    Durin - 5 week old check-in!

    Thank you for chiming in! Yes, I have kind of melded Tom’s, Hermanni Haven’s and breeder’s care sheets…I should have noted that I have 6500k LEDs on for 12hrs. I’ll go back and check temps/humidity in case I’m remembering incorrectly.

    Durin - 5 week old check-in!

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving in the US, and a great weekend everywhere else! We ended up getting a foot of snow... Durin (Dalmatian Hermann's) was just shy of 2 weeks old when he joined my crew, and I've had him for about 3 weeks. He is enthusiastic with all of the offerings I've...

    Daily diet feed on romaine lettuce and bokchoy bad ??

    Have you tried contacting Mazuri directly to see if they have distributors near you? Mazuri is part of Purina Feeds, so perhaps you might be able to see if a retailer of Purina livestock foods, or maybe even pet foods can special order it for you? Otherwise, Google says this place can get you...

    Introducing Durin!

    Thank you! It's a 50 gallon stock tank - about 4' long x 2.5' wide x 1' high. They definitely have larger sizes that might be better-suited to a redfoot 'grow out' enclosure?

    Introducing Durin!

    @Krista S @ZenHerper The large pot has a rose of sharon in it. It's still transitioning from 'commercial' soil to non-fertilized soil, so blasted a bunch of buds and is looking kind of sad. I am looking to add some plants to the warm side, but just haven't had a second to look at what will do...

    Introducing Durin!

    Hi All! First, thank you to everyone who helped me fine-tune Durin's enclosure, but please don't hesitate to let me know if there are still things that seem off. Durin is a Dalmatian Hermann's and was hatched 10.22.21. I picked him up yesterday afternoon, and after a warm soak, a bite to eat...

    Feedback on hatchling Dalmatian Hermann's enclosure, please?

    Hi @Krista S ! Thank you for the welcome and the feedback as well! I very much plan on watching how the hardscape may be a risk...the flipping hazards are the most difficult aspect (I think) for me to anticipate without having any experience with what they are capable of. I have "bloody mary"...

    Feedback on hatchling Dalmatian Hermann's enclosure, please?

    Hi @MarginatedMooney, thank you so much for the welcome, the feedback, tips and encouragement! Since I wrote the post, I have already replaced the spot bulb with a regular incandescent bulb, and discovered that I won't need the CHE or humidifier (and thank you for the warning re: humidifiers. I...

    Feedback on hatchling Dalmatian Hermann's enclosure, please?

    Hi all! Trying to get a hatchling enclosure set up properly, and hoping to get some feedback. I've tried to meld both Tom's "Temperate Tortoise" and Chris Leone's hermanni care guides, and would really appreciate your folks' eyes on anything I may have missed/misunderstood/misinterpreted. This...
