Ready for Russian babies.

Jodie · Jul 30, 2016

Just set this up. Used it for a trio of leopards until they out grew it. Put cement mixing tubs in to make several smaller enclosures. The plastic front comes down. I was never thrilled with the humidity for leopards, but it stays close to 80 percent. Should work good for Russians.

Only have 1 egg that I am sure is good. Trying to be optimistic. Have about a dozen eggs.

nice setup! hoping you fill those up with a few more than you think.

leigti · Jul 30, 2016

Nice, you always make great enclosures. I'm taking notes

How big is each cement tub? And I hope you get those filled up soon also.

Jodie · Jul 30, 2016

26 X 18. Thank you!

Did you put this one in the new tortoise room? Or the old one?

Jodie · Jul 30, 2016

This is the old one. Males and babies upstairs. Females downstairs. Can't start that until my yougest leaves. Not excited for him to ship out, but excited to build a new room for the girls winter home.

Do Russian hatchlings have to be at 80° 24/7? With a warmer basking spot of course. And if so, for how long? The first year?

Jodie · Aug 1, 2016

I keep the Min temp close to 80F. I let it get a bit cooler than the leopards, but do keep the humidity pretty high, so not much cooler. I don't use night heat, but keep them in the leopard room that is kept about 80F. I will maintain my only hatchling that I am keeping until he can go outside with the adults. Several years I think.

Wow, a dozen! From how many total females?

Jodie · Aug 3, 2016

I have 6 females. Only 3 of them have been laying as far as I know. The other 3 I got last year, and just added to my group this spring. Hoping next year will have better fertility rates.

Ready for Russian babies.
