    An outdoor house for Timi the Sulcata

    WOW! Timi's new house came out AMAZING! I wish I can find someone to help me build something before we move. We are moving back to Florida from Tennessee. A friend of mine is letting me house my tortoise at her property because my rental won't let me have her there, which is killing me. I've...

    Well, she has a good enclosed, insulated house with her heat mat, uvb wild for the day, purple bulb for night and a heat bulbs on all day unless temps go above 40. She is about close to 50lbs or so. Pleasantly plump 🤣 We've been in Tenn now almost 3 years, have had snow, but not the weather...

    Stump 2yrs 11th month in the snow

    My African Sulcata walked out of her house after the snow, drank some water and headed back for the heat. We are gonna have some REALLY cold weather coming to Tennessee within the next couple of weeks. They are talking about negative temperatures and we are notnused to it being from Florida...

    New heat bulbs

    So I'm shopping around for a new heat bulb for my tortoise. She's an African spurred tortoise and about 50-60lbs. Winter is coming in Tennessee so I'm looking for some ideas..

    A heating question.

    She was fatter in Florida. She had about 20 something eggs in her. But unfortunately we lost the all during the rainy season. It was awful

    A heating question.

    Wellington is right. I live in Tennessee moved from Florida. We really didnt need them in Florida, but in Tennessee we get snow. My tortoise is about 50-60lbs and I have one from Zoomed, it's the habitat heater pad. I also have a UVB for her (she won't leave her hutch when it's snowing 🤣) and an...

    Curious about heater

    Haha. I won't get as cold as you. We get some nights below 30's but no snow yet. Last year(our 1st year in TN) , she had a 100watt ceramic heater in her wooden house outside(which is insulated) but I just want to make sure she has enough heat. Would a 150watt ceramic heater (which is hung above...

    Single Tortoise Night Box

    Hey Mr. Tom. I was just sent your post about your housing for your tortoise. Did you cover the heating mat with any carpet or anything? I am using a ceramic 100watt heater for my tortoise and a UVB light. It worked great last winter in Tenn(we moved from Florida. She's probably mad at 😆) but...

    Curious about heater

    I have a 50ish lb sulcata tortoise. We moved from Florida to Tennessee, weather is MUCH colder here. I am curious what wattage I need for a heater for her. I have 65 watt heater now. Do I need to go higher?
