I fished my enclosure and ended up ordering a leopard from tortoise town. Zippy arrived 2/5. I soaked him well and put him in his new home. He is amazing and has already learned a routine. Lights come on at 6 am (via timer) and he comes out of his hide soon after. I put warm water in his bath and leave it in the enclosure to prevent chill. While he is soaking for 30min, I prepare his breakfast. I had been growing a variety of grasses and plants organically, so I pick a variety and supplement with spring mix. I soak 1 Mazuri tortoise biscuit and mix that all together. When he finishes his soak. Off he goes to eat. I have planted spider plant in the enclosure. Having some difficulty finding plants that can handle both the eat and humidity. Friendship plant and coreopsis did not like it a bit. Zippy is quite active and weighed 30 gms when I got him and weighed 44 this am. Is this appropriate weight gain? Going to try and add a pic.
