Here is a previous thread about it. https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/can-tortoises-hear-ultrasonic-sounds.154464/

Lol, yeah I couldn't figure that one out either.

I don't know what they think it is but to the rest of the world it's a despicable or contemptible person

It is front of shell to back of shell. To measure put down a piece of painters masking tape slide the front of the shell against a wall or similar solid object and mark the tape at back of shell then measure the distance from wall to mark on tape.

Get that robotic arm that is constantly trying to clean up red paint.

I have the camera mostly so I can see the tort when I'm out of town for work months at a time. Everything else is good. Most work is maintaining humidity at exceptable levels.

I have one redfoot and even I am constantly monitoring everything. Then relaying information back to my wife to make changes. I work out of town a lot. I can watch my little tort on a wyze cam pan v3 camera and monitor temp and humidity with multiple sensor push sensors.

My tort has tested positive for having Mycoplasma.

Also look for one of these thermostat controllers that can handle the same watts as the heater you go with. Link is example only. https://www.bn-link.com/products/bn-link-digital-heat-mat-thermostat-controller-for-seed-germination-reptiles-and-brewing-40-108-f

Yes that is the correct style heater.

My redfoot tortoise came home with a Respiratory infection but that was from lack of proper care from breeder and wrong information given about proper care.

I haven't met anyone In person from this forum but I've met a large number of folks from the Model A ford forum I'm on. It is always great to meet people that you've talked to on the regular basis on the forums

I recommend you take the plunge on the Good set. The thing you need to remember is once you get them you need to wear them all the time. Hearing aid technology is crazy advanced now days. They are programed to slowly work their way up in volume to allow your ear drum to adjust to it. So if you...

You will most likely have to cover them all and best results for substrate is fir bark. In form of reptibark or orchid bark potting media (not mix)

Got it, I guess I took it the wrong way.

Are uvb/heat lamps ok to use? I thought they were a no for all tortoises.

Sorry for your loss.

I drove home this morning when I got off work out of state. Got about a 4 hour nap and 2.5 hrs to take care of Mojo and eat early dinner/lunch with my wife then back in the truck to make it on time for work. I'll be sleeping in tomorrow at the hotel for sure.
