Titus is 3 now. The time has come for a new hide for our tortoise. He has outgrown his old one. I wanted to see what some of you are using for your indoor hides.
His table humidity in the winter time is around 16%. I have read about some people using sponges inside the hides. But can't find any info on how much humidity the Leopards like. Would like to know if people are doing this for Leopards
Titus is showing some pyramiding. His shell is hard though. I'm not sure why he is pyramiding. It could be he is gaining too much weight. Last January he weight in just over 1 pound. One year later 2 lbs 12 ounces.
In his enclosure we use timothy hay for as his base. We put it in there dry. We feed him Mazuri sometimes and spring mix other times. Since June, when we noticed how fast he is gaining weight. We have cut back his foods by at least half. I know now that he is getting older he is also eating the timothy hay. But it doesn't seem to disapear fast enough to think he is eating an extreme amount of it.
His temps are 95 hot to 70 cold side. Night time temps 80-70.
