IMPRESSIVE FACTS

Greek tortoises are one of the most common species of turtles kept as pets. These medium-sized tortoises are relatively easy to care for but you should be prepared for their long lifespans.

They can be kept indoors or outdoors, although the latter is usually better, and are fun and interesting pets.

Greek tortoises are widespread across North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. This article will teach you everything you need to know about Greek tortoise care. buy turtles online here at the tortoise home

Housing the Greek Tortoise

Greek tortoises stay fairly small but still need ample space to exercise. Many tortoise owners prefer using large plastic storage tubs or building wooden enclosures instead of using fish tanks for housing. Tortoises don’t need the height tanks offer, only the floor space. An enclosure that’s at least 3 feet by 6 feet with walls around 18 inches tall is adequate, though bigger is always better. Make sure you remove uneaten food and other visible waste from the enclosure daily, and scrub all surfaces of the enclosure with a reptile-safe cleaner weekly.

If the temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer, allow your tortoise some outdoor time. However, it is crucial you never leave your tortoise alone when it is outside. Tortoises can run away faster than one might think, and they’re very good at hiding. Plus, predators such as raccoons and hawks can scoop them up.

It’s ideal to build a tortoise-safe outdoor pen that has a secure screened top. Also, bury the pen walls around 6 inches deep to prevent your tortoise from digging under them and escaping. Make sure the pen has sunny and shady sections. And never put your tortoise outside in a glass tank, as the glass and sunlight can create oven-like conditions. buy turtles online at the tortoise home for fast and safe delivery nationwide
