Oh wow! I was not very observant! Thanks for taking the time to set me straight. You are an ambitious guy!

Thank you both very much. It's a huge help. You are the best! Tom, congratulations on your new falconry apprenticeship. I look forward to watching your stories.

Last Fall I came to the Forum and received great help with setting up one of our bedrooms as an enclosure for our 6 year old Leopard tortoise, Reggie. We are heating the room with a oil filled heater. The temp averages 79 - 84 in various parts of the room. The room is 10' x 11' and we have 24"...

Thank you, Tom!

Thank you, Tom, for your fast reply. The next inevitable question- what is a safe fertilizer? I’m using Kellog organic soil that you recommended.

I bought african seed mix and clover seed from Tortoise Supply to supplement Reggie's diet. It is planted in a flower pot under a grow light and the african seed has sprouted an amazing 8 inches since I planted it 10 days ago! I'm not able to find much information about growing it. I did see...

Update on Reggie and his hide. When he chose to sleep in the corner instead of his new hide, I followed your advice and blocked the entryway to keep him in. I felt like a rat fink doing it and really hated the thought of repeating it. But after just one night, he got the hint and went in on his...

Thank you Yvonne. None of this could have happened without the help of the Forum. Tom , Wellington, team Gomberg, Jaziel, and many others are so knowledgeable and gave us great advice and help. Can’t thank you all enough!!

Those are really good ideas, especially as it gets colder.

The closet lent really well for the bed time stories and hide. My husband is very talented!

Thank you! The radiant heat in our house does help with floor heat. We are so happy to give him more space. He is pretty adorable :)

You have to that right - we are Reggie’s slaves- ha ha!! Thank you for your help and encouragement

Thank you so much for all your help. Here are pictures of the room and our handsome guy. It’s not complete but almost. I think Reggie likes it.

On Sunday we introduced Reggie to his new room. I do think he he is impressed 😃 As Wellington suggested, we set it up so the daytime oil radiator heater turns off at night and the VE radiant panel comes on in his hide. Both are on timers. The only problem is Reggie is choosing to sleep in the...

Thank you for your replies. I feel much better about it!

Thanks to all of you. I appreciate your fast replies

Good point about what it is damp with. The boxes it shipped in have no indication of dampness and the bags do not seem to be open or punctured. This is our first time using Repti Bark. We chose it because there were great reviews for it on the Forum. Most of the bags have completely dry...

It's me again. We have been working on the new space for our leopard tortoise, Reggie, for several weeks. Many of you have offered excellent adivce to help us along. We ordered Repti Bark for the substrate early on and just opened the boxes tonight to begin putting it down. Several of the...

I’d be interested in understanding those reasons. If digital is better, I will wait for it. Just got a confirmation that HD did just ship it. Fingers crossed.

Tom: Home Depot's timer is scheduled to deliver 10/24. I looked on Amazon for a faster delivery. Would this non-digital timer be a suitable substitute for the timer you linked me to? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035GF8NA/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
