She is gorg!!! How did you keep her shell so smooth??

Great! Thanks Tom!

Oh okay! Thank you

Lately, I have noticed that my tort has discoloration on his head and I'm worrying about it. Sometimes after a bath though, it will look normal but then after some time passes it goes back to a white patch instead of his golden color. I don't know if you can really tell in the photos but his...

Hello! Last question. What's the best uvb light to use for a 40 gal? Right now I have an 18" zilla slimline desert fixture T8 50 uvb. Since I went from a 15 to a 40 I don't know which is best. I was looking at the reptisuns but not sure how many inches I should move up if necessary.

Hey Tom! You know best so I was wondering if theres a specific humidifier you recommend for a baby tort? or just mist the enclosure with like a shower curtain on top?

Thanks so much Tom! Thats what I ended up with. (:

Thanks Jodie! (:

Yeaa, thats what Im going for! Thank you!

Hi everyone! I was just wondering where do night heat lamps go? I have a 40 gal and have my basking lamp on one side and was curious to know if the night heat source goes on the same side as the basking or on opposite side? UVB is spread across the whole tank. Just iffy on the other lamps. Also...

Willing to trade my tortoise supplies for a zoo med tortoise house. I have a 15 gallon tank, one bend a bridge, Exo terra mandarin jungle plant with suction cup. Also, alfafa pellets (about 3/4 of the bag). I've only had these items for three weeks. So still great!

Do you recommend a tortoise house or a 40 gallon tank for a baby leopard tortoise? Also, should loose coconut fiber be used for substrate or wood chips?

I have a picky little tort. I changed his tank from a 15 gallon to a 40 gallon. He has his uvb light which is spread across the tank. Humidity stays at about 89%-95. The overall temps range from 83-89. Basking is at 95-100. I use a CHE now at night to regulate his night temps so they do not fall...

Oh okay got it! I'll look into that further. So 80 should be a set temp throughout the night? Thank you so much for the help!!!

He's very active in the morning and throughout the day. It's too cold right now to take him out so I've been bringing things in. And I know 15 is too small. It's just a temporary thing because I live in like a shoebox at the moment until I can lease my apartment. So in that case should I up the...
