    No. Sorry. Tortoise Forum is about the only "social media" I engage in.
    Did you happen to get any hard copies of The Crying Tortoise, and if so, any left?

    I just have my one copy.
    Tom, I created a post in the Sulcata section about my VERY sick baby sully. You were so helpful with my last post....Could you take a look and see what you think? I'm very worried and don't know what else to do. Any suggestions or advice are very much appreciated!
    Hello!
    Our Sulcata is a female and nine years old. About a month ago she started trying to escape. Yesterday she succeeded but is home safe and sound. She keeps trying to break out in the same direction. My question is how far can she sense a male. If heard 100 yards. Is that accurate? Could it be 500 yards or more?
    Thank you
    Hi Tom, Do you currently have any sulcata babies or juveniles for sale?

    I do not. Wrong time of year. They lay in winter and hatch in spring. Try Lance or Austin. Lancecham or AZSulcata

    Hi Tom. Sorry to bother you. Im new to the forums but am very interested in the testudo seed mix you mentioned in a post and since its almost winter here in colorado i was curious if growing the mix indoors is feasible? Thanks for your time.

    I've never tried to grow it inside, but with the right lighting, I bet you can.
    I recently got two 6mo old leopard tortoises. I have their cage set up and heat is maintained to 78 on the cool nesting side to 90 degrees on the hot side. The problem is keeping the humidity up on the hot side. The humidity is at 78% on the cooler side and both sides have a log that I have wet moss with, but the humidity under the ceramic heat lamps is usually around 50-55%. Is that ok?

    Too low. Closed chamber is the solution. Look up Animal Plastics either here on the forum or on the web.

    Thank you, ordered one and appreciate the advice.
    In my larger 4x8' enclosures in my cold garage, I use two 100 watt CHEs to spread the heat out. I just get timers from the hardware store.
    In most cases a 100 watt will do it, but since it is thermostat controlled 150 watts isn't a bad idea in case of an unusually cold winter ni
    In your article you mentioned a 65 watt incandescent flood bulb and Cermaic Heating which wattage?, I was wondering for what size enclosure this was for? And can you recommend a timer? Thx!
    Do you think it would be of interest to set up a place for people with babies can track the growth or health issues each month. This would give us all a lot of information. Not to mention fun!!

    There are many individual threads where people do this. Because growth rates vary so much and for so many different reasons, I'm not sure what value it would have. Most people don't find someone who starts there babies as well as Austin. You hit the jackpot there.
