Hello I’d love for you to come look at my yard in Visalia and I’d be happy to take you to lunch before or after and talk torts with you! I will be back in town in two weeks. Cat

That's so cool, I can't wait for my babies to get big enough to roam the backyard or build them an enclosure.

He is absolutely darling!! Reminds me of my Wally. How long did it take to get him that big? My babies have a long way to go. Thank you for sharing.

UPDATE!!! The remodel is now complete. My husband turned the tort house into a duplex! I feel this will work till I get a larger space to keep them. I'll get an extra heater for their room. Timmy seems happy with the new setup. Thanks for all your input and encouragement. Happy baby torts, happy...

Okay I did not know I had to have 4 zones. I only have two thermometers setup. 70 in the cool area. 83 in the basking under a ceramic heat source so it can be on at night too. UV is an 10" florescent. Over night low is about 65 throughout my whole house. The substrate is potting soil little...

I was told they are CDT. I've read very care sheet I could, the ones on TFO sounded the most reasonable and sound. I'll get a separate box for him asap.

Thank you! I'll get one set up as soon as I can. Cat

Thank you. I did not know about that, sibling rivalry can be harsh. So I need one more darn. Should I get one about the same age?

Hello, my name is Cat. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and the Tuttle's! This is Timmy & Trudy. I got them when they were one week old. (1st pic) They are 3.5 months old now. (2nd pic) As you maybe able to tell "she" has grown quite a bit more than "he" has. And I may need to...
