Add Farenheght temperatures and imperial measurements also to your videos. If you do, it will very likely expand your viewers.

Hey, how is your Uromastyx going? I'm considering getting one but on the fence about the personality and if they bond well with keepers. Any thoughts? Are they personal?
@TheGreatPetShop9 күн бұрын
My Uro is super friendly and loves to hang out with me and others. I've even taken him to schools to teach kids and he loves to walk on the children's hands. But I'm afraid he is quite special. From what i see and hear about other Uros is that they are very shy and skittish. Hope this helps! 😊

I recently got a Russian tortoise, and I’ve had him for almost 2 weeks. He has a heat lamp, a hide, and a water bowl. He won’t eat, and he’s usually sleeping. It’s really concerning. His stool is a pale yellow color, and really runny. I’m just so confused, so if ANYBODY has any suggestions or any videos I can turn to, please leave a comment!!!

I have a question. I’ve been having my tortoise for five years now I feed it every day. I give it those little vitamin thing you give tortoises, but it’s still the size of my hand a little bigger than it. I brought it to the vet. They say it looks normal and healthy. The only thing that I can think of is the person I bought it from but the egg too close to the incubator light, and the shelves a little, but the person said that that wouldn’t affect the growth

It could be just the species of tortoise that you have that is small. Either way, i reccomend you watch these videos because it goes over some topics that might help you out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIW4aJKMbp2Zf5Isi=-4OpISlw6Y7BJVp_ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2XWloCZmZ6jmposi=9XTuJjgmiC9a8Grb

For the heat lamp and heat mat bit, why are heat mats not recommended? For my tortoise, we have brought both a heat lamp and a heat mat for it but mainly because we have an extremely cold house
@TheGreatPetShop3 ай бұрын
Tortoises naturally bask under the sun, while lizards will absorb heat from warm rocks. Since tortoises don't have the same sensitivity as lizards, they may burn themselves or overheat with heat mats and not realize it. Since your house is colder, I recommend getting two heat lamps to increase and maintain a good temperature. A good thermostat is essential to keep the temperatures in check. I hope this helps!
@lilani__.013 ай бұрын

Nice video. The species poster didn't differentiate between Western Hermann's Tortoise and an Eastern Hermann's. Westerns come from the South of France, Spain and Italy, whereas Easterns, which I have one of, come from North Macedonia, Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria. There is even a disputed sub-species called the Dalmatian Hermann Tortoise. Thanks for the video 👍

My hermann totoise will not stay in his box or under his light ? He sleeps on the rug i cover it over him.?if in the box he judt constantly scratches often falling over . Feel its safer to just let him have run of lounge. When cold he goes sits by the radiator. He hates his box it has space and a uv light. Just hates it. When it was hot he was out side lots but colder now. He very determined about whete he wants to he . His name is el torro (the bull) he pushes anything he can out his way. We adore him xx
