Is this what most people use? I have a sulcata and a russian tortoise. I have been using UVB but my 6 months of use are here... so I figured if those are better than I need to upgrade.
My concern is that 160 watt would get to hot?
On this thread a long time ago there was a "caresheet" for sulcatas? Well at least I thought there was... can the administrators make a locked thread thing about sulcata basic care and good trusted sites and food management for newbies on the site?? That way they dont have to spend a long time...
I was wondering if anyone had an enclosure they would like to sell... or if you are a good craftsman making one? I am planning on making one in a month or so BUT I am a full time student with three kids and I just don't want a weekend in project taking a month or more lol...

Okay, so I was growing my own food, but awhile ago I posted the nats were horrible! So, that grass was put outside and now is totally dead! Which all grass over Texas is dead due to we are in like the worst drought in 10 years. So, my torts have been eating bok choy. Well, it seems the sulcata...

Okay I do not have weight... I am going to buy a scale sometime (just don't want to cause I weigh myself constantly lol) Here are the measurements of Zayco.
5 Inches Long
5 Inches Wide on measuring from the top of his shell
3 1/2 Inches Wide underneath his shell
I am guessing he should...
Gnats....
I have growing in my tortoise table two sets of different grasses from Carolina Pet Supply for my tortoises.... though now I am having a problem in one of the food trays that has grown grass... I have a numerous amount of GNATS! How can I kill these things with out putting chemicals...
Zayco's head is peeling. It is just like little fakes, so I was wondering are they like snakes and shed? Can I buy him some tortoise lotion or something? Or do they even have any tortoise lotions? lol.[hr]
I have a question my tort's shell is fading not a lot but enough to notice. I got him on the correct food and lighting. I was just wondering that maybe the correct habitat is causing his shell to now fade.
I am doing another set-up a table right now 6x2. But here is what I began with, which is a very easy inexpensive starter tank. I used a 50 gallon rubbermaid storage container. I have two torts Sulcata (Zayco) and Russian (Zsa Zsa).
I am a new member and a recent buyer of two tortoise they were a year old when I got them, they are now I want to say a year and six months. One is a sulcata (Zayco) and the other is a Russian (Zsa Zsa). They are up most friendly with me now and wonderful members of my family! I have done so...
