I posted this in the canadian section but that section seems pretty dead and I need to figure this out in the next month! pictures: http://imgur.com/a/55gnu I'm only letting him go because I'm moving and I'm not sure if I can keep him wherever I end up:( He's 3 years old and never has been...

pictures: http://imgur.com/a/55gnu I'm only letting him go because I'm moving and I'm not sure if I can keep him wherever I end up:( He's 3 years old and never has been sick. He has no pyrimiding and has extremely vivid colouring. Extremely healthy, active and eating well. Inquisitive and...

he's a redfoot and 5 inches at the moment!

Hi all. I'm moving my tortoise across the country in a month and unfortunately I won't be able to bring my enclosure along. I'm looking for something that I can set up really quick because I don't want my tortoise to not be in an enclosure (he's small enough still to be good in an indoor...

I might have missed something -- how do you prevent the substrate from contacting the floor since it doesnt seem to have a bottom?

I have a socket rated for 150W that I want to put a 75W CHE in. Of course if this was just a 75w light I wouldn't be worried but it's a CHE which I assume outputs more heat. The socket ISN'T ceramic but if it's rated for 150W it should be pretty safe right? Is it okay if I put the CHE in?

weird then why are there so many indoor open enclosures?

I find it impossible to keep temps of 80s and high humidity without making my enclosure a closed chamber. So how are you all doing it?

ok thanks guys :) and yeah I have the lights on a timer and the heat on a thermostat :)

I'm leaving on the morning on the 29th and coming back on the 31st at noon (but lets say 31st at night just be be safe). so I can feed him on the 29th and refill his water and stuff, but he'll be spending all day on the 30th alone with no food, and possibly until at night on the 31st but i will...

I've been feeding him two pellets on the days where he doesn't eat greens but should I be feeding him more? He's 4.5 inches, looks like this:

I bought a pretty big bag of mazuri for my tortoise about 9 months ago. Should I replace it now? Is it too old and has it gone bad? It smells fine to me and I keep it in my cellar in an airtight container.

anyone have any ideas?

picked him up today and noticed that his scales on his legs look a little funky -- is it just me?

think he's getting enough air? I'm worrried he'll suffocate

Would something like using modelling clay or cement be easier?

So I keep my tortoise in a huuuuge aquarium, but I want to see if I can give him a little more room (plus I think it would look cool) by adding a second story. Imagine your typical rectangular aquarium. I want to put the second level right in the middle of that rectangle, with ramps leading down...

I live in canada so substrate is a little hard to come by. I'm just wondering if anyone has used this one before or can let me know what they think: http://www.amazon.ca/Scotts-Nature-Scapes-Sierra-56-6-Liter/dp/B00I9XDCPU/ref=sr_1_6?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1432428745&sr=1-6&keywords=mulch...

the light diffuser is just a panel to hold the lights and heating elements -- I cut holes in them to put lamps on.

I got a nice 75w CHE yesterday and I'm having trouble because it's so hot. I put it in a ceramic socket and tied that to a light diffuser panel with zip ties. I also cover the top of my enclosure with garbage bags to keep in humidity. The CHE is very hot to the touch (burning) and it makes the...
