But it is very necessary to have spare enclosures close by just in case. I prefer a 50 gallon Rubbermaid with a singular light fixture on on side. This will have the appropriate gradient, and if needed a lid with holes can be used to keep humidity consistent.
Well that's what I've read, but I do know a fair amount about Hingebacks from lots and lots of research. They are a hiding species. They prefer low light levels, and dark, damp spaces. I've read that you can put 2 in 8 square feet, which translates directly to 4 in 16 square feet, but I find...
Unfortunately the most I have room for is 4/7 because I'm a teenager with only my room to work with. During the summer I'll be experimenting with a misted greenhouse to see if I can keep constant humidity, and they require moderately high temperatures so I should be able to maintain that. I live...
Hey everyone, hope you're having a good holiday.
I'm building a new enclosure, and I need it to be waterproof, but it will be made of wood. Does anyone know what type of wood I should use? Are they all safe? And I need to waterproof it, but treated wood seems very dangerous. (Correct me if I'm...
Nonetheless I appreciate your information. In the warm months I'll be doing some tests with a greenhouse to see if I can house my animals outside, so I will, in a way, be using that technique.
Well my enclosure is contained, but you need circulation in an area that's so damp to prevent mold growth, and respiratory problems. Therefore, I will be installing PC fans at either end, one which is "blowing" the air, and one which is "sucking" the air. Additionally, I am also quite interested...
I'm sorry I know this isn't lights but it's the only forum section that seemed to fit the topic. Does anyone know of any misting and fogging systems that can be hooked up to something like a herpstat? I'm seeing a lot of good items, but I need something that's triggered by humidity levels rather...
Hopefully either Homes or Forest Hingebacks. It is important to keep a low count of males, and a higher amount of females to lessen stress on the females and avoid too much male confrontation. I will be doing a ratio of probably 4-6 females, and 2 males. They are a hiding species, so the males...
This is made for aquariums mainly, so I assume it's fine. But that would be interesting to find out. They can change colors as well. They're extremely cool in my opinion, and I'll be raising hatchlings in a 25 square foot enclosure, but I plan on using its functions as a breeding trigger with...
Very cool. Yeah it's always quite hard to find a good way to add light but not heat as the tortoises need a solid gradient. The ones I'm looking at have settings that make them quite attractive for a display tank such as a sunrise setting, cloud cover, night, and storms. I'm thinking about...
Yeah I'd have a different enclosure of each species/subspecies. The enclosure is very large, so the most I'd do is 8 in the enclosure I think, 6 females and 2 males probably. I'd have to see how they interact within the enclosure to get a good interpretation of how many I can keep. Homes...
I'm looking for hatchlings, and I won't buy them all at first, but I will be getting 8 or more. I plan on doing a lot of work with the Hingebacks, as many as I can acquire at least.
