Hi everyone, Last night I went to Liberty Science Center's After Dark event. It's held every first and third Thursday of the month from 6PM to 10PM. My coworkers and I were having a blast when we stumbled on the tortoise exhibit. I took some photos. It appears to be way too small for the...

Around 2 months ago I placed some big rocks in the middle of my enclosure. The original intention was to provide a way for my Cherryheads nails to trim down naturally since they seemed to be getting rather long. The rocks have worked excellent. Putting a CHE well above the rocks is a great way...

Hello everyone, I'm a new owner of a 3inch Cherryhead. I've got an enclosure that is 6 feet by 2 feet by 12 inches tall. I have two incandescent 100W incandescent bulbs lighting and heating during the day. I have two CHEs for night. This keeps the enclosure at 79 - 83 Degrees in all areas both...
