    Tortoise and the hare

    That's so awesome. I'll be more adventurous again when my daughter is older. Always excited n a bit surprised to find a person with similar interests and hobbies. I think I'm...different. lol

    Incubator questions

    Wouldn't the temp gradient n lower Temps at night be most natural? I'm guessing that a single constant temp is desired so that breeders can say which sex they should be? And it doesn't actually have more benefits than say hatching in nature or a closer to natural setting?

    Climbing and diving headfirst

    Hey everyone! My 10 month Sri Lankan Star, "Aristurtle", has started climbing on top of his half log, surprisingly easily, and jumping headfirst.

    Untreated lumber

    I was curious about wood as well. Like to build something grand but worried about urine and moisture absorbtion, mold and things of that nature.

    Closed "Chambers"

    Hello Kristina, I'm feeling like the worst tortoise mommy right now! I have two amazing Sri Lankan Stars about 6 and 8 months. Had them since they were 2 and 4 weeks. I thought I was doing well with them but now I'm concerned. I was expecting some pyramiding due to their genes but I have read...
