    running fast asf with mouth open??

    about 2 inches, its a hatchling. its my leisure area of my apartment complex, so i cant really be giving him a large area for outside sun unfortunately. the sun exposure is hopefully rather temporary before i can get him a proper 10 uvb tube.

    running fast asf with mouth open??

    Jesus man! its all my fault. I just took him into a 50x50 box just for a short period of time so he can get some UVB. I should look into making him a hiding spot then.

    About tortoise tables and humidity

    Yeah, my bedroom is just super humid. Worth the sacrifice for my torty. I use a humidifier and I dampen his soil almost thrice daily. I have eczema so I have overall benefited from the increase in humidity.

    About tortoise tables and humidity

    Hello! For context I own a baby hermann's tortoise, and I constantly hear that tortoise tables are inferior as they are unable to maintain proper humidity or temperatures.

    help! caring for a baby hermann tortoise and all i feed it is lettuce :(

    the care guide said it was unnecessary so long as he was getting adequate sun exposure outside, i do have a UVB light though but the bulb was burnt first try and i now need to purchase a new one, but i am finding that unnecessary so long as it gets sun.
