weeks I was a nervous wreck, lol.
i cant wait for spring and summer when i can let my little guys out, tho this year im gonna attempt to build them a run so they can go out when im not in, this will be a big test on my DIY skills!]]> Um ok let’s see, what to Wright?

I can't beleive I didn't know you were here, I saw a meention on Shelled Warriors so I came to join in the fun!!!

I have lots of torts 11 Horsefields and 1 Hermans. I came across most of them unintentially and only actually sought out 2 of them from breeders. All others are rehomes including my Herman.

I am looking for a couple of Aldabs at the mo- which is proving tricky to say the least.

I also have a bengal kitten called Anakin.

Well I look forward to joining your forum and chatting to you all,

I'd just like to say a HUGE thank-you to Wendy for her brilliant time here as a moderator. Unfortunately due to time commitments she is standing down.

Thank you for your time here Wendy, it's much appreciated and I hope we'll see you around.

In other news, I found out that there is a Tortoise sanctuary in the town next to me (5 minute drive), and I think I am going to give them a visit over the next few months to get a 3rd Tortoise.
