    Air Dry Clay?

    My Redfoot, Fuego, is starting to get bigger and has unfortunately gotten some pyramiding a few months ago. He’s getting too big for his hide now. I’ve placed the hide some slate stones for him to give some extra space but he loves to climb on it for basking! I love that he climbs but it’s...

    Hello! I was wondering if my tort could have a ceramic hide? It’s a Halloween themed ceramic holder and quite large to fit a tort (though mine is a hatchling tort anyway) I was just wanting to ask before I used it if it would be safe. I know the heat lamps get very hot, like they should, and...
