    Are there reliably good MVBs, or must I seek out the least of several evils?

    Well, you are in the minority with your current happiness over a MegaRay product. Many people are not getting what they paid for. The replacement bulb that I finally received after months of trying to contact the company blew in less than 2 months. I would not recommend MegaRay to anyone in...

    Cheated by Megaray?

    I heard about MegaRay on this website. Supposedly the best light available. In other words I did my homework, but things have changed. Hopefully people are doing their own homework and can see that ordering from MegaRay is very risky. You may or may not get your bulb. The bulb may or...

    New Solar Raptor/MegaRay

    Well I started using my replacement bulb right before Thanksgiving. It burnt out yesterday. That's a little over two months of use. What junk! I won't even contact Mega Ray as I don't need the hassle. I recommend anyone researching light bulbs look at other products and another supplier.

    New Solar Raptor/MegaRay

    I just received my replacement 100W bulb from Mega Ray today. It only took several months, 5 or 6 unreturned phone calls and lots of e-mails. I will NEVER do business with them again. I don't need the hassle when there are other companies that would appreciate my money. I don't care how good...

    New Solar Raptor/MegaRay

    And another thing...looking at the long winded write-up above (and on their website) it seems like Reptile UV has had nothing but problems with their products from day one. Combine this with their poor customer service and lack of human resources they seem like a disaster. I'm sure that some...

    New Solar Raptor/MegaRay

    Boo Hoo. Refund peoples' money if you cannot deliver a product. Don't take orders if you cannot deliver. Be honest up front. Don't say you will return a phone call or e-mail in 24 hours if you cannot. Stop telling everyone it will just be another few weeks. They might have had the best...

    New Solar Raptor/MegaRay

    My raptor bulb blew out within a couple weeks. Per e-mail from Reptile UV I was supposed to get a new one in 3-4 weeks. Been somewhat longer. No more replies to my last 3 e-mails and two phone calls. Starting to smell a scam.

    How often should I let my tortoise out of his enclosure and is it necessary?

    I have a baby leopard. I have an inside table that is 2x4 foot. I suppose he'd be OK there 24/7. However, I take him outside every day for several hours. He has a 3x6 foot pen that is covered by wire mesh and sits right on the ground. He really comes to life outside plus gets the benefit of...

    Pics of Baby Leopard

    Shooting for smooth growth. I think he's about 6 months old.

    Sunlight

    The humidity averages around 50%. I soak down his outside enclosure before he goes out and then repeat as I see it drying. I also mist him at least 1x per hour when I check on him. I soak him before he goes out and then when he comes in. Like I said, even when he's inside he normally likes...

    Sunlight

    He's got shade, but really seems to enjoy hot weather. It's usually at least 100 in the afternoons here and he seldom uses the shadiest spots in his outdoor enclosure. I check on him 1x an hour when he's outside and mist his shell. When he's inside, he is mostly under his basking lamp with a...

    Sunlight

    How many hours of natural sunlight do you think are needed for a baby Leopard tortoise? Mine gets between 6 and 8 each day now.

    How the Leopards change their spots

    She's a very nice looking tortoise. How did you get her so smooth?

    Excellent Leo video must see

    That is what I was thinking. It is basically a video of a tortoise trying to get away from a toddler.

    Hog Island Boa Cage Size

    I am thinking about a Hog Island Boa. I'm new to snakes and looking at Boaphile Plastics cages (or something similar). I'm not sure the best size to get though. I'm thinking 4x2 floor space should be fine for an adult, but how tall should it be. I see some people go with only 12 inches. Is...

    thinking about a leopard

    If I were doing it over I'd try Richard Fife at Ivorytortoise.com. He's raising them in a manner to prevent pyramiding. The correct right start many help a lot.

    Too many sulcata in NY

    I'm not trying to take this off topic...but how do we know being hounded by a male and laying eggs is unhealthy? It seems it's the natural thing.

    thinking about a leopard

    Pros: They don't dig, people say you can keep several together without problems, good size for me (not too small and not a giant), easy to feed. Cons: They seem more prone to pyramiding (but this is being worked), not as outgoing as some of the other tortoises. Hatchlings seem a bit fragile.
