Thank you all :) My little tort seems to be doing just fine, gets a warm bath in the am and goes poo, then eats a variety of romain, turnip greens, kelp and mustard greens. Got him a heat rock for at night and just got to hook up the MH light for him. Temps are around 106F under the hottest area...
I havent' checked yet but they seems to be plenty warm, it warm on one side where he has a dry rock to dry out on and a water spot in the center which is mid warm and then a cooler area out from under the light. I have very accurate temp measuring equipment so ill do that to be sure.
i think...
Thank you all very much, i've been reading a lot here about caring for my tort. One thing i noticed is he seems to move his head up and down for breathing? not all the time but is that normal? I've never taken care of such a young tortoise before so i don't know what's normal for them.
Hi all I just got a baby african leopard and am super excited about him/her.
My family has had them for years as pets so i'm somewhat familiar with their care but joined to learn as much as i can about them so i can really take care of him. I'm calling him a boy even though i don't know...
