Wow, a lot of great information I had not heard of from the people I was taught. Will be making all necessary updates tomorrow. Do you know by chance of the base (looks like wood) of the enclosures on the thread was hand-built or store-bought? I can not tell.
Will get the biggest I can, this will be for an indoor enclosure with the pop-up greenhouse. Also, I see the flood bulb you mentioned, would 100 watts be sufficient? It is by Arcadia, any idea how to set up the long UVB bulb? I notice the floodlight does not emit UVA, would I need another bulb...
I dont know if my other reply posted but would these be enough? I can make the changes tomorrow morning, including getting a thermometer and gun. Also how would i attach the tube bulb in the current enclosure? Would i just put a top on it? Or do i need a whole new enclosure.
1. fluorescent UVB
2. flood bulb
3. ceramic emitter
I have attached files of all three, how would I set up the long bulb in its current state as it is 36 inches long the bulb is 22"? Closed chamber? Would that mean just putting any kind of top on? As I have mentioned I care about it and can...
I have the slightest idea unfortunately on temperature I would say the overall temp high 80s mid 90s basking right underneath the bulb at the higher end. I don't have a thermometer to check temperature or humidity but I do spray multiple times a day. I have attached the bulbs I use. I use...
When I first noticed it struggling with the massive stone I did see something else and the other person with me assumed that but there were never any bodily fluids or anything close to that so I assumed dead skin or urate.
36x18x16 is the size of the enclosure tank. The grocery I go to does not carry escarole or endive but I seriously do not mind having to drive a reasonable distance if that is what is needed. I will try other surrounding stores to check for the rest. So no hay or grass? I have always fed the...
Thank you for responding, I do appreciate it. I do soak them every day for 30-60 minutes two times to be exact and soak their pellets in water before feeding. Active tortoise. I stopped giving cucumber because I read it had no nutritional value but did not take into account that it helps with...
Yes, which has got me stumped. I spray the enclosure multiple times a day and give two 30 - 60 minute bathes every day. The diet is grassland pellets that are soaked to be made soft with buk choy and collard greens every so often. Again, thank you for responding I really do care for it.
I wanted to confirm if this was a prolapse. My tortoise passed a urate stone about a month ago fairly small, then today had one way too big to pass after a long soak with warm water and oil mix we were able to squeeze it out from the back. Wanting to have some other opinions before I try to push...
