Thanks! Im just getting worried since I know Ive already turned around his diet/ environment setup from his previous owner, scared it could be something worse But yup, thats exactly what the vet said, im very pleased to see him growing well, he eats a lot, I feed him 2-3 times daily, 3 times...

Hey Guys, I have a healthy sulcata, hes about 4-5" now (shell diameter) His diet consists of the following: Hibiscus Leaves and Flowers, "Saluyot" and "Kang Kong" (local weeds in the Philippines), occasional Okra, opuntia, and calabasa His supplements are calcium with d3 which is given every...

btw, mine are 2 adults, a 9yo male roughly 5.5" and a younger female at 5" :) when temps where higher, they'd spend most of their time inside hides, or soaking in said water dish They also have a 5.0 13w UVB which is on for roughly 12 hours a day, but I let them soak under natural sunlight as...

Mine prefer lower temps. I have a basking spot of 35-37c and instead of going directly under the spot, theyd prefer soaking on their water dish which is situated just a little bit near the basking spot. After observing that, Ive lowered the basking temps to 34-36c, ambient is at 32-34 and the...

Hi ElfDa, welcome to the forums, Im no expert but I think as long as your setup can lock in humidity and provide Penny with the correct temp levels, then I guess thats all good. I have a question for the experts, I have an incoming Leopard, he's roughly 6-7" in size and has signs of pyramiding...

Hi Maggie Yup! They spend 2-3 hours outside (they have a 5x5 area in our garden where they roam around in, soak and bask directly under the sun too) The 10-15 mins before was only during the rainy season :)

Hi all! Ive changed my setup and started using aquariums instead of the low bins ive had before Ive been able to keep the necessary temps inside and the humidity, but Im a bit concerned about air circulation. I have 2 tanks, 1 20 gallon for a sulcata hatchling, and 1 40 gallon for 2 rfs...

Hi, yup, thats natural sunlight, but theres no glass blocking it. Its an open window.

Here are updated pics of them during feeding time (while getting proper exposure to sunlight) so far only the elongated one gets to spend time in the garden, I was hoping to do the "humidity" treatment Tom has done to fix the slight pyramiding on the 6.5 red foot (Saruman)

Oh and theres a water dish for all of them, and a back up food dish for the 2 bigger ones in case they cant spend the time outside So far since its Dec (cool season in our area - will last until feb) theyve been spending most of their times indoors, but when its warm enough again, theyll be...

Theres a water dish and a hiding spot for the hatchling, for the juvies (6.5 and 8) Theyre just there mostly during night times or when weather outside isnt warm enough for them, other than that they spend most of their times in an outdoor enclosure

Hi guys! Thanks for the feedback! They get natural sunlight daily, original plan was to expose them at least an hour a day, but will need to change that after getting feedback Hey Tom Need your expertise, so the setup isnt ok since its just ambient temps, a bulb inside the enclosure will...

Closed chamber bins Hey guys, this is my current setup for my torts (2 redfoots and 1 elongata) been reading about closed chambers on the forum, problem is since the bin heights too low, i set the heat lamps outside So far im getting the the following Temps 30-32c Humidity 80-90% For air...

Thanks! Im keeping the temps at 80, humidity at 80-90% no direct lights, hes in a closed chamber bin, and from time to time ive caught him trying to escape, hehe, the bins top cover opens like a chest, hed usually stick himself out in the middle where the 2 pc cover meets. Ill try mushrooms and...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :)
