I have the top covered in plexiglass, but the one night I just left the ceramic heater on and thought it would be enough and it wasn’t. I didn’t know about the moss, I’ll def take it out now, she likes to burrow a bit into it… any other substrate you recommend? She has coconut fiber under the...
Oh Pleasantville isn't too far, I am going to keep an eye on her tonight if she squeaks again, I will definitely call them in the morning. She hasn't been eating as much as usual the last 2 days, and now squeaking, I am a bit freaked out. Thank you for your help !
Ok so I think my 8 month old leopard baby has gotten sick. I changed her all glass enclosure to a new wooden one with a "sleep side". The one side is glass and I have her lights, but the other side I am not sure how to heat. I do have a heating mat but not sure if its safe to put the coconut...
no discharge but she has been pumping her head more than usual, ill keep a close eye on her, I have a pet camera on her since im always afraid she could flip over and I won't be home to help her. I can go back and see. If it is an infection, what can I do? Is there antibiotics I can put in her...
My leopard tortoise (about 8 months old) started squeaking. I tried to move her, I recently changed her enclosure to a bigger one, and I was trying to move her to adjust something and she squealed. I always pick her up gently and she never makes any noise. I put her up to my face again and she...
Sorry just posted some pictures, I thought I posted in the original post, I usually only take her out for about an hour or an hour and a half after work. Just the sun was really shining today and it was almost 90 degrees here and I was laying next to her and noticed the white all around her shell.
Hi everyone, new tortoise mom here, we’ve had Jackie the tortoise for about 2 months now. She has grown significantly since she first arrived. Today was a beautiful day in New York and I’m trying to get her accustomed to being outside for the summer. I am noticing white in between her shell, I’m...
I received my leopard tortoise hatchling last week from TortStork ! They definitely have cherry heads tho, he posts a lot on his Instagram too ! He has pictures of all the hatchlings available. Very responsive and quick shipping!
Thank you ! I read the care sheets linked up top, I’ll be changing things around tomorrow morning, as of course all of our pet stores and even Walmart is closed early now. Thank you for your time. Hoping baby Jackie thrives and lives a long healthy life.
Thank you for your help ! Just trying to make sure she grows healthy and strong. So our mister arrived she’s at 92% humidity now, and I will be checking on the lighting I dumped the boxes so tomorrow I will go buy her 2 new bulbs, one night bulb just heating no light, and do you recommend any...
This is her right now, she won’t wake up even tho I’m carrying her and she’s in a warm bath. It’s like she has no energy to stand up, she was walking but almost like dragging her self when she was.
I did a lot of research but not anything specific for leopard hatchlings. It does have a cover for the lid and the pictures were yesterday, today she barely opened her eyes, I didn’t know about the night light, during the day she does have a uvb heating light, at night she has this red light but...
