I’ve seen many times on here that an hour daily of natural sunlight is enough for a tortoise’s UVB requirements. I was referred to a reptile lighting page on Facebook and asked if those numbers would apply to both tortoises and bearded dragons and everyone said that it doesn’t even apply to...
First of all, I apologize if this isn’t the place to ask this, but I’m thinking about getting a bearded dragon in a couple of months. I know plenty of people on here have said that about 30 minutes to an hour daily is enough for a tortoise’s uvb requirements. I’m wondering if the same is applied...
My sulcata, Bonnie is about 4 inches long. I'm planning on building her an enclosure within the next few weeks to prepare for the upcoming fall and winter months. My question is would a 4x3 or 4x4 be an acceptable size? She's currently in an 8x8 outdoor enclosure during the day, so i'm just...
I have a 20 month old sulcata named Bonnie. She is about 4 inches long and 195 grams. I know there is no meaningful average, but is she too little? Is there anything I can do to help her grow? She’s been going outside almost everyday all day and I feel like it’s helped.
My aunt just sent me a picture of this turtle they saw at the zoo and I don’t know what the heck it is! I’ve been googling trying to find pictures of similar looking ones and I can’t find anything.
I was planning on building a 4x8 or 4x10 enclosure within the next couple of months. Would 1 48'' UVB light be okay or would I need to get 2 to cover the whole length of the enclosure?
Okay, so this is probably a stupid question. I'm planning on building my tortoise Bonnie a bigger enclosure for indoors until she gets big enough to live outside full time, but the only place it will fit is in the basement. Currently she lives in my bedroom with me and obviously she sees me all...
I was outside looking for food for my sulcata and didn't realize how many things were in my yard. However I'm not sure what these are or if they're safe for my tort. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they're safe or not. I live in south central Kansas if that helps.
UPDATE
We just got back from the vet. She gave me some nasal wash for the bubbly nose. She also gave me a dewormer because she found parasites in her stool. She also told me to keep her warm. She looked completely healthy otherwise.
