I soaked the girls this weekend and Dodi (darker) had the time of her life while I was rinsing her off after! She just couldn't get enough of getting "rained on" 😂. It was so fun watching her enjoy it that I couldn't help but share it! Diana (lighter/more yellow) hated every second of it, but...

Hi Mattt0912, what is the thing you're soaking them in called? I'm looking to find something like what you have for my leopards' outdoor enclosures. Also your redfoots are beautiful😍

Hi, thanks for the info! I'll check her and her enclosure, clean her up and get some cream, and keep an eye on her. Thank you!

Hi! Thanks for your reply! Yes, I soak her in a plastic kiddie pool that's about 3.5 ft in diameter, but the walls are probably 6–8 inches high. She definitely tries to climb out a lot— she hates it! I'll look for something else with higher walls.

I will post pictures for gender determination as soon as I can. Last night, she continued digging very slowly and eventually stopped. I left her alone and checked on her every hour or so. She stayed under the heat lamp over night and didn't move until around 8am. We went back out and found her...

Thank you so much for all the info, this was super helpful! 1. We've got two 100W CHEs that we'll hang over her from an A-frame ladder. My husband is running to Walmart to grab a pop-up canopy to put over the ladder to keep the rain off, but for now, I've got an umbrella over her. She is...

Hi all, one of my recently-adopted 13-year-old leopard tortoises is unexpectedly laying eggs! We've only had them less than a month. Their previous owners were certain that they were both female, but we don't know for sure. They were kept together for their entire lives until we got them three...
