Here is the latest in glen taking a bath in his soak pan and the most recent on his enclosure both working nicely

Ok I was going to put fake plants in there but was worried about him trying to eat them. And yes I use a red bulb and turn it was down until I get a CHE probably next week. He has never tried to eat his substrate and is very active at night which I also thought was strange... He seems active at...

So I have my leopard he is one month and he is in a hundred gallon indoor custom made enclosure made by my local zoo. (Use to work there) it is completely enclosed on three sides and the front is plexiglass. He can see out of the front and seems to just walk into the glass a lot. I have read he...

my tummy is full and I can't move!!

Thanks so much Tom!! I know your probably the top mind in this forum and I appreciate you helping me! You as we'll Wellington! So when you say dark at night is a red bulb not a good idea? And I mean only for night. I know you recommend a CHE but I am running into having to turn my MVB off and...

So I have my leopard as a few of you know in a hundred gallon box I got from the zoo I worked at. The diet I'm feeding was out together by reading a ton of different sources and compiling why I thought was the best of the best. Now I'm wondering about heat. I keep a basking zone of about 110 and...

I have a 125 watt Exo terra solar glow MVB during the day and a 150 watt infrared spot bulb at night. The cool side stays around 83 with a basking zone around 110.. At night same thing high humidity never dropping below 83. Switched to a cypress mulch bedding and I love it! He gets around better...

I am doing escarole turnip greens mustard greens endive collards and dandelion all in rotation and each time I chop up Timothy hay in with it cut really fine to get him extra fiber.! How does that sound??

Ok sounds good I will try that!! What do you feed uours

Mine will only sleep in one corner of his tank and won't use his humid hide so far but he is in and out of his water bowl a lot and I keep it very humid so I think we are doing ok so far... I'm just not liking the Eco earth that much it was great for my snakes but for tortoises that walk through...

I think I'm sold on the micro climate theory... Having a humid spot that's really wet for humidity and a dry spot on the other side as well as a humid hide... Seem the most natural for them... I'm going to pick up some cypress mulch today and probably leave a little of the Eco earth for moisture...

I guess I'm just annoyed with the Eco earth... It's messy as all get out... I see tons of people using lots of sphagnum moss as substrate as well as cypress mulch and it seems so much cleaner... I agree with the idea of putting a flat tile down and I'm getting one tomorrow but this is a three...

Ok I may try the mulch... I'm using a terra cotta dish for water like a lot of people suggested and it works really good but it he tracks the Eco earth everywhere! He is in an out of he water all the time so I have to keep pulling the dish out and cleaning it and putting it back in and burying...

I can't keep it damp though I try to but he still draggs it everywhere and I can't keep it packed enough around his water dish and he has a hard time getting in and out and I'm worried he might flip over.... You can see my light is in the corner to create a micro climate over the moss for...

So I'm having a issue with my tortoises substrate. I'm using Eco earth with flukers sphagnum moss in one corner and I his humid hide. My issue is he is dragging the Eco earth all over the place in his water all over his food because I'm keeping the humidity up around 70-80 percent it sticks to...

Yeah I had it buried more but he walks around it and moves the dirt around... It's hard to keep buried enough but I try to keep it down... Got it so the cage never goes below 82 on the cool side even at night... I have a 150 watt red bulb for night and it keeps the whole tank hot and humid but...

getting his soak on [hr] completed tank with the humid hide on the right filled with moss... You can see the humidity built up on the glass front... I had 101 on the hot side and 81.7 on the cool side... I just was worried he was hiding a lot

So I have had my baby leopard for two days now and I'm trying to figure out what normal behavior is? He tends to sleep quite a bit and bury himself in his moss I know the temps are correct but should he be walking around and alert all the time or what is normal behavior. He is eating and pooped...

Definitely on the ground where he lives just set it on the ground for a while and see what it does
