It's like a unit you connect to both sides of a linear UVB light and use just like a normal light on/off cord, so I can connect them to the linear UVB light, fasten the lights to my reflectors and treat the reflectors as my fixture. I hadn't heard of it either until the guy at the pet store...
My mom asked a good friend of hers if he could help us build the enclosure I drew for my red foot tortoise and he worked on it with a friend of his on their spare time and they REALLY pulled through!! Originally my sister and I would build it... imagine how that would turn out with no experience...
I'm planning to hopefully build a new enclosure for my 2 year old red foot but with 0 experience in building anything, 0 knowledge about wood and 0 knowledge about insulation I wanted to take some precautions and ask if there are any possible mistakes to avoid making my first enclosure and any...
I’ve heard people that eat a lot of kale (which is high in goitrogens and prevent the thyroids uptake of iodine) eat seaweed which is high in iodine to prevent hypothyroidism, I’m wondering myself if I should start feeding seaweed so I can feed kale without worrying lol
I currently have my small red foot tortoise in an exo terra large wide (36x18) but was thinking of switching it out with the large tall, it would still be 36" long but taller so that I could maybe plant some stuff and hang the mvb lamp and CHE inside of the tank by a chain so it wouldn't have to...
TL;DR wanting to change my setup to something naturalistic, wondering about living peat moss as a bedding. Would it be too wet?
My juvenile red foot Clyde is currently living in a 90x45x30 cm which is now only a layer of paper towels, an MVB basking light, a CHE and a dry hide with papertowels...
There’s been an accumulation of insects in my RF’s enclosure lately, not sure what they are but some people tell me to keep them because they’re beneficial... Is this true?
(I had some videos of them but the files are too big, ugh)
I’m not sure about his age because the breeder didn’t know either, but he weighs around 86g, he’s pretty young and I’ve had him for about a year now I think? His enclosure isn’t as big as it should be at the moment but he does have some pretty good space. Humidity is kept at 70-80%, temps at 25C...
My red foot tortoise has suddenly become very restless and keeps pressing his nose against the glass, trying to get out. I’ve never had this issue before and covering the glass didn’t help.
I have the flu at the moment and it’s just exhausting hearing him pace back and forth against the glass...
