Hi All, I just built a new closed chamber and just want to check my temps. Ambient is 86, cool side is 83 and under the MVB is 100. Temps seem good to me, I just didn't know if the ambient should be higher?

Hi All, Spike, Spicy, Catchy, (I have three small kids and they each gave our tortoise its own name) is one of @Jodie's babies from 2016. It is just over a year old and weighs 359 grams. I am just checking to make sure all looks well and that we are on the right track?

Hey Everyone, I put my leopard tortoise outside in an old chicken tractor 4-5 times a week for several hours at a time. It is a very young tortoise, so all it really does is buries it self in grass completely out of site. I provide plenty of shade so that it does not overheat, but there are...
