    A Word on Humidity Gauges for my fellow Newbs

    I just picked these up from my local Wal-Mart. There were only around $6 and seem to be working pretty well. I have put them under different heat/humidity tests and they both seem to put out the same numbers. The pictures are after they have been sitting in my kitchen for around 48 hours...

    Hybrids?

    Would this be an example of a hybrid? http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=50&de=812634# You can see the speckling on the skin and small signs of multiple spots on the scutes. These are from Richard Fife. Also on the topic, does mating a Gpp and Gpb together bring any discredit...

    Are Cosmos toxic/safe???

    Thank you very much for the info, I had taken everything out of the box to prepare it for a tortoise, but these guys keep on popping back up. I wanted to make sure in case any stragglers find there way back over time. I'm getting ready to plant some clover, chia, dandelion, and will probably...

    Are Cosmos toxic/safe???

    I have a 4X4 above ground planter that I was planning on making into an outside enclosure for sunning for my soon to be leopard, but have a question I have been unsuccessful at answering through my own research. I have common Cosmos growing in it and can't seem to find them on any edible/not...

    Is this the orchid bark everyone rants about???

    Thanks everyone for the rants or the raves, which ever it is. I will have to pick some of this up once I fill my table with substrate. I think I will use a mix of this, peat moss, and fine chipped EarthGro mulch from Home Depot. They also have sphagnum moss that I will use for the humid hide...

    Jacqui I will take some pics of the light house in the AM so you can see how it will be set up. The white table was my original table I was building for a leopard, but when I saw this wood out for free I figured I would build something a little smaller to start the tort out in. I may build a...

    Building First Tort Table

    Thanks for the reply Yvonne, my neighbor said that it was oak, but I'm not 100% on ID'ing wood. I will be putting a plastic barrier in there before the substrate goes down, I will have to ask him if he had the wood stained or not. The housing is for the light fixture, I'm not a big fan of...

    Building First Tort Table

    Lets try these pics again (building first enclosure) Hopefully these photos will be a bit easier on the eyes...let me know what you guys think. The white table is another that I am working on, I guess it's easy to start the projects when the wood is free.

    Building First Tort Table

    This is my first go at building a tort table, so constructive criticism is welcome. This table is built out of 100% recycled wood I got from my neighbor! It measures just over 3 feet long by just over 2 feet wide and has 8 inch sides. I do not have a tort to take over the property just yet...
