Thank you Yvonne for all of the info and photos. Heather is correct, it appears that it was a very old boxer that Chewed on him all night. The cracks in the carapace hairline but are everywhere. Some of the edges have been broken off but the soft tissue seems ok. The poor little guy looks awful...

Good idea. Thank you

Apparently they have children but I'm unsure of the ages.

Wish I knew. I have no connection with them. I don't know why anyone would make up such a horrible story. I would hate to think of anything worse!

Ok, we will make those adjustments. Thanks so much! It was good meeting you in Phoenix! It's always nice putting a face with the name! I wish we were able to have attended the conference. Kasidee and I were meeting Will to pick up a gorgeous hatchling! Which is just growing like crazy!

The other temp/humidity gauge is a battery operated version that we put in a corner. The remote has been set at 85, how high should I increase knowing the discrepancy?

It's approximately an inch up from the substrate. Do you think it would vary that much?

A little back story. We have been battling with a couple dry start leopards. Carrot and pedialyte soaks, sun, temp, you name it we have been watching every move. Lost one and the other is hanging on but not healthy for sure. Tom's information on dry starts has been so helpful and it does give...

Crazy right?! I want one to crawl out from under one of my trees!! I would love to get an idea of her age?
