Color is still beautiful. Someone will not see anything but a lovely tort and treat it well.

Oh my gosh that was fast! Do they all grow that quickly?

Oh that is too cute!

That's egg-citing! ;) Sorry, couldn't resist. If it hatches share pics. I love seeing baby rfs.

Oh adorable! I would love to watch them hatch.

Oh my goodness, so cute :)

Ok thank you very much. I've started to put more water down under the rocks so it will soak in and leave the rest of the surrounding area drier.

This is my first full week with my baby RF Toothless <3 I'm stalking this forum for hours a day trying to glean every bit of knowledge I can. Here is my baby: Our first day home looked like this: I was told it was too bright, too dry and needed decor. So we went to this: We actually...

Before I left for work the baby was snuggled down in the substrate in the darker corner of it's tote. The temp was at a steady 82 f (I have the gauge at the furthest corner from the basking lamp) and the humidity was hovering at 78. Yesterday I picked up some spring mix greens and it seemed...

Little guy or gal is sleeping a lot today and hiding in the substrate. I'm keeping the temps and humidity up but I think Friday the 13th has struck at my house. :( Baby is not eating today and I cannot confirm a poop in days since I switched to the peat moss substrate. The color makes it very...

This is my first week with my baby RF and we've blown our budget on it, happily of course. We got it with general knowledge and everything the pet store employee told us was wrong. Thankfully we could return most of the stuff we bought but I got landed with a $20 UV compact style bulb because I...

Ok to both. I will watch the enclosure for any flips and correct any areas that prove to be potentially dangerous. So far I've switched to using dandelion greens until I can get to the store for more variety. Today I fed greens and a strawberry slice. I also left some chopped apple pieces as...

Ok sounds like I'm on the right track. I'll keep food in the cooler end from now on. So far it's like having a completely different tortoise. It sleeps off and on, but it's far more active. I was concerned that I'd have a dead tort on my hands at some point, but I'm feeling a little more...

My husband I and switched the baby over to a Rubbermaid tote today. The long shallow kind. I'm keeping the lid weighted over the cooler side to retain humidity. I used sphagnum moss for substrate and moistened it with some warm water. It seems to be holding the moisture well. It's not wet, just...

Ok Lowe's or Home Depot it is. But I think the cost will be the same as the hubby will have a hay day LOL Thank you all so much. I hope this helps my little baby.
