I knew/know nothing. Was researching for my first tortoise and saw his uTube on the species I was researching. Watched the first 3 minutes and turned it off. He very obviously wasn't the experienced source of knowledge I was looking for. Neither are most of the posts that come up on an...

He looks so much better and his eyes are brighter! The poor thing. He was obviously horribly treated and neglected. I think he hates people, not you. Who could blame him? I think they are intelligent and he will see that yes you are handling him but his life gets a little better each time...

Good luck!

Poor boy. Must have trouble breathing while eating. No wonder he was aggressive. Time to make him weed smoothies? I don't know that they are subspecies or if the pet trade animals just got smaller and rounder in captivity. If you do a search, there is info out there.

His head looks like the description they give of the "true Amazon Basin" yellow foot as opposed to a "regular" yellow foot.

Congratulations and thank heavens you rescued him. He looks beautiful to me.

The only thing I can find locally in a UVB 5.0 is the Reptisun 5.0 UVB 13 Watt mini compact fluorescent. It isn't the spiral but it is awfully bright. The only fluorescent tube I can order on line from Amazon.ca is a UVB 3% and that will take weeks to get here. I did buy a small hostas that...

I had a yard that was half fire ant hill because there were a lot of fruit trees. I used the "erupting volcano" recipe from the kids science fairs. Sprinkle the ant hill liberally with baking soda and then pour concentrated white vinegar (from Home Depot, etc not food grade) on it. The...

Healthy, friendly and brave yellow foot baby! Stretched his neck out to touch noses this morning. Arrived two and a half days ago. Not great with the one handed photo focus yet...lol

Thank you! Brave and friendly too!

Thank you! He is very out going and brave too!

Thank you! Little sweetie, ate big then out like a light. Doing so well after such a hard day being shipped 3000 miles.

Hi! I am home! Active, drinking, bathed, and eating. (Just changed the bulb, temp is coming up)

It would need a closed bottom or the water just runs into the substrate but I would think anything that wouldn't melt or off gas that had a bottom would work. That one is bamboo 6"

Would what work with PVC pipe?

Will do!

Thank you! I am so excited, just bouncing...lol.

Thank you!

Do I need to get a hood?

I thought it was too bright and too hot too, so I knocked it down to a 75W because I thought they needed it for D3 production. The large dome is a CHE that is on at night. Do you have a pic or a UVB Tube?
