How do I fix this?

Hello, tortoise owners! Daisy laid another egg couple days ago (1-30-16). She laid one egg this time. Last summer, she laid two eggs, but they did not make it due to my lack of experience. This time, I bought an incubator! I bought the Hover-bator. I have the temperature set to 86 to 88...

Just a 100watt zoo med power sun uv is enough for my enclosure?

You're mostly right... But both of them shove their head in the corner most of the time but Dino (male, fully grown) seems to eat less and seems to be less active.... I got Daisy 1 year after I got Dino, but when Daisy first moved in, it seemed like Daisy was getting bullied, now that has...

Hey all, I am looking into buying a new uvb light for Dino and Daisy. And price range is fine with me but there isn't any reptile stores when I live. I don't go to pet smart too much either. I go to petco because it's close to where I live and I know some workers there. I currently have the...

It's been a while since I've posted!This is a 5'by 3' enclosure with a 2nd story. I put some garden soil in there with some fake moss in the corner. Dino and Daisy seem to love the new dirt and design! Is there any issues with my enclosure?

Daisy laid 2 eggs on 5-31-15 and today one of the eggs cracked due to my lack of experience. The egg was cracked pretty bad, but no liquid was coming out. I believe that the membrane was still intact. We put some silicone on the crack. Was that a good idea? I heard that people put scotch tape on...

Wow! It has been 1 and a half years since I visited this website! A lot has happened in those years. As you can infer from the title, Dino and Daisy have mated and Daisy layed two eggs on 5-31-15 around 4 PM (mountain standard time). I noticed her behavior of nesting, but I did not prepare an...

Our family tied to make pumpkin seeds this year but we failed..... We soaked the seeds in water for a couple days and later we saw roots growing on the bottom of the strainer. We let it grow then sprouts were starting to come out. My dad asked me if Dino and Daisy can eat pumpkin sprouts. I've...

I got another Russian tortoise on October 21! I named her Daisy. Dino is trying to mate with her, but I think Daisy is not ready for mating. I think she is not ready for mating because the Russian tortoise book said that the size for a male tortoise to mate is about 5 inches (bottom shell),and...

I built Dino a 5'X3'X8" plywood enclosure yesterday and my dad thinks it's going to rot in a couple of years so what can use to seal the bottom so that it's water proof. I'm hoping it can last at least 15 years. Thank you!

I have Russian tortoise ,and he is about 1 to 3 years old.(What Petco said) Is it good to keep the substrate moist? I heard that is is very good to keep the substrate wet if your tortoise is a babe. Is Dino still a babe?:tort:

Hi! I'm building a house for Dino and i don't know what type of wood to buy. I don't want a wood that rots easily with water. and what should be the thickness of the wood?1/2 inch,1/4 inch,or 1/8 inch.
