Hi! Whoa was typing this mid earthquake. That’s a first. Hope you’re ok since I see you’re in Southern California. Yes this locks with a latch. It is black but it is there. I did not pre drill holes since some people may not want the hole however I have been looking into a way to offer a...

Thanks for the comment! This is made of wood and styrofoam insulation.

Hello everyone, Over the past several months, I’ve been developing an affordable outdoor solution for our shelled friends. I'm still getting things up and running but excited to introduce to you the Buddy Bungalow—the first outdoor shed designed primarily for tortoises. Key Features of the Buddy...

Thanks, @zovick ! I was just getting nervous and trying to make sure I was getting all the steps right. Cheers!

Hi, I acquired this leopard tortoise that had pyramiding prior to me picking it up. In april it was 219 grams. It's more than doubled in size since mid april and is now 490 grams. I am doing everything I can to minimize pyramiding moving forward. It has a varied diet, mainly escarole, endive...

Hi all, New to the forum here as a user but have been getting great info and chuckles for about a year now from various threads. We recently purchased an 8 inch leopard tortoise from a reptile show here in LA, 2 weeks ago and have a few questions specific to this tortoise. 1. At 8 inches...
