This is Bing. He will be eight in August. He’s probably a little over 10 lbs. His foot was down on the ground when trying to weigh him. He’s not quite 12 inches. Just curious as to thoughts on if he’s small for his age? He’s been a hard keeper. My sulcata is totally smooth but this guy was hard...

I have a 5 yo female sulcata and a 4 yo male leopard. Thinking about adding an iguana to our family. But don't know enough about them. Anyone had them a long time and can tell me pros and cons, diet, and especially habitat? Also do they have personality to make a decent pet? I know they aren't...

haven't been on here in a long time. Partly cause laptop died and so now only have a nook to use for internet. Anyhow this is an update on bing crosby, my male leo. He will be 3 in october. I raised him identical to my 4 year old sulcata who has an almost perfect shell and is huge. But bings...

we have our night box finished outdoors, but i'm struggling with low humidity in there. like 19-20%. i realize it's outdoors and my torts 3 years old, so i'm not concerned about getting high humidity, but that oil heater is really drying it out and the hay in the box is really brittle. it's...

finally got our night box finished. plugged in the mini oil filled heater into a thermostat, set it on 85 and can't get it over 70 degrees today and that's up towards the top of the box. the floor is only 50. high today outside was probably 45. we are having a 2 day extreme cold snap. (my...

Anyone ever go to the St. Louis repticon event? Its rare there's anything like this close to me, and wondering if its worth my time n money to go. (About a 2 hr drive one way and entry for 2 people.)

bing turned 2 this month. i had a birthday this month too, but you'd have to add 43 years to his age. lol he's not in as good of shape shell-wise as my sulcata. i've fought with that ever since i got him. have kept the closed chamber humid, etc., but he's just pyramided regardless. he's...

i'm working on my outside night box for my sullie. i bought an optimus portable oil filled radiator heater. it saw it uses max 700w. i won't need it on high though, cause my box is really insulated well. i also bought a thermostat from zoo med called reptitemp 500r. but it says it's only...

getting my outdoor night box finished up this week to finally leave my 3 yo sullie outdoors overnight. she's out in the day time, but i'm still bringing her in at night. outdoor daytime temps are 60s-75 right now. outdoor night temps now are anywhere from 35 up to 55, but will get well below...

The insulated house isn't finished yet, so I still bring Lois indoors at night, but this is her new outdoor enclosure. It will be finished by next week I hope. She really likes the barrel hide. We left the bottom in it so she can't burrow under.

have just moved my 3 year old sulcata outdoors full-time. when out there she self-soaks in a big pan in her enclosure. but, i'm wondering about what to do about soaking her this winter? i'm just guessing right now that she's probably 22+ lbs. and about 17-18". it's been a couple months since...

just getting started on a new outdoor pen for my sulcata. i know it's too small, but we will expand it next year. for now, we are just getting her used to being outside. we still have to add the inside barrier so she can't see out and we have plans for a heated house that we will put along...

today i saw a you tube video showing a sulcata eating carrot sticks, corn on the cob and the husks. hadn't ever thought of feeding my tort the husks or corn on the cob. is that okay to do occasionally? i just went through my garden the other day and took all the "tillers" off of my corn...

my husband is getting ready to start making an outdoor enclosure for my sully. she will be 3 y.o. in august. she is around 15" and about 18 lbs. pen will be 16' square. my husband wants to use hog panels for the sides (we are in a farming community, so everything he thinks is pretty farming...

bing, after eating squash. got a little on both sides of his nose.

summer has finally arrived. lois is ready for a little outdoor time.

i live in missouri and my tort has been inside all winter. i am gradually taking her outside now a little each day to get some sun and eat grass now that it's growing in the yard. we have a large wooden/wire cage outdoors where we can keep her penned in. we are always outside with her while...

Lois picks all the Mazuri off her plate and eats it first. She ate 2 heads of lettuce yesterday. I can't wait for winter to be over so the grass is green and grocery store greens aren't needed as much. this is bing, chowing on his mazuri too.

my one year old leo flashed this morning while he was in his bath having a bowel movement. he did it several times while he was going. at least, i'm assuming that's what it was. he's only 1. didn't know they could do that this early. at first, i thought he was prolapsing, but then decided...

i have this feeling that louis is probably a lois. 2 years old now. the only reason i'm asking again is because my 1 year old leopard flashed me today. it was quite a shock. lol i certainly wasn't prepared to see that from a 1 year old. he did it when he was in his bath and he was poopin...
