Anyone in the solar eclipse "hot zone" planning on observing how it affects your torts? I'd be curious to hear everyone's observations. I'll be keeping a close eye on Ghost and watch for any anomalies. I was reading that during a previous eclipse, Galapagos torts at a zoo started mating.
I hope this isn't too dumb a question, but I want to do a deep cleaning on Ghost's outdoor house this spring. Is Murphy's oil soap safe to use around him?
Anyone had experience with virtual vets? I see quite a few people with limited or no access to a tortoise vet. Wondering if such a service would be worth it?
Anyone know if sorghum/Sudan grass/hay is safe for tortoises? Info during a Google search is all over the map! I've never heard of it until today when someone brought it up to me.

My Solarmeter 6.2 is on the frits and needs to be replaced. I primarily using it to determine bulb efficiency. I was looking into the 6.5r model as well to measure D3 synthesis. Are there any models out there that can reliably accomplish both? I read that Solarmeter recommends purchasing both...
Serious question I have here. I've been moderately arachnophobic for as long as I can remember. Would it be considered cruel if I bought a T for therapy?
I have a bunch of bok choy growing in my greenhouse and noticed a couple of them started sprouting little yellow flowers. I never even knew the dang things could bloom! Are they safe to throw in with my sulcatas greens?
