Exotic Animal Veterinart Center, in Pasadena CA. at 171 N Altadena Drive STE 120. Dr. Labrecque. I was happy with the care they gave. The nurse owns a 10 year old Sulcata herself and the Dr. also seemed to thoroughly know proper care for Sulcatas as well. She sent off a Chelonian Respiratory...

He was being sold at a street marking downtown la alongside Guinea pigs, bird & and aquatic turtles all of which didn’t look too healthy

My baby Sulcata Charlie has tested positive for Mycoplasma according to my vet, sample had been sent off to the Florida lab that is apparently best in the nation for tortoise tests. While we waited for the results they had me giving Charlie a shot of Ceftazidime every 3 days for 2 weeks. All...

ok thank you, I have had 80% no problem with the hydrometer probe in there now. Think my other guages were just giving faulty reads.

Oh the Che is already on thermostat, what I mean is if I lower the wattage of my flood, the overall ambient temp will decrease. So I’ll need to maybe increase the CHE wattage

I suppose if that’s what I need to do I can get a lower wattage incandescent flood, maybe at that point will have to meddle with the CHE as well to dial the correct temps again. Haha I can’t tell you guys how many times I have had to re do everything

All good, no I don’t have the means to do that, it’s 4x2x2

I’ve got just an inch and a half, my lights are hanging inside I’m afraid of bringing my baby tort any closer to the basking bulb

When I put the substrate in for the first time I mixed it with water in a tub, it dries out fast I don’t know what the problem is. I even spray it so much I empty an entire bottle into it each time, the water gets to the pvc on the bottom even

Great I’ll switch up the vents and pick up a digital hygrometer w a probe thank you. If still struggling I’ll circle back

Here’s a photo of the item, would love a link to something better if you have it!! Ty

Hey all, having a hard time keeping humidity at 60% and absolutely cannot get to 80%. Attached are photos. It’s all pvc, 4x2x2. I have sealed up most the air vents, leaving only a couple open. Substrate is all orchid bark. Thanks for help! Charlie is on some deworming meds right now and has a...

Hey all, is my little dude swollen??

thank you Tom!! You have gotten me this far, I will continue to follow your guidance to a tee. Should I get a second thermostat for the cold night time corner? I realized that my basking side becomes the coldest part at night because the CHE is closer to the other side, as is the thermostat...

Hi all, Charlie is set up is his new 4x2x2 PVC home. cool side is 82, his hot side is around 98 and his basking spot is up to 112 with a 65w incandescent bulb - so for now I have placed a coffee mug in that spot so that he cannot access that high temp, but around the mug is 101-104 ish. I'll try...
