    U.K. Radiated tortoise owner!

    Hey everyone. I joined this forum a while ago not sure if I actually posted anything though! Had my baby radiated since about May! Would love to know if there’s any other U.K. keepers in here! Here’s the little dude this morning! I think I’ve done pretty well on good shell growth so far? What...

    Basking bulb

    Currently the viv is around 22 degrees c throughout the night (just from the heat of my room) and about 25-28C during the day without the basking bulb on. With the bulb on the hot side reaches 32-35ish and she does seem to enjoy it and spends a lot of time there. Do you think I just heat the...

    Radiated advice.

    A At the moment the basking spot hits around 32-35 degrees C and the cooler end is 25. Wasn’t sure whether the cool end was still too warm but sounds like it’s fine (sorry don’t know conversions off the top of my head )

    Impaction sypmtoms??

    I’ve put her on paper so at least if she does poo I might see traces of it! Not as active this morning as usual but she did have a short night as I was up till 2am working with a lamp on so she didn’t have total darkness until 2am-8am. Could that be a factor in behaviour also?

    Impaction sypmtoms??

    I’ve been soaking everyday ☺️ I didn’t want the pets at home substrate but the stuff I ordered online didn’t come for whatever reason so I needed something temporary - fingers crossed it all arrives tomorrow! I’ve ordered coco coir, I would have kept her on paper but then I was scared to have...

    Impaction sypmtoms??

    Probably over worrying... but my hatchling tortoise was brought home on tuesday night on paper as a substate and pooed twice yesterday. Last night I put her on pets at home tortoise terrain which is a mixture of topsoil sand and grit. Today she hasn't pooed at all but is very active and eating...
