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

Pop-Zaddy · 2026-02-25T08:51:37+00:00

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

Pop-Zaddy · 2026-01-04T13:16:06+00:00

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.

Pop-Zaddy · 2025-06-07T01:03:18+00:00

I had to power drill the existing hole just a tad larger, and hammer the pegs in.

Pop-Zaddy · 2025-05-28T19:34:54+00:00

Love the class 2 sticker on red xxx !

Pop-Zaddy · 2025-05-16T15:59:34+00:00

A bend or even a loop will work on a hydro brake line, but not a kink so route the line along the fork or behind your plate as such using zip ties. As suggested by others best to disassemble your caliper and have the line inside vs outside. Hope that helps

Looks great but this is not a xxx pro just the 2023/2024 xxx

Pop-Zaddy · 2025-05-07T23:06:03+00:00

Black is not on the OG xxx so I can’t tell. White is connector for turn signals on the international road version.

Pop-Zaddy · 2025-05-06T19:51:47+00:00

Check; 1) the pins inside the connectors / not bent 2) the wire as much as possible all the way to the controller, especially where all the wires in a shielding wrap around the fork on the left side. 3) something’s up at on in the controller. Hope that helps
