So one of the females climbed out of the pond this evening and sort of paced up and down the side a few times. She's not done this before..
Is there anything I should be looking out for?
Thanks for the reply! Will definitely update :)
I've read that egg laying season is around April/May time. Is this correct or can it be any time of year?
Hello :) I have 4 Razorback turtles,1 male and 3 females. The male is around 4 years old, and the females are around 4, 7 and 7.
The male is mating with all 3 females. Should I be expecting eggs soon? Is there any sort of time length between mating and laying?
Any advice would be a huge help!
Hello :) I have two new female razorback musks that I will be introducing to the male and female I already have. The two new ones are currently in a separate tank but I plan on putting them into the indoor pond with the other two. I just have a few questions..
How long should I keep them...
Its a 'moonlight bulb'. It does give off some light but it's not very bright.

It's like that.
I will have a look for something more suitable over the weekend.
Okay, I'll give that a go :)
Okay, I really appreciate all the advice.
To increase the temperature would I need to put in another heat lamp? Or a higher wattage?
I have a night light I can put in to keep the heat up in the night. I'll try that and keep an eye on the night temps to see if I need to increase them more.
I will...
The basking temperature at the warm end of the enclosure is around 32-34C. The cooler end of the enclosure is around 24C.
At night it drops to around 20-24 depending on the temperature of the room.
There is a heat mat in one corner of the enclosure which is on all night.
I use a 100w arcadia d3...
Hi all,
I've got 2 leopard tortoises, both around 6 months old.
One seems to be growing a lot more than the other. I know they won't all grow at the same rate but it's quite noticable. I weighed them a few days ago and one was 94g and the other 49g.
They are both slightly pyramided as they were...
Hi. I've just soaked my leopard tortoise and I've noticed his claw is sort of snapped and is bleeding.
This has never happened before. What do I do?
I've posted this on species specific also but thought it might be better here.

Your set up looks amazing. I'm looking to do something similar for my two leopards, they're nearly 5 months old :) they're currently in a tortoise table but I'm finding it difficult to keep the humidity up.
How will you be joining both chambers?
I believe it is yes, they don't understand why they can't get through it, which leads to them walking into it constantly. I'd recommend a tortoise table rather than a vivarium :)
