indoor enclosure

Hello, I'm researching/preparing to get my first Hermann's Tortoise. I'm looking for advice on an indoor enclosure. After doing much research, I'd like to go with the closed chamber/high humidity at least for the first year or so. I really want something that is aesthetically pleasing, as it...

Hi I was trying to get some advice on making a bioactive setup for my Russian tortoise. I've done a little research but I figured there might be some experts here that could provide good advice. So really I would like to know what kind of subrate would be recommended for a bioactive setup and...

This is my indoor enclosure, it's 2,6 x 6,7 ft. Timmie also has an outdoor enclosure of 6x6 ft. He likes to climb and the majority of the perimeter is free, so he can either climb or take the easy route. He always sleeps in the cave. All the plants have been alive since January, so I guess...

I’m sorry for the length of this... would be so grateful for advice. My family has just agreed to take in a baby sulcata as we have always wanted one, and the other family changed their mind. We got her yesterday. She arrived cold, and has a little runny nose. She’s eating spring mix really...

Hello! So, for my enclosure right now, it is two 2x2x4 foot hollow wooden boxes, with Plexiglas on the top. I am wondering, not so much about reformatting it, but whether or not my Russian will climb a slight incline to get to the second one? They are going to be stacked on top of each other. I...

I'm planning to hopefully build a new enclosure for my 2 year old red foot but with 0 experience in building anything, 0 knowledge about wood and 0 knowledge about insulation I wanted to take some precautions and ask if there are any possible mistakes to avoid making my first enclosure and any...

Hey guys. I'll be getting a baby leopard tort soon. I've been looking for large indoor storage bins. I finally found some really long and big ones. What do you guys think of using this? it is $175 CAD. I want to start out with a big enclosure so even as a baby it can have lots of enclosure space...

TL;DR wanting to change my setup to something naturalistic, wondering about living peat moss as a bedding. Would it be too wet? My juvenile red foot Clyde is currently living in a 90x45x30 cm which is now only a layer of paper towels, an MVB basking light, a CHE and a dry hide with papertowels...

I inherited a rescued male EBT about 4 years ago. He was approximately 8 or 9 years old at the time. About 3 1/2 years ago I built a plywood enclosure for him (22"x84") and painted the inside with what I thought was plenty of coats of semi-gloss paint. Clearly did not work to waterproof it...

Hey y'all. Im building a tortoise table. How large should it be for 2 adult leopard tortoises. They will be inside during the colder months, but outside for spring, summer, and fall.

Hello! I was thinking about hibernating my 3 year old Horsfield tortoise (called Queenie) for the first time. For the moment she lives on a tortoise table inside. I have bought a small fridge for the hibernation. I've read lots (maybe too much) online and I am confused. I have many...

Hey there, I've read around on this topic and am on the verge of incorporating Roly Polys as my cleanup crew. My current concern is that my Western Hermann's is a herbivore, and if my population of Roly Poly becomes too high, I won't have a place to put them. I'm looking to see what other...

I spent nearly a month building it, I've checked the plant for safety issues (safe and does not eat) I feed him a mix of greens and shredded carrots. He isn't as active during the winter i thought it was normal but just want to know. He has lived there for a few months now.

Hello! I am very inconsistent with my posting, but you are all so helpful when I have a concern, and I couldn't be more grateful. For background, I have a 1 year old Jordanian Greek named Sgt. Pepper. He is the light of my life, he lives in my living room (forcefully) so my whole family can see...
