HE IS EATING NOW! :D :D :D Phew!!

I think he's just picky today. I have green letters on the outside of the soaking box and he tried to eat that. :p

Do hatchling leos eat every single day? I've had my hatchling for 10 days now and he's been eating and drinking every day. Some days more than others. But today he has not eaten at all. He seems normal otherwise, he's drinking and the poop is nice and solid. Nice, clear eyes and hard shell. He's...

Thanks!! So glad you like! :) he's already explored a few times, so cute! It's sand with coco husk pieces on the dry side, but I can replace that with the orchid bark that I got if that is better. :)

He's eating now though. Not lethargic at all.

Hi, guys! I just got everything set up. I will see what the temps and humidity is at in a few hours, right now they are at 48% humidity and 81 f ambient temp. I have a drier side and a wetter side. The wet side is actually really damp. The IR gun I bought is acting up a bit so I don't know the...

I got this as calcium supplement as well as cuttlebone in the actual tank, is that good?

One question though, he does not seem to like his vitamins that I powder on top of the food. I mist the food so it's not as dry, but he tries to find the un-prepared leaves. Can I maybe put vitamins in his soak twice a week instead? He always drinks from the soak before he goes doo-doo. :)

I have a new and better tank! It's as big as I can fit in this room, but as he/she grows I will be able to build a table at another place in my apartment. I will take pictures once everything is set up.

I am a bit ashamed to show you this, but yes... This is what it looks like. Yes, that is sand, I was told it was good substrate. Today I went out and bought a ceramic heat lamp as the night temps plummet. I also bought new substrate that I will be mixing with the sand tomorrow, called orchid...

Thanks for all the replies! I will get back to you tomorrow when I have more time to show my setup. I already suspect the kit that was assembled for me is too tiny, and it has an open top which makes it hard to maintain the humidity. I will sit down and read the links thoroughly tomorrow as well.

Hi! I am new to these forums and entirely new to torties. I bought a 5 week baby leopard last Saturday and so far things have gone pretty good. I got him/her from a breeder here in Sweden that seemed good. He/she is very active, eats well and has nice poop. I think it was hard to find good...
