Hey guys, Just wanted to share my new custom enclosure I purchased from professional located near me. PVC is definitely more expensive than Plywood which I know most of you recommend but I really wanted to have a sleek design that is a lot lighter than the tank I had previously. Before this...

Alright I will have to take a look at it when I go by one day. I am considering buying from an online source such as Animal Plastic and the prices are fairly good however, the shipping is another few hundred dollars which is why I still havent comitted to it yet. Would you recommend I do that...

Awesome, thank you for the reply! very excited to start this build. thank you for clarifying that for me. I have been in contact with several different plastic companies around me all have fluctuating prices for the PVC. to buy enough material they are asking for close to $500. if you dont mind...

Looks awesome, I am trying to do something similar only bigger. Im sending in a quote to the local plastic shops. Im hoping to make a 5'x3' enclosure. quick question, what is the 33 7/8 dimension would that change for a larger setup? its probably something simple but I do not projects like...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to see what everyone uses to decorate their enclosures? Mine is looking very bare at the moment and I wanted to spice it for my little guy. Love to hear everyone's input:)

I like the pill bug idea a lot I'm gonna try to find some from outside, unfortunately I am not fond of spiders so I think I'm gonna have to pass on that idea haha

I'm gonna go with your advice, do you mean change the type of substrate I am using or just get some new dirt?

Hello everybody, In the past few months my red foot enclosure has become a breeding ground for all sorts of little bugs. I know most do not harm the tortoise but I still would like to get rid of some so it's not so infested. I'd say my biggest problem would be fruit flies, I've attempted to get...

Thanks everyone. Has anyone had outbreaks of fruit flies before? I guess they are breeding in my enclosure I see them everywhere. I'm trying vinegar and dish soap and have gotten a few so far

Hey guys, So I added a new organic garden soil to my indoor tortoise enclosure and it seems to be growing mushrooms. Any experience this? Don't really like how they look in the enclosure can anyone tell me how to get rid of them? Thanks'!

Thanks:) I actually got it from Squirtle from Pokemon! Haha

Here's two pics of squirt. One is him next to his food bowl. I tried smearing Mazuri onto romaine so he'll actually eat the romaine. However he still is able to pick the Mazuri off of it. As for the repti bark...I've always used it and I've never seen my tortoise eating it before but that's just...

Could I just add that soil to the top of the other substrate I have now? I know red foots have issues with shell rot but if that's the best option I will definitely go with it. All I have right now is about 1/2 inch of coco coir and then bark on top. I have a CHE running 24/7 I read some posts...

I will keep that in mind. I use a hygrometer to measure the humidity and temp

Just cleaned so a little plain.

Hey guys I have a question that's been bothering me for awhile. My red foot tortoise is 8 months old now. Weighs about 132 oz which seems a little small to me. I try to feed him everyday but he only eats every other usually. His diet consists of lots of greens such as romaine, collard greens...

I will do my best, do you think the brown at the belly button area is just a mark from birth?

The top layer is dry. However, he always seems to be digging down towards the damp area. I figured keeping him more dry during the treatment would be better so I stopped adding water to the substrate and just sprayed down the enclosure walls. Just added water to the corners and he runs over to...

I apologize I was very brief with my explanation. He's a red footed tortoise. About 9 months has always had weird brown spots around where his belly button would be and some spots of white which I thought was the shell rot. Here's a picture. I'm too afraid to poke at the crease because I don't...

So I made a post earlier about a possibility of him have shell rot...I used betadine, then antiseptic with clortrimazole. About a week an a half or two with no improvement I contacted the breeder and he recommended neosporin so I bought the Walgreens brand, followed by keeping him in a...
