I have read @Tom s forums and I have not found out how to humidify my tortoises cage, it is an aqua tank with a sort of chicken wire on the top, coconut organtic dirt on the bottom what he walks on, please leave tips how to make 80-100 percent humidifying so I can prevent pyramiding, thanks

I know this is a recommended one from another tortoise owner he said to get the mercury sun glow bulb it has UVB and does not cause blindness

@DeanS Can you confirm that is a good bulb for the sun and UVB, also I would turn it on and my night bulb as well to emit 90-100 degrees F for my tortoise, I take him outside everyday and soak him everyday but he is pyramiding a little bit, any advice? (by pyramiding i mean his shell rose from...

Ok, but if it was my baby Id make sure to ship him as close as possible to me as sometimes they suffer trauma, make sure you ask the owner where they work, if they have kids, any other animals, and MAKE SURE they do not interact with any other species of tortoises as babies no matter how...

Mine does that too sort of when he gets in water, like putting your teeth above your lip and slowly breathing in so it makes a screeching sort of sound, its just the sound they make sometimes it eventually goes away its slowly going away for mine

I have an 8 month old sulcata tortoise, I was talking with another breeder and you should never buy from petco for any tortoise species the UVB ray makes the babies blind, thankfully I found out soon and he is not, I have ordered new bulbs and will keep the Day and night one on during the day...
