    Buster's vet visit.

    At my local grocery store I can buy fresh dandelion, watercress, fenugreek greens, opuntia pads and chopped nopalitos, radicchio, leafy and Belgian endive, flat and curly escarole; and, if I wanted, about a dozen different brassicas, plus many different types of "exotic" fruits and...

    Fire injured tortoise is built a 3D printed shell by vets and 3d artist.

    There are *many* different materials that fall under the catch-all term "plastic". I have silicone cookware that's good up to something like 400 F. I read an article about this a couple months ago and so don't remember if it said precisely what was used for the shell, but if they were working...

    Fluorescent bulb for AP cage

    Unless you've ordered extra insulation the insulation properties of AP enclosures come from the material they're made of - 1/2" thick controlled-density PVC. But they do hold heat/humidity well. We went with white for our two stacks for the snakes, as we didn't want an 8-ft by 7-ft wall of...

    Tortoise Room/Enclosure Brain Storming Session

    If you want to grow shorter plants, you could do it on some of the shelves - just add LED lights on the under sides of the next shelves up.

    Best CHE and dimmer/thermostat?

    Coming to tortoises from snakes, my favorite thermostats are Herpstats, by Spyder Robotics (spyderrobotics.com). We have Herpstat 2s and 4s in the house, and were drooling when the 6 came out (number refers to the number of outputs). Second-favorite are the Vivarium Electronics thermostats, from...

    Animal Plastics discount?

    AP will do custom work - my son had an enclosure for his skink built to sit on a particular set of shelving. Call and see if they can do it, Ali is super-nice. NAYY, just a happy customer (8 AP cages in the house, at least 4 to go)

    No problem, I spent quite a while at PetWhatsit reading labels trying to figure out which substrate contained what when I first went looking for coco coir for my blood python.

    Eco-earth *is* coco coir. Are you thinking of one of the other name-brand substrates that's mixed stuff? I started reading care sheets and threads here before joining, but thanks for the pointers!

    Good afternoon, Call me Prognathodon, the prehistoric marine reptile with big nasty point teeth. Which I mostly don't use. I'm old enough to know better - i.e.: my son is a responsible young adult. Besides the humans, the household consists of snakes, lots of snakes, a blue-tongued skink, dogs...
