    Hermans diet

    I've found that Tesco does a big Mediterranean leaf mix; mixed with some water cress my torts love it. Just soak the for 20-30mins before hand to get some/most of the chemicals off it. Costs about £3 and last 4-5 days if kept in the fridge.

    Hey Everybody!

    I picked the other one up shortly afterwards, they're so damn cute! I'm still learning and I get worried at the smallest things trying to get it right. Temperatures, habitat, diet and the worst is the poop... "Ah! a sticky poop!" or "Ah! a hard poop!" or "Ah! a white poop!" :p

So the CHE will keep they're central area at around 21ish during the night, if that sounds about right? Although funny enough we turned the thermostat in the main area down ever so...

    What, When, How and How Much?

    I'm keeping the warm side at 30-35 on a dimming thermostat, with shade nearby and a fennstone. Cold side is always above 21. There is plenty of space in between for different climates.
