Thank you. That "sticking" was one of my foremost concerns now that we are seeing growth. I will try the olive oil starting with his next soak. I think I will continue to be concerned until he is much bigger, but I am heartened to see positive motion.
Just as a quick follow up: is giving...
Thank you. We are quite fond of him/her (TBD).
I will endeavor to get the humidity up. While it is closed chamber, I think there are some seams that I could do a better job of sealing to hold in that humidity better.
I have been torn. I am eager to see him grow steadily, but I am now...

Some quick background before the specific details I am asking about. My wife adopted this Leopard hatchling a bit over two years ago. Frankly, she was unprepared and got a lot...

Fire hazards are going to come from improper mounting, improper home wiring, improper fixtures, or having something flammable...
Tom, question for you. If the sulcata will leave its warmed house at night to be cold under a bush, how do you keep them warm at night?
Currently I have a leopard tortoise hatchling that I would like to eventually home outside and I am looking to plan ahead.
Thanks.
