What about soil from a personal compost bin? Would that be ok for use or from the backyard that doesn't use pesticides or anything?

Ah ok, my tort currently is on coco coir but I was curious as ill be changing it up soon. I started thinking about this when I relised half of the posts tell people that we are trying to create the more natural environment for them with diet and enclosure yet we use special substrate.

I'm going to start off with saying that I'm not arguing but genuinely curious. Why can't we use regular potting soil or dirt? Why does it have to be something special like coco coir or Orchid bark?

That's what we did, we got in the car with her in her travel container, turned the heat all the way up and the heated seat and drove around a bit

This is the inside from a while ago she has a hide now. I'll get one of the whole thing when I have power again though the room were in is now up to 80 with the help from the candles or at least where she is is up to a staggering 80. We have come up with a emergency plan my close friend lives...

Read through the leopard care sheet a few times just not sure how to keep it good for her I would usually have a blue night light for her that was a heat light on for night but since we got the new enclosure it was too big for it so I don't know how to put the heat sources where they need to be...

Probably not all the stores close enough is closed right now trees are down all over my area.

I know it's supposed to be warming and have like super hot basking spots but she just moved into her bigger enclosure and it's still getting finalized I just have no idea what to add to keep the temperature hot enough without 24 hour two heat lamps that is kinda bright.

I have two heat lamps on all the time for her just to keep the enclosure temp about 81 or so I'm still unsure on how to get it to stay warm enough I'm not sure what else I can get to keep it warm enough for her (when power is working)

Alright her enclosure was 69 and going down when I took her out it is now 73 where she decided to lay so it's better than her enclosure. She has a tiny water dish in there now since the power is supposed to be out for another hour or so. Thanks for the quick reply.

We don't have a gas stove but we might have warm water, if we do how do I keep her warm with it? Currently she's in her bath tub on a dry wash cloth with candles around it in my best attempt to keep her warm and it's warmer that it was in her enclosure.

In the middle of a power outage now and it's getting too cold for my baby leopard how do I keep her warm with no power?

Alright thank you, I figured they liked to graze from watching many videos of professional tortoise keepers say that their tortoises eat out an entire lawn quickly. My tortoise refuses to eat anything that's not lettuce or zucchini however she likes eating spider plant that I have in her...

I hear tortoises love to graze and I currently have a baby leopard and am working on growing her food for her enclosure however I want to grow some grazing trays to rotate in to her enclosure. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a seed mix of grasses and other small plants that I...

A Alright it is a type that screws in ill turn the uvb off for the night and keep the nightlight and heat lamp on, she has a larger hide that's darker that the light doesn't go in that she can go in I'm just not sure how to keep that part warm for her.
