I've added a mist machine to my vivarium and some plants, the machine is on a timer so as to maintain the humidity levels 24/7. The two flower posts have been moved out of the flower pot as i want him to be able to climb around the plants.
I do apologise if my response came as being evasive, this was not my intention, I said what I knew and left the set up and technical bits to the husband to work out so he knew the details. I came here for help so do forgive me.
So to answer you questions specifically:
Hygrometer reads 60 when...
Hi all, I've taken into action everything you've said with regards to changing the pine bark, in my defence I bought it online and it said it was specially treated for reptiles but I guess I know better now, I've also introduced an hygrometer and daily misting rather than on occasion as...
Thanks for your reply, I've read the article and I increased the water bowl in his tank, everything else we are doing but still doesn't answer my question as to why he's turned out like so when he's brother under the same conditions has a smooth shell, and had never had lumps. When we bought...
We got him just a few months old and even then he had pointed carapace. I sprinkle vitamins and calcium on his diet more than twice a week when I remember, nibbles on cuttlefish, is sprinkled daily almost with water, left to soak in a warm bath once a week, bedding is a mixture of natural...
That explains a lot, the bullied is a few grams bigger but has gone from being very bubbly to very quiet. The division of the vivarium has made all the difference, both are content, eating well and look okay. Will monitor them daily for a few days. But thanks to everyone for the advice...
The one on the left always had the tail out and flashes his private like it is London Fashion Week. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it, went on Google yesterday and his cloaca is similar to that of a male without a doubt.
As for the tortoise on the left which we taught was the male...
Thanks very much just didn't believe it, from sleeping together and being peaceful most times to non stop climbing and pushing him with all her weight. We've divided the existing tank into two for now by securing a piece of wood in the middle until we build the new tank.
Thanks very much we were aware of bullying before getting them but wanted to conserve space, the female was very shy and the male very outgoing. I noticed the male has a long pointed end whilst the female has a cloaca I never thought she'll be the bully it's truly mind-boggling. We've started...
Hi all, I've got one female and one male they've been together since birth. I've noticed the female climbs the male constantly she's a few grams smaller but doesn't look it. There's enough space, stones and a bridge but only the male uses it, the female just wants to climb him and he does...
