    Jessee

    His main enclosure (for inside) is 8'x4'. I had built another enclosure identical for some leopards I planned to get but I ended up not getting any so I just took everything except a water bowl out the 2nd enclosure and built a bridge between enclosures so he has run of them both. In the warm...

    Sheldon growth update. Enjoy

    He's looks great, I can't wait til mine is that size. Im a firm believer that diet plays a huge roll in how they grow and come along and I try to provide as natural a diet as possible.

    Aldabra tortoise from South korea...

    Thank you. I wanted to mention that the tiles I use for his feeding station do have a light texture to them, a bit gritty feeling I guess I would say, their still easy to scrub off but the texture still gives my guy tread so he's not slipping or anything. The plant that is covering his hide is a...

    The Sudan triplets

    for some reason my post came up under an odd name. Just got a new phone and had to put all the thousand apps back and apparently did this one wrong. I had to erase my app and redo it to get the right name, sorry for the confusion.

So I took off the front panels of enclosure, turned heat off, got...

    Mold on substrate

    Thanks everyone! I quit putting any water on it, I'm scrapping it off as I see it, I am running lights and heat longer and higher, I got a fan going on the tort room now, and I'm going to use that peroxide water solution as well today. I figure since there's no torts in there yet I might as well...

    Thank you, I'm very happy with my little guy myself. Just like you I spent along time preparing and then had issues (medical) that postponed me from getting mine. It's frustrating to say the least. I will PM ya.

    Mold on substrate

    I added a fan to the room. I have all my enclosures set up in my "tort room". The whole room stays about 83-92, and humidity stays around 50-70%, depending on how often I am in and out, how many times I open enclosures, time of day so I added a fan to kinda circulate the whole room. My...
