The plants are fake except for the aloe plant

Thank you. We were able to contain the chuckwallas by stapling the greenhouse cover to the enclosure but we just got tired of not being able to look in and clearly see what was going on without unzipping the doors.

I wanted to post an update to originally Dezzi's enclosure, I have since acquired 2 chuckwallas and they all live together now. Any who, one of the chucks was escaping the greenhouse cover I was using and it got to be a pain because you could never really see in very well. So we added a top...

Thank you for the replies. :)

Hi everyone, so I was spending time with Dezzi today (giving him a soak, weighing etc.) when I couldn't help but notice these strange swirly looking lines in his new growth rings on his shell. I haven't seen this before and wanted to check if it was normal or if maybe he has a deficiency of...

OH MY GOODNESS!!! They are all so beautiful! You are VERY lucky!!!

Thanks again for all the lovely comments and reassurance. :) It seems like Dezzi is growing spots over night these days.

Thank you everyone:)

Awesome, thanks Neil, that's great to hear. :)

Thank you!!! :D

Yikes! How sad... :( thank you for the info though.

So I have to say, Dezzi is growing like crazy. I am not sure if the growth rate is normal or if they go through spurts or not, I have had him a little over a month now and it seems every few days he'll gain a several grams. Here is the recorded weights for him: 8/22/2015: 45 grams (Length...

So pretty!!! :D

Why is this? Out of curiosity... :confused:o_O:rolleyes:

Thanks everyone for the tips and advise. I will definitely try smearing/mixing the soaked Mazuri with greens vs. feeding separately. With feeding Mazuri a few times a week I don't need to use raptical with D3 right? Or should I still have a day or two a week with that?

So I recently bought Mazuri for Dezzi to try because he wasn't freely eating the grassland tortoise food. He Loves it!!! He is right now 2.75" long and 69 grams and he was eating at least a whole nugget but today he was a real piggy and ate both nugguts that I put in there with his greens. He...

Well I am happy to report that Dezzi did okay while I was out of town. I kept an eye on him with the camera. He seemed to walk a lot throughout the enclosure, more than usual. Although it was much warmer in there from what he was used to. The spot right under the MVB usually reads 94-97, while I...

I am thinking about getting a plant light for Dezzi's enclosure to help the plants (oregano already died, aloe is still going strong). I have seen great reviews on LED plant lights but I was wondering if LEDs would be bad for torts?

Thank you for all the replies!
