He was born June 2017. I don’t know how heavy he is or his exact links right now. I will have to try to get those measurements and then I’ll let you know. I have him on a little bit of a diet :-) he eats a variety of things. Right now I am doing a combination of Omni Gold and rhapsody blue...
He is adorable. I love mine northern blue tongue skink. His name isDobby. I took him outside the other day, probably the last time I’ll be able to this year.
I have an albino corn snake. And I am getting an albino hognose. I’ve read that UVB is beneficial to snakes but I have also heard that it should not be used with albino snakes because it can damage their eyes and skin. So I am interested to hear from other people and their views on this.
Right...
I have seen a lot of conflicting reports on Weather pothos are safe for tortoises. I can’t say that my Russian ate every bit of hers :-) no issues. The main thing is to make sure none of the plants have pesticides or fertilizers on them. You can also put in herb plants. The tortoises usually...
Where do you get the fine grade orchid bark? What brand is it? I’m always afraid to try stuff from places like Home Depot etc. because I don’t know if it is safe for reptiles.
Hello, welcome to the forum. Check out the species specific section for some ideas on enclosures. Your tortoise will outgrow this one soon enough but until then you need to add a whole bunch of humidity and make sure the heat stays at least 80°. Get rid of any pebbles that are small enough to be...
Hognose snakes are also active during the day. Even my little guy isn’t shy, I will see him out carousing around his enclosure. They have a ton of personality. I have been told that the females will sometimes be easier to feed than the males, my mail went on a food strike for about a month and...
Tom told me that dry lock did not work. It only lasted a year or so. I used pond armor for my indoor enclosure and it worked really well so far. And it comes in different colors. It’s not cheap but it works. Here’s a picture of part of the enclosure so you could get the idea. I like the sky blue...
Maybe they were trying to sell him too young. Maybe he hadn’t eaten well enough before you got him. Probably will never know. I have gotten my two snakes from a local pet shop, but I ordered them specifically because I know where they order them from. I did not have them shipped to my house...
Looks like it’s time for a much bigger enclosure. One with hills and peaks and valleys. A tortoise can rite themselves easier when the terrain isn’t completely flat also. And you want to make sure that there’s not stuff around so if he falls off of it he ends up right directly under the heat...
Your snake was very very young. I think that always makes it more difficult. And you may not really know where he came from or how he was started. Just like tortoises I think that makes a big difference. When you decide to get another snake maybe try a sub adult, one a little older. And...
