    Looking for opinions...

    This is Truman (please forgive how dirty he is, this was just before bath time). We've had "him" for over 4 years now. I am starting to believe that "HE" may be a "SHE". What do you all think?

    Trumans new house!!

    It's a 4x4 raised garden bed with a green house tent on top. It seems to be working great. But wanted to post here for some feedback. Did I miss anything? His temps are 80 degrees everywhere, his basking spot is at around 102 degrees. The humidity is around 77-80%. Night time temps range...

    Crazy question...

    But do they sense the weather outside even when they live in a constant 80 degree sunny environment? My little guy has hardly come out of his hidey hole yesterday and today. The weather here is horrible, cold and lots of snow is being dumped on us at the moment. I've checked and rechecked...

    Substrate question

    Moldy substrate??

    I am using cypress mulch and I have a ZooMed reptile Fogger that is set to go off only when the humidity drops below 80%. The problem is that the substrate never gets a chance to fully dry out. It seems that some mold growing and it's only been in there for about 3 weeks. Should I be using...

    Just Hatched or 3.5 months old?? Help!!

    I have a question, maybe someone here could help me. I just got a baby sulcata from a reptile show 2 weeks ago. They told me she was about 3 1/2 months old. Although, I'm pretty sure she still had her egg tooth when we got her. Whatever it was fell off about a week after we brought her home. My...
