leopard tortoise hatchling

Hi Everyone, I'm prepping an enclosure for a leopard tortoise hatchling enclosure that is 6x2x3 (LxWxH). Based on what I've read so far, I should get a UVB light with the length of 36" at least? Also, I'm thinking of going with an Acadia 12% HO. I appreciate the help here, just want to make...

Good evening everyone! This is my first time posting here. I just wanted to ask if our tortoise enclosure is ok for our baby leopard tortoise and what should be the correct humidity? Current humidity is about 60% and the tortoise is almost 1year old. This is right picture 3/3

Im a new owner of 2 bay leopard tortoises. I have a 100w basking bulb and a Reptisun 10.0 UVB. I just removed it off its pole and placed directly on the cage as I don’t know how to get it warmer in there. I could use any help you can offer. We’re going out to get some sphagnum moss tonight.

Hey all, The Problem: Recently I started noticing white areas at the corners of the scutes and wanted your guys' input on whether it is an indicator I might need to make a change in his care/environment. Note: I ask that if you respond, please be kind, don't speak in absolutes (having positive...

Hi I'm pretty new to the form mainly because I got my first tortoise about a week ago and I live in a colder climate with my new baby leopard tortoise Zarha meaning she has to stay inside all the time and she's only 32grams so pretty small I was just wondering what kind of plants I could put in...

Hi All! it’s been awhile but I wanted to post some photos of the incredible enclosure our beautiful babies get to call home. @Markw84 designs and builds these perfect enclosures, including smart thermostats, fixtures and hardware. The enclosure is heavy, as a whole, but extremely easy to...

@Gijoux- Here are your big babies! They pretty much stick together all over the enclosure and snuggle at night. They’re SO healthy and gorgeous! Thank you!

@Markw84 @Tom @Gijoux Here is Little Nugget… We fought hard to get this tiny warrior over 100g. She’s battling and at 109g tonight. It’s a relief knowing her temps and humidity hold perfect and steady in here.

@Markw84 Thank you for your amazing talent and superb design. We all love it!

Hi, I have a 2 month old Leopard hatchling. Today while soaking him (or her), I noticed a bit of orange under only his left eye. Could this possibly be from the terracotta dish? It is also on the fold of his neck. His overall health has been good, very active, eats a lot, passes his food OK as...

Hi all.. I get a leopard tortoise on September 2020. He weighted 45gram and 6 months old at that time. Now end of January 2021, he weighted ranging from 46 grams to 51 grams (as I weight him everyday). Is it normal? It may 48 gram today , then 51 gram the next day, back to 46 gram the next day...

Hi I’m going to be getting a young leopard tortoise in a few weeks and I really want to make sure I get everything as right as I can. Does anyone have any recommendations on lamps and bulbs that they found work for them?

Hello everyone! So, as I can see domesticated tortoise care has an assortment of opinions on how it should be done via google and YouTube. This makes it very troubling for me and I was hoping I can get advice from some experienced tortoise owners about my current enclosure I have set up for my...

Hi everyone! I noticed these new spot like things on the bottom of my leopard tortoise shell and ay a couple of tiny areas on the top of the shell. I was wondering if this is normal due to shell growth or is it shell rot or some sort of sickness? I use coconut fiber substrate as suggested by a...

Ok so I need help. My Exotic vet isn’t open for the next few days and I’m freaking myself out. When I purchased my tortoise back in February/March, I did a lot of research on how to care for baby leopard tortoises. Because it’s a baby I kept everything basically bare: just food/water bowls, a...

Hello! I got my first reptile/tortoise last November at a reptile expo. I bought a leopard tortoise and when I got them the seller said they were 7 weeks old. I think they were about 46g when I got them. Right now they are 65g (about 7 months old) and I've seen posts online before saying...
