Sorry. Have been off for a bit. Yes it is a green house box. I lined it with corrugated plastic to seal it well and put a rubber gasket around the door. I have 5 temp humidity monitors, a CHE and a T10 bulb. My hatchling has thrived! I have followed Toms advice to the T.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the forum but Zippy is doing great! He/She is now 6.3oz with a smooth shell. I have filled Tom’s instructions on raising Leopard hatchlings to the T.

Here are 2 pics of Zippy’s planted enclosure. I am adding some baby tears to it. I’m think they can handle the heat/humidity. It’s cute, he will go around and nibble on the spider plant. I had a coreopsis planted in one corner that was beautiful, but almost died from the heat and humidity...

LOL. From South Louisiana. Just thought it cute to name a tortoise Zippy!

I fished my enclosure and ended up ordering a leopard from tortoise town. Zippy arrived 2/5. I soaked him well and put him in his new home. He is amazing and has already learned a routine. Lights come on at 6 am (via timer) and he comes out of his hide soon after. I put warm water in his bath...

Beautiful!

I actually have several spider plants with babies. I will transplant 1 or 2 of those. Thanks for the great idea!

Still have to cut out a hole in back to run wires through. Will be using a wire manager cover to minimize heat/humidity escape.

The 2 large pots will come out. They are just there to get more grass growing to supplement feeding. Have started several large pots also.

I have been working on an enclosure for a leopard hatchling. My indoor enclosure is 36 x 24. I will send a pic shortly. This is what I have so far. I have an enclosed set up with 4-5 inches of coir and husk substrate. A T5 HO 10.0 UVB bulb. A basking light and humidity of around 80+...

Very exciting. And I must say, your girl is absolutely beautiful!

Very close. I grew up in Baton Rouge. Is Percival doing better? I have let my 2 little leos out and they love being outside. I am working on an outdoor enclosure for them with a secure lid. They are still quite tiny, so only go out supervised.
