Hello all, I was looking into getting a 3 or 4 foot long uvb bulb to cover most of the indoor enclosure for the upcoming winter months. I was having a difficult time finding the fixtures for most of these bulbs outside of just using an aquarium/terrarium hood. I was wondering what you all would...

That's a great idea!!

AMAZING!!!!

ok.....

Yeah I was hoping to find a more cost effective way of creating one. I love the way the waterland tubs look and are setup but they are rather pricey.

Stinkpots and Reeves turtles right now.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with how they have their water turtles setup for they can lay eggs if need be? I was hoping to avoid buying a waterland tub which includes the nesting area and make something more cost efficient. Any ideas, pictures, or information would be greatly...

Thank you so much for all the information, Yvonne. That paragraph at the bottom makes me feel a lot better. I'm so worried about now having a group of infected tortoises infecting the rest of my collection. Have you ever dealt with this situation before??

I got these guys a few months back. This is my first time hearing about mycoplasma and it sounds pretty serious. Like it could wipe out my whole collection.

So as long as they don't come in direct contact with the other tortoises, the other ones will be alright?

Can anyone help me with some information on mycoplasma? My vet just diagnosed my group of Redfoot Tortoises with it. I have several other species (all in separate pens) and I'm worried about them all getting it. Any information on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
