    New tortoise owner, accident on the first night really want to do everything right

    Haha - I thought I was even more confused and had the wrong tortoise. The light in the back left (if I'm looking at the pic) is the 100 watt che set on a thermostadt of 85, then back right is the 100w powersun. Both are 10" from above the substrate. The che sits above his humid hide and there's...

    New tortoise owner, accident on the first night really want to do everything right

    Here are pics of him and the cage - please let me know if I need to make any changes. I keep his cage warm with the foil over the top and I keep it at the consistent temp with the che and the powersun in the day. The cage was only open because he came out and we gave him his evening soak in the...

    Thanks so much! My temps have been stable for two nights and I was able to find a great home with my friend for one of the babies and they are both doing much better. My little guy was the picked on one who flipped and he's still extremely shy and pretty much sticking to his hide and sleeping a...

    SUGGESTION for Setting Up a Baby Habitat

    Thanks so much! I honestly thought about posting a new post but I didn't want to be disrespectful to the who took the time to send me a note already. It was just a very different setup. There seems to be a lot of different ways to do it and some people have the hides in the warm wet area, some...

    SUGGESTION for Setting Up a Baby Habitat

    Hello, I've set everything up but I'm still a little confused on exactly where the lights go. I see that your basking light is pretty much in the middle of your tank. I have mine in one far corner and then a che in the other corner (both on the back side corners of the tank). I put the humid...

    New tortoise owner, accident on the first night really want to do everything right

    Thank you for everyone's help! I said I would take pics today but it wasn't such a good day. Now they are in separate enclosures, warm, hopefully all set up and they'll be doing better and back to normal tomorrow and I can take pics.

    New tortoise owner, accident on the first night really want to do everything right

    I'll post pics tomorrow am thank you. I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to get the more dominant one a place to sleep. It didn't matter where the mellow one went, inside the hide or outside he followed and kept climbing on him and kind of nudging at him and I have if that's been happening...

    New tortoise owner, accident on the first night really want to do everything right

    Oh thank you so much for the pics and specifics, I will get what you specified tomorrow. I was able to borrow a friends extra moonlight reptile 100 watt bulb for this evening, I made a smaller house with the hole cut out of the plastic box inside their enclosure as suggested and I put in super...
