The plywood was installed after picture was taken. Do you guys change the day temp from the night temp in the box?

Finally got around to building there outdoor enclosure. I got away with using all my old material from their other enclosure Thanks for all your help!

Hello all, Im curious on when the make the move outside full-time. My Leopards tortoise stats are. Dipper is going to be 3 year old this year and is pushing 10 inches and 3 1/2 pounds. Mable is 8 1/2 inches into pounds and also going to be 3 as well. They both have been living in a close...

It’s growing in nicely. My little guys are loving it starting to get a little hard to find at times.

Ok, that solves that. Thanks The next question is for how long? Is there an age when I can drop the temp or do I have to keep the night temps at 80 as long as they live even as they start to be out side all the time. I’m just curious. Thanks

Can I play around with night temp? I am thinking of letting the temp go in to the low 70s at night only. Day temp will hover around 90 to 95. Humidy never falls below 65%. Dipper/mable are over year old and over 500g and over 4”. Thanks

My leopard’s are a little over a year old now. Dipper is 706 grams and Mable is 495 grams. Wellington 99% of the time they are in there closed chamber closure that I try to keep the humidity a minimum of 75% and temps: Go as follows, 78deg at night and anywhere between 80 and 95° during the...

I have started their outdoor enclosure. I put down grass seed, and A few plants. It will be a work in progress.

Hello all, I have have dipper and mabel for over a year now and wanted to give a update. Here is a few pic. As you can see they still have some pyramiding , but slowing down since I have had them.

Wellington, I'm not that concerned about the soil being wet I'm just tired picking the mushrooms that grow up and just worried about to much fungus. As for humidity goes the last seven days the average is been 77 with a high of 86 and a low of 73. When I open the doors to feed/change water...

Hello Leopard family. It's been a while and I wanted to give an update on my little guys. They are averaging about 2 to 2.5g per week, nice and slow. They don't eat anything but weeds/grape leaves and finally got them started on eating grass! I try to soak them daily but sometimes I have...

Thanks Yvonne :) That's what I was thinking. My kids like seeing in the rabbit in the backyard that's why I have allowed it. I will seal up the fence a little bit better. Also is the same little guy that likes the rocks every now and again.

Hello all, I just noticed one of my leopard's eating rabbit poop! Good,bad? Thanks

I ordered a light set from lightyourreptiles.com. 14% UVB D3, plant pro and 2 day light bulbs. Todd was such a big help! Figuring out the times lights will be on. Do I need to buy a solar meter? Wish they weren't so expensive. Please don't laugh at my wood working skills :) It's not...

We have only had these two little guys for three months now and they're averaging 2+grams per week. Is this a good slow growth rate? They both show a little signs of pyramiding. Their enclosure is all ways above 75%.
