It was hatched sometime in ‘24. Never got an actual date…. Starting to realize I may have should’ve went elsewhere purchasing the little one. The picture should give its size a reference. I’ve never measured or have weighed it yet. Been trying to keep handling to a Minimum to allow it to adjust...

At Night for a Hermann's Tortoise?

My Temps at Night Near 73-74F on the Cool side and somewhere near 75-76 on the Hot Side.

Great… 😔 Looks like I have some work to do to make sure this doesn’t continue. I should’ve know when the Breeder said he kept the little one on Rabbit Pellets and didn’t have a Problem with Humidity in California….

I have the Humidity at High 60’s near the Basking area and mid 70’s elsewhere at the Moment during the day. Closed Chamber PVC . 50watt basking bulb due to Temps in Enclosure rising too high, 12% T5 UVB, LumenIZE LED light. My Humidity levels jump drastically at Night with lights off into the...

Recently acquired a Western Hermann’s off Morph Market on June 18th. While soaking and looking the little one over, I noticed some of his scutes look a little raised. Is this little one pyramiding or am I just over reacting?

That's a big 10-4! Wasn't aware of the consequences from Dimming them. I'll be making that change once I get home in the AM! @Markw84 @Tom I don't think I can get the Temps any Lower! The Room at Night is around 73F with our AC and Ceiling Fan on at 72F. His Enclosure is Stacked on top of...

Reporting Back, after a day of trial and error! By George, I think I GOT IT!! The 50watt Basking Flood bulb isn’t warming the entire enclosure up and I’m able to get my Basking slate up to Temperature. 95F (Need to further play with the probe to dial it in. Plus I’m able to Dim the LED to where...

Back again… I’m trying to get my setup together for a Western Hermann’s tortoise before he arrives on the 18th. (My Birthday Present) He’s a little under a year old. I have finally assembled and set up the PVC enclosure with Bedding/Slate and Plants. (went the Bioactive Route with Clean up...

Just the Guy I was hoping to get a response from! I did know not to leave the UVB Fixture on Full Time. That’s exactly why I went the LumenIZE route to be able to give more of a Natural Day/ Night Cycle. At 7AM gradual ambient light and UVB increasing from 0% til around Noon - 4PM where the...

I’m in the Process/Mad Dash of getting everything figured out/ needed before taking shipment of my little Hermann’s Tortoise. He/or She is basically a well started hatchling hatched in 24’. The Problem isn’t the Substrate, the Temps( I understand all of that), but just the D*mn placement of...
