Haha, no problem. Thank you for your input. Our snakes are all very healthy and we haven’t found any problems with them rooting in their bark over many years. Perhaps we’ll try out a different substrate in the future.
It does seem that “how to raise a leopard tortoise” is different from every...
Thank you!

The basking light was making his whole enclosure above 50 degrees c and we weren’t able to improve this at all despite adding holes and other ventilation. We tried two different wattage bulbs. I’ll have to...
I appreciate the help. He has a basking light but it makes his whole enclosure way too warm despite our efforts to use both and keep it a suitable temp so we opted to keep it off. Humidity levels are 60-70%.
He is in a closed 4ft enclosure kept at average 30 degrees celsius with uvb light. Basking light makes his enclosure too hot. He’s active and soaks for 20-30 mins every 1/2 days. We use hemp for substrate and he is eating dandelion leaves, prickly ox tongue, nettles with added calcium.
Our beloved Leopard tortoise hasn’t put on any weight in a good while. He eats a good, full diet of dandelion and other suitable wild leaves with a calcium top up yet has not surpassed 70g and is almost 6 months old. He looks healthy and vibrant.
Does anyone have any experience/suggestions...
