Torts binge on stuffs that are not always good for them, I believe succulents are one of those. He can have some as a treat but I don’t suggest free feeding on that. Given Mr Button size I’d give 2/3 leaves per week. He’ll just urate more than usual until it’s all out

Gently bend the prong back and there’s nothing wrong with the female. Just take extra time when lining them up

Most impressive contraption, never someone manual an ebike before especially your size. Apparently the human got hurt, I see a cast. Hope ur doing well

Mineral oil and little adapters should work fine. Watch a few videos, you’ll likely have to bleed entirely the lines as mixing different oil I believe is not recommended. Not that hard but a few steps to do in right sequence.

1st is female, 2nd cannot see the tail but the plastron last scute as an odd shape. 2nd might an hybrid. Judge for yourself my Girl and Boy on the right

Excellent job, great size, natural light, many hides, different substrates. Might need a UVB bar next to the heat lamp, most window glass block them and you want them to cast where the tort spend time. Is your tort not trying to escape by crawling on top those hides?

Could be a number of things but it a 1st glance it could just be that one of your suspension has spun in its clamp. That’d be an easy fix; loosen the screw on the bottom part of the triple clamp of each suspension -NOT the screw of the top part of the triple clamp -. While static, jump the suspension hard half a dozen times, tighten the screw backs. That should re-align your suspension tubes but you’d likely have to re-align your brakes too.

Just realized u have 4, but they all look female. Judge for yourself, my boy on the right

Look both females to me, boys LARGE tail should already be noticeable. Do they fight ? Male would also be aggressive.

I second what was said above; Russian & Hermann are just not tropical torts and don’t need high humidity & bathing. Check which Mazuri you’re feeding - there’s 2 or more kinds- I was told by a breeder to stop using Mazuri with protein because of high growth and pyramid risks. I went 100% fresh green since with my Hermanns.

Find it real nice and good size for your tort size. Try having more daylight/uvb across the tort table, in case it’s possible put it by a window to get natural cycle. Keep an eye on this plastic sheet, the tort will eventually try it but cannot feed on it. Not a concern now and it’s difficult to judge size/scale but I think within 12months your tort is gonna jump that wall using all those obstacles.

Although there’s can be a lot a variation within the same species a few things look a bit too off for a Hermann; but he’s really cute regardless. Check the back and bottom for some of key features . https://www.hermannihaven.com/the-western-hermann-s-tortoise

Superb ! Very nice table design, aesthetic and craftsmanship and also smart location by the windows. I’ve 2 similar size tables for winter that really look terrible in comparison, they’re loaded with all kind of thermostats/sensors/pads/timers to create different temperatures zones throughout the day for my Hermanns. While actually safe with wires everywhere my tables look like a fire hazard waiting to happen. Somethings tells me the 2 of u might eventually be looking for more ! So glass sunroom turned out to be a good option for me in sub 8 hardiness regions for a larger summer tort retreats. Please, do share your work cuz you’ve already inspired me to do better ! Thanks

Female, boys have a MUCH bigger tail

Really nice ! You’ll likely have to wall off that gate, as your tort can see the outside it will become obsessed at trying to dig under or climb it.

It’ll work, it did on mine. Look up videos on how to align talaria caliper, might need to use spacers if touching the piston. https://youtu.be/lvjTWxrvwuo?si=szFZXzu_nyUtJ4iJ

Both triple crown and stem lock needs to be tighten. Check that or other videos https://youtu.be/Ofv6B5RyuLI?si=Di9X1h2yUoXLTz34

Looks like the connector on my 1st gen Talaria xxx; it feeds headlight DRF/low/High beam

Can’t give you the terminal/connector ref cuz there’s many of this kind and I’d get it wrong. But may be that what u’re looking for: https://www.talariaebikeparts.com/part/INDRY065

Check rebound settings, likely need air shock and center the dial - there’s about 15 to 18 clicks so start around 8 and fine-tune as u like.
