I want to do a more natural enclosure for my tort by layering rocks on the bottom of the tank and adding dirt on top which I will also use to grow plants and possibly plant some grass for grazing. Problem is I’m having a hard time finding plain old dirt without additives. Would this be a good...

Hey everyone, I’ve posted a few times before about my tort not eating and her cage not being warm enough. Well I’ve fixed her setup and now the temp is perfect! But! I was moving furniture in my room and found black mold all against a wall [emoji31] I’m bleaching it and calling our property...

I’ve gone over the care sheet, thanks. I moved her into a drawer for now that I took out of my dresser. It’s about 2 feet long and a foot wide. I’m using foil to cover the top. Much smaller than what I had her in before so now it’s heating up nicely! Been 85-95 during the day and I take the foil...

Thanks everyone. I don’t have money until December 1st so I’m trying to make do but she’s still barely eating and I’m so worried. I put a divider type thing in her enclosure so the lamp only has to heat half of it and I covered most of the open areas with foil. Right now the temp is at 77.9 and...

Thank you :)

Thanks :)

Wow that’s a lot! Is all that necessary? Leopard tortoise and she’s only a few inches long. The light I wanted to get was an Exo terra solar glo all in one. So it provides heat and uv from one bulb. It’s a 125 watt.

Wow that’s a lot! Is all that necessary? Leopard tortoise and she’s only a few inches long. Here is the light I was thinking about getting, hopefully it loads now.

My tort is in a tub that’s 3ft long and 1 1/2 feet wide and 8 inches tall. Would this be a good light?

I really like your set up! Do you use a lid on top? What type of lights and substrate?

What should I do about the screen? How is it affecting the light?

Hmm. I have both the swirly uv light and the red heat light. I don’t think the red one is affecting the substrate because there’s none in there right now. I’m using paper towels and carpet type stuff. This is because I was previously using a mixture of play sand and ZooMed eco earth. And she...

The humidity fluctuates but is generally 30-50 percent until I mist it(then it goes up to 70-99)The enclosure is a long plastic tub with a lid and a hole cut out for the uv and heat lamp. I don’t know how to make it warmer since I already have two heat sources and keep the lid closed.

My leopard tortoise is not eating. I noticed about a week ago. Normally after her warm water soaks(which I do every day-every other day) I put her on her food dish and she begins to eat right away. But I’ve noticed she’s really not touching her food anymore and she’s also not pooping in the...

Awesome! Wish I had that much room to work with
