Thanks so much! great info...

Hi folks, I have been housing Leo in a glass terrarium until now but it cracked and I have decided to finally go with a table. I have debated whether I should build one or buy a small bookshelf. I am limited to building size since I live in a condo in the city. Here are my questions if I...

I want to breed him.. I live in condo and don't have space.. will be moving into a detached home next year and will give breeding a try.. he's gonna have to wait..

I must have the horniest tort in the land... I'll post a pic...[hr] This is not the best vid and you cannot quite hear him, but he was quite vocal earlier... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNJrFi-82hI&feature=youtu.be

Hey folks, For the first time ever (4 years - got him as a baby) Leo is humping his clay cave... he mounts it, and pumps away with his mouth ajar, lightly squealing, and his tail motioning toward a "female"!! It's at once comical and sad!!!! Should I offer him some relief? Poor guy!

set your food on a rough rock.. that's what I do.. I watch my guy eat and almost every other bite he's inadvertently biting into the rock and thereby wearing down and potential beak growth... my guy is 4 and no beak at all

Leo developed some mild pyramiding in the first 2 years. He's almost 4. This is my first tort. and I have made a few mistakes. But, I think he is otherwise very healthy and I try to take very good care of him. I know I should have kept it a bit more moist... He's eating well, he's active and...

He has been less active since I put the coco in... Maybe he's still getting used to it?

Sometimes I can hear a mild wheezing with my guy.. a high-pitched sound almost like a whistle... but it's mild.. and intermittent I am a bit concerned. Should I be? He is otherwise active and has a great appetite.

I don't think I spray my enclosure enough.. twice daily?? Wow... I've gone a week or more w/o spraying...

Ended up buying the coir... looks good.. he seems to like it, Thanks

he does it frequently.. few times per week and only at night.. i give him calcium powder a couple of times per week.. i once put cuttlebone but he ignored it

The stuff they sell around here is a brick of coco husk... you have to soak it. I this what you are referring to?

How about cedar mulch?
