Sparkles got a new home yesterday. Any questions, comments, suggestions welcome.




She's never done this before, but while I was taking photos she decided to snuggle down in the substrate.(Orchard Grass)

Well Melissa, I think Sparkles likes her new home.
In the top pic what is the blue thingy at the bottom of the pic?

Thats an old Pampers wipe container. I turned it upside down and cut a hole in it. Makes a good hide.

Looks good, I have a few of those cages that I use. I have a 4 footer that my Hermanns male lives in indoors. Looks great! Keep up the good work.

Thanks! She looks so tiny in there!

nice setup!

Ahh, but just for now! someday it will look tiny compared to her.

Looks great - I think she is quite content all comfy in there!

I think she's happy too. I hope so. She was actually a little more active today. Out and about, checking it out. She has lots of room to roam. I also bought a Flukers digital therm/hygrometer. The one I had was one of the cheap ones. Does anyone know how accurate these are?

I think they are fairly accurate. That is the one I have in my incubator and in my enclosures. Seems to be doing it's job so far. Eggs are fertile and going good.

Sweet , I used rabbit hutches like that too. They are perfect! Is the blue hide a humid hide? Would be perfect dry hide in the hay and humid hide in the container.

It is perfect! I have two cats and one is very interested in my tort. I wanted to make sure I had something she would have more room and would be safe from the curious cat. The blue hide is a humid hide. The other hide is half a coconut hut I found in the hermit crab section. She loves that thing. She just fits through the opening. I put a little sponge in the blue hide for her and she goes from one hide to the other.
