    Does my tortoise have RI

    Okay, thank you!!!! She seems fine today, eating, walking a little but basking on the warmer side. I can't thank you enough. If there is anything you want, amazon card, please let me know. I really appreciate it. I'll get a video maybe later. I am letting her do her thing for a couple of days...

    Does my tortoise have RI

    You're my angel. I think I am just waiting. Maybe I have stressed her out. The other day, is when I noticed a slight change in her activity. And it was because I rotated the coconut coir. I took the coir that was underneath and dry and mixed it with the top layer that has been moist. It did have...

    Does my tortoise have RI

    HI, I have a 15 month old leopard tortoise. When I received my baby, the first few days, she had some bubbles coming out of her nose. I soaked her and kept her warm for several days and it seemed to go away. On occasions, I have noticed some squeaky noises. I have had her 6 weeks and overall...

    Leopard/sulcata starter

    yes. I am super excited. Thank you. Yes, I am adjusting the temperatures and wanting it to be constant here soon, because every time I open it, the heat comes out. Right now, the domes are on top. And the enclosure is 48x24x18 H. Mark's enclosures will have the lights inside, as you know, and...

    Leopard/sulcata starter

    So, I did a plastic "hood" for the top of the enclosure. Levels are good, but I am nervous to leave with plastic nearby my lamps. Not touching and I am constantly opening and shutting the plastic to make adjustments to heat. SO, a friend of mine is helping me buy a closed chamber from Mark, so...

    Leopard/sulcata starter

    Okay. So I can redo on Sunday. For now, it is better. I have a 48Lx24Wx18H. Will that be okay to put the domes inside? I have to figure out a way to secure them. I am already tight on my budget.

    Leopard/sulcata starter

    Okay, so I am still learning how to navigate on here, so hopefully this is from the right thread. From your wonderful pictures of modifications for closed chambers, I bought some greenhouse plastic, and I am just going to put over the top of my screen and tape sides down. Then I am going to cut...

    Leopard/sulcata starter

    Wow, thank you so much. I took the humidifier out and stirred the coco coir. It was saturated. That is probably why the dubia is leaking. I took out some of the substrate and mixed in some of the dry. I put repti bark on top. Right now the humidity is great, but not sure how long it will last. I...

    Ceramic Heat or Heat Projectors

    Great. I do use coco coir, topped with repti bark. I am growing arizona tortoise compound weed, grass and flower seeds and will put that in. Dubia does have side vents. I will duct tape. And I think I will have to seal the bottom. I do have a waggle camera that I bought to monitor my dogs and...

    Ceramic Heat or Heat Projectors

    Sorry, to answer your question, the control center is to help, if I need to be gone and need a pet sitter in the future. Otherwise, I am home all the time. I often check humidity and temps through out the day. Looking for easy. I emailed Mark, so hopefully I can hear back. I use small...

    Ceramic Heat or Heat Projectors

    About a month ago, I bought a 14 month old leopard tortoise. Great breeder. I bought an appropriate set up, but already wanting to change up a few things. I was wondering (PLEASE DELETE IF THIS IS NOT ALLOWED) what is recommended. I am looking for a reasonably priced environment control...
