I have 7 tortoises: 2 Tunisian, 1 Jordanian, 3 golden, & 1 black. I know some of their shells have pyramiding, but I'm trying my best to get that fixed.

My camera is a Canon EOS 500D.

  • they say that tortoises shouldn't eat lettuce because its more water than anything else....

  • @Louise14834 Tortoises need a wide variety of fruits, vegetables & supplements in their diet. Of course it would be unhealthy if they only eat lettuce, but I also feed them carrots for extra vitamin A, fruit, hibiscus flowers & leafs, weeds & dandelions, etc. Lettuce has a good percentage of water & vitamin A, so there's no problem with it.

  • @TheBoaConstrictor9 good i'm glad that isn't true because they love the stuff! oh and it turns out they love savoy cabbage seeing as they joined us for dinner last night!

  • @Louise14834 I actually don't recommend feeding them cabbage. It has no nutritional value. It can also absorb calcium in their system. Just stick to the dark stuff.

  • Those can grow large n really old they r pretty cool thanks for the sub subbed bak n the answer to ur questions get then young grow with ur snake n depending on how big u want it to get male or female n there humidity is wat the house is wen there in shed I do add a moisture box other than that they r OK n don't need high humidity never had a shed problem

  • @89mc01 Yeah, they get to a nice size. I've got a giant Aldabra that I rescued from the zoo a month or so ago.

    Thank you so much! I'll keep that in mind.

  • lol, what balling turtles.

  • @JustAnotherDrummerJG Well, simply because they're awesome haha. Basically, pyramiding is when they are deficient in calcium & their shells get the shape of pyramids. It's pretty bad because it weakens their shells. They beci\ome brittle.

  • haha why is this so riviting?

    What's pyramiding, is it bad?

  • @MusicMasterful Haha, thanks. Maybe I'll make another one… Possibly do one with my giant Aldabra tortoise :D
