    Urgent! (type of bulb)

    I have an exotic vet that recommends th self ballasted Mercury Vapor UVB bulbs by days and the black CHE by night. It's been working great for me. Although my little ones are fortunate to be able to spend their days in the sunshine almost year round since I live I the valley of the sun.

    My 2014 South African Leos Growth Charts

    Thank you for sharing this. I have two leopards myself that are now 16 and 19 months old. They are growing at similar rates but are still closer to Tiny II's size. This at least makes me feel better knowing it can vary and still be normal. I have a few Sulcatas and boy do they grow at much...

    Looking for the BEST Heating pad for sulcata? Opinions?..

    I use a "Hound heater" purchased off Amazon. It's mounted on the wall of a wooden dog house that was made of my 40+lb 8 year old tortoise. I then attached vinyl flaps at the entry to help keep the heat in. The Hound Heater has two settings, low and high, it's works beautifully here in the...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    I value your opinion. Although I'm positive this vet, Dr. Todd Driggers is very knowledgeable in herpitology. He is considered the best reptile vet in AZ. I know he personally has several of various types of tortoises himself. Including Leopards and Sulcatas which is what I have. Some are very...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    Update: Okay so little Ginger was taken to the exotic vet yesterday. She was given a clean bill of health! Summary: if given a choice this little one will choose the "spring mix" lettuces over any grasses, Mazuri hay pellets etc. the Dr. Said that the various lettuces contain too much proteins...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    So do you think the 3' UVB/UVB light isn't enough, or as good of quality? I realize it doesn't emit heat, my thinking was it disperses in a larger area since the tank is 4' long. I will make some adjustments to the heat sources. I wish there was a way to have them installed inside the tank...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    The basking lamp is ceramic, I keep it on 24-7. The paper is wrapped around because the little critter was kinda going crazy trying to dig or climb the glass. The paper limits it some. I may reduce the height so I can see in more. I keep the heat mat on the opposite end of the heat lamp. Which...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    Thank you Neal for your input and insight. I agree the permyding is of concern too. I do use a temp gun, the mid 80s is the ambient temps inside a tank measuring 16"x48" the screen on top holds the 3' UV light and a ceramic heat bulb is on the opposite side from the under tank, heating a top...

    Plastron growth is concerning on Leopard Hatchling

    Yes, I've read everything I can get my hands on. This little one showed up on my doorstep with a note, so it kind of threw me into the leopard learning mode. I have a sulcata that's about 6 years old and a sulcata hatchling....no problems there at all. This little one has become my favorite, yet...
