    It is a normal wooden vivarium with pond liner on the bottom and up to the glass. It stays humid in the night when the lights are off but drops rapidly in the day without the fogger.

    That is a relief about the weight. I've just given him a big pile of fresh grass, some large dandelion leaves and a few smaller weeds ? Starting to wonder if he got a bit spoiled on rocket and pak choi......

    I should add that the humidity is now accomplished using a fogger.

    Hey guys. I have some concerns...... I just weighed Alex for the month (it seems I either forgot to do so last month or the update to the chart didn't save properly). Anyway, he is losing weight? 14/01/2020 – 92.80 grams 16/02/2020 – 107.60 grams 16/03/2020 – 134.14 grams 15/04/2020 –...

    Hey guys, Just after some feedback...... Here are two pics of Alex taken today. He is having daily baths for 25 minutes and is eating very heartily. The weather in the UK has been abysmal the last few months (though it has been boiling the last few days) and so he has been largely eating...

    Bloody hell. I just watched tort attempt to climb and suddenly fall off this log hide. He landed on his back and couldnt right himself. Five minutes after I put him back upright he did the exact same thing. Any advice on safer things to go in there? Cant bare the thought of him flipping...
