cant remember if they're endangered and limit to the state they're in. ive seen spiders a few times in texas and florida listed for sale but never less than like 2-3k and they're usually gone pretty quickly.
there is no commercial readily available option to meet the needs of tortoises. your options are to do it yourself or pay a company or local contractor to make something that fits your available space and needs
An updated build sounds exciting.
After building a few enclosures now i have to agree there just is no making a box that is large enough and insulated enough to house most species in the majority of the US that would also come off as "reasonable" to the average reptile owner that hasnt gone...
Good info. Been trying to find any more indepth info on this product. I didnt know about the zoomed option till just now either. Still the only thing i can find its paid sponsorships of the product and virtually no real detailed reviews. 1" insulation isnt much but good enough for a summer...
ive tried it with mine and both couldnt care less for it. Even mixed in mazuri they wont touch it, but eat wild weeds and grasses happily. Same with the herbal hey stuff, wont touch it but no problem eating flowers.
They definitely do well in this set up for what I can tell until outdoors warms back up. I did think about insulation but I’m not sure how well a panel would hold up with the high moisture. It’s really only about how warm the bedroom gets overall; the enclosure stays perfect. From my basic...
Not the prettiest thing but it has been very functional and adjustable. Also easily reusable materials. I would recommend a thicker tarp for the top for a bit better heat insulation if it fits your budget. This is 3x7 for reference and I have a much larger 5x10 as well so the scaling is easy and...
i came up with 1x6 boards held together with 1' 2x4s. wrapp it underneath with a thick tarp and stapled it to the boards. attached a frame with 1/2" pcv tubing and covered the whole thing with a clear tarp. used extra clear tarp and some velcro to make a door. filled with coco and suspended...
I have the control centers for both my tortoises and find they work quite well. the "dimming" slot is just on/off yes tho that i agree with is somewhat useless. as well the humidity slot is also on/off which makes it not so perfect for humidity over the course of the day to naturally fluctuate...
while mine lived in one of those boxes as a hatchling i found it was quite easy to get a clear shower curtain and double sided tape and seal off the entire mesh part of the lid. The uvb strip easily can sit inbetween the mesh and plastic and cut out a whole just large enough to fit majority, but...
