Tiddle's is doing so well!

Okay good idea. :) Thank you!

Oh awesome hide! I'll have to go there and get a black one! I love that it's a circle as well lol :D

Hey everyone yes. I took out the log hide because he kept flipping over, I put a plastic dish tub and cut a little door so he can hide in there. He doesn't go under it though, he stays under the lamp. I moved the thermometer to the tortoise's level & the temps stay around 84-90. During the night...

I just set this enclosure up for my cdt hatchling. It's a 54 gal tub & I'm not sure if the little stones are too much. I haven't got plants in it yet either. I am not sure if the thermometer is good where is is or if the heat lamp is okay where it is. I didn't want it anywhere that he could flip...

No I don't have a coil bulb...I have the "Fluker's clamp lamp with dimmer for incandescent bulbs 75 w"

Thank you I just saw this. I got an actual heat lamp yesterday and after I upped it he warmed up and now he's walking around eating and both eyes are wide open.

Wont he get cold?

Not sure how old he is. He roamed on to my back yard the day before yesterday & I was told he is still a hatchling. I barely got a 75w lamp turned on in his enclosure & he was outside in the sun all day & was in his hide most of the day when he was out there. His eyes were open when I was...

@Tom I remember you mentioned his eyes earlier....

Are hatchlings heavy sleepers? I went to check on mine and he is not opening his eyes. He was earlier though. He moves when I touch him but I can't get him to open his eyes. Should I be concerned? I put a little water on him and he just moved but didn't open his eyes.

@Tom

I haven't been able to get the 50 gal tub today & hope to get it tomorrow. Is this enclosure okay for now? I used dirt that is slightly damp and I pat it down so it wasn't messy. (There is no chemicals or fertilizers in it) I also used foil to keep the heat in. Should i put more? A better...
