Im so glad you shared your expiriences! My dog let herself into my reptile room and ate most of my baby redfoot's cuttlebone. Lucky for my tort, my dog was only interested in that...
So i started making my hatchling a tortoise house for her enclosure before i even got her. Its pretty much a mini dog house that i made with leftover wood from a wooden dollhouse kit. I never ended up finishing it up though.
I have a couple log hides now, but i still keep thinking about using it...
Yeah, im looking for a "temp gun" now myself. I thought my friends each already have one i could check out to test , but they both managed to break right around the same time. They are boat mechanics.
So i guess just going to have to get one for myself.

What kinds of rocks should i avoid???
I like to collect smooth flat rocks for Artemis. But im worried about this guys! I was looking at a piece of really pretty granite, but then i...
My first turtle was given to me by my cousin when i was really little. We started out feeding him pellet food, but eventually, i learned better. Unfortunately, i was always taking him outside to hang out on the lawn, and one day , he vanished!
Is there a self contained waterfall system out there? Like, one that is powered by batteries, not using power cables?
I would say that cords are my main complaint about the reptile waterfalls that i have seen so far. I really dont want to drill any holes in my tortoise enclosure to try and run...
Thanks everybody!
I happily read the begginers mistakes posts!
Thankfully, my previous expiriences with reptiles ensured i was on the right track! Been planning out my indoor tortoise habitat for years. But i learned LOTS of helpfull info on substrate. Im looking for a place i can find cypress...
Im not a new tortoise owner, but im a returning one! I havent had a tortoise in more than 6 years. I just kept planning out my tortoise table, then procrastinating due to life in general. But i finally decided that i have to make my dreams come true, and got a female rex footed tortoise that im...
