Hi everyone, got a question here.
I know that there are people here who's torts that poo everyday. And there are some just a few times each week. I do not soak my tort at all, as I leave a water dish for him to get in and out of.
My 5" radiated tort seems to hold it in. Fed mainly of...

Hello everyone.. My tortoise Poopoo trained himself!
I provide an enclosure with 85% soil/compost and 15% Fir bark for my Elebaba. Previously I used newspapers and reptile carpet and he would just poop all over as he pleases.
Now, I've separated the soil/compost and fir bark in the...
I know how important UVB is for tortoises. Most experiments and emphasis are based on UVB from the sun or from bulbs and the amounts emitted. But what about UVA?
I've been looking around but there's not much written stuff about the recommended amounts for UVA. Apart from it being a necessity...
Hello everyone, I couldn't find cypress mulch, so I went for the next best thing available... Orchid bark.. Unfortunately, I seem to have bought the bark in rather big chunks. Doh!
Elebaba being real cautious...
My radiated tortoise weighed 461g in the morning, was fed couple pellets of soaked mazuri.
Then, several hours later in the afternoon, it started drinking ALOT of water, it's as though he ran a marathon. I took his weight out of curiosity and it was 495g!
Is this normal? Thats Nearly a 10%...

Hello everyone, what are the best substrates for radiated tortoises? Its for an indoor enclosure.

Many thanks~

Whats the temperature at the basking spot?
Mine spends time under the lamp after its done eating and when the light comes on in the morning. Temp is at 32-35 degrees celsius. Once its...
Hi everyone, got a question regarding the Mega-Ray EB 60 watt 220-240 Volt Flood UVB Lamp Kit.
I understand that the external ballast is required to power the bulb. What I'm confused about is, how should i connect/rig this up?
With SB bulbs, bulb + lamp fixture + electricity is all u need...
Hi everyone, just a few days back, I noticed that my year old star tortoise had some Air-pocket-like hindquarters. I can't find much info about this. I've had him for 3 weeks, he does have RNS (doesnt seem to be getting any better even though he's putting on weight), and he's due for his 2nd...
