Hi all. Thanks Tom for the clear answer. I will check our local garden shops, I was just afraid if they will have some that is fertiliser free (live in Czech Republic). I do use orchid bark which I just put as the top layer though, but I buy it from pet stores here and it's really expensive. I...

Hello, thx for your reply, but the thing is my oven is tiny and it would take me a month to divide the soil into little bags and put it in there individually... that's why I was asking for a tip when you have a big amount of it. And yes, I buy only free additive soil etc.

Hi all, we have a new huge indoor enclosure for a leopard tortoise that we will fill with over 400l of soil and bark. I would like to sterilise the soil but don't know how with such a huge amount. Do you have any tips? Many thanks!

Thank you all for your nice words!! Bob seems very happy in there. The humidity is 80-90% and it is hot and steamy when you open it. Under the CHE its usually 35-38 degrees celsius.

Hi guys, this is Bobbys new enclosure. What do you think? Thank you for any comments!

Hi guys, I have a leopard hatchling (about one year) that was raised in very dry conditions, therefore he started pyramiding. I have been raising him in the last 3 months when I got him in hot & humid conditions, like Toms care sheet and all you guys say. I am sending pics of my Bob and...

Hi guys! Thank you all so much for your replies, thanks to you my little tortoise is very happy now! I have closed the enclosure and so both temperature and humidity are ideal. Little Bob is now active and eating well. He still sleeps a lot but hopefully thats fine. I have another question- i...

Hi guys, I come from the Czech Republic and have a baby leopard tortoise for the last 3 months. I bought him in a pet shop, and he is about 10 months. His photo and the photo of the terrarium is enclosed. The first month was ok, he was active, eating, but very shy and when he saw us he...
