I went out of town for the night (had someone watch over her humidity and temp) I came back just now to give her some sun and a soak. At first she seemed like she couldn’t hold herself up. It’s been 20 minutes. She’s trying to move her limbs. She keeps sticking her head straight up.
This is all...
I checked on my baby leopard right before 9am before I went to work. My partner checked on her around 1 in the afternoon and found her flipped over. Not sure how long she was like that? At what point does it become dangerous? :(
My leopard tortoise can be seen in the last photo right before the terra cotta saucer.
I keep the CHE in the ceramic-based fixture (got it from the home depot after reading one of your comments a while back.) That's in one of the pictures.
I'll get another one to use for the basking bulb.
Do you...
attached are pictures of my setup so far.
I am currently saving money for an enclosed chamber
The chicken wire is covered with plexiglass except for the spot for the light.
-orchid bark from lowes
-Flood light 65w on a timer for 12 hours. ( I do think I need a higher wattage)
-Heat emitter...
I can't seem to find bulk orchid bark or coco coir. The cypress mulch I find is pretty sharp, I don't think it would be great for my baby leopard. I live in South Florida. Any suggestions?
I know :/
She’s in a glass fish tank now and I want something bigger while I save up the funds for a pvc closed chamber. I reached out to mark and definitely interested in his products. I’m also in the process of moving so funds and space are limited right now. She will eventually have a nice...
baby Leopard tortoise. I wanted to make sure that 90% humidity and 90 temp is okay for the night time? The other side of the enclosure Is 80 humidity and 80 temp. Clearly, she prefers the warmer side.
Thanks in advance :)
it would mean so much if you could share links to where you bought your indoor enclosures. I get mixed reviews on the one from Amazon. I found this one on chewy and wanted some opinions...
This is my current setup after reading the tom the dog trainers thread.
I understand I need to get an enclosed chamber for my little guy. Does anyone have a link to where I can buy one or a video of how I could build one?
I'm open to any comments, critiques, and or questions.
I live in Florida...
no reaction to his leg being pulled. :/ I just don't understand why he would have died tho. I thought he was doing fine. I even brought him in about a week ago to the reptile store I got him and they said he looked okay..
I have a leopard tortoise. I got him a little over a month ago. It took him a few days to warm up and start eating but he has been doing well ever since. I soak him in water twice a week if not more, he tends to only go for his lettuce and not much of the other things. I do sprinkle his food...
