    Yoda update

    Hey all, just thought I'd post some recent pics of Yoda. He's now 290g (was 87g when we got him 6 moths ago) and now has a SCL of 9.5cm (up from 7cm when we got him). To me, he looks like he's doing well and his shell continues to grow nice and flat. The mild pyramiding was there when we got...

    Good progress ??

    Hi all, just thought I'd post an update on Yoda. He is 8 months old now. We have had him since he was 3 months old. When we got him he weighed in at 87g and had a SCL of 7 cm. He also had some very slight pyramiding. He now weighs in 244g with a SCL of 9.5cm. I'm hoping we have halted the...

    missing part of shell

    Hi all, just looking some advice for a friend. She has said that her Russian escaped about a year ago and her dog got hold of it. The shell got broken and there is a bit of shell now missing just above her tail. Apparently it's all healed now but she is just wondering is it ok to leave it as it...

    New flat growth ???

    Thanks for the reply Wellington. All the changes to his enclosure and keeping an eye on humidity, temps etc must be paying off then :-)

    New flat growth ???

    Hi guys, just wanted to check and get opinions on Yoda's shell. Does it look like we've halted the pyramiding that he had when we got him and is the new growth now looking flat and even ?? Thanks

    Pyramiding ??

    Hi guys, just wanted to get opinions on this one. Does it look like Timmy has pyramided a bit and if so, does it look like the newer growth has flattened out ? I know that before I got him he was kept dry, in a viv, with another baby sully, a baby leopard, a 3 year old sully and 2 baby...

    Attempt at closed chamber (pics)

    Hi, yeah, I know it's a bit on the small side for him but I'm working on a bigger version for him. Hoping to get him in asap. Just wanted to check that the basics of what I was doing were ok.

    Attempt at closed chamber (pics)

    Hi all, so I thought I'd post some pics of my rabbit cage / closed chamber conversion and get some opinions. I covered the cage with what is basically a big bin bag and made a flap for the front for easy acces for cleaning, feeding etc. I use strong double back sticky tape to keep the flap...

    Wooden viv and moisture

    Thanks for the replies folks. If I go with the sealing option, is there any particular kind of sealant I should use or will any one do ? Just wondering about fumes etc. Thanks

    Wooden viv and moisture

    Hi all, was just wanting to know if anyone keeps their young Sulcata's in a wooden type viv with the sliding glass doors on the front ? If so, what do you do about the moisture and humidity affecting the wood ? I'm going to be moving our little guy into one shortly but have just realised that...

    Sphagnum moss or not ???

    It seems to be doing the trick, keeping things nice and humid and since I converted his cage into a closed chamber, I can really see a difference in him. He is whole lot more alert than he was and is eating like a horse now. I guess the boost in humdity and temps is doing the trick. I'm gonna...

    Sphagnum moss or not ???

    Dead on Ken, thanks for the reply. I bought it in a pet shop and it's meant for reptiles so I'm assunimg it's the safe, organic stuff.
