Hello! I have a leopard tortoise with a red rash on their back leg. About 2 months ago I got my tort a new large water dish but over time I realized that that particular dish grew algae pretty easily and had some sort of leak underneath that caused the substrate around it to mold. I tried doing...

While looking up bait stations this morning I found this link on how they work. It explains everything about bait stations and it says Hexaflumuron powder is used as the treatment. This link here is a PDF on Hexaflumuron. In the paper is states that Hexaflumuron does not penetrate or...

There are definitely some in the house but I was also given a map of where they are around the home. There are 23 surrounding the house. The paperwork only mentions bait stations so I don’t think it’s something else.

Im currently house hunting and the house I've liked the most in the last 3 years actually has active termites. The sellers are already getting it treated with bait stations. Of course Im concerned with my leopard tortoise's safety so Im wondering what I should do, my agent/mom is telling me that...

I know this is a pretty old post but I wanted to know how Juggalo ended up. I have a runt about to turn two and they are about 220g. I've taken him to the reptile vet in town who has had leopards and has worked for the zoo in the past and said that his shell and poop look nice and healthy. The...

That's a perfect idea for the substrate, thank you! I don't have pictures with me at the moment, I'm on my work computer. What I have is the Exo Terra Natural Terrarium Large Wide which is completely enclosed and the top is like a wire mesh material and that's how the hair gets in. My cats like...

Hello everyone! The last time I changed out my leopard tortoise's substrate it seems like some pests tagged along. They look like little white mites to me. It doesn't look like any on my tortoise and from what I've seen on other posts I think they might be harmless but they are annoying. I...

The UVB isnt compact or curly, its a tube type. The top is a tight mesh. I have damp moss on the right and inside the log for humidity. How else do people usually keep the humidity?

They being so underweight for their age, will they be able to recover and live a regular life or are they doomed to pass young because of their bad start? ?

No, just one. I use They/Them since I dont know the gender.

Hello! I got my first reptile/tortoise last November at a reptile expo. I bought a leopard tortoise and when I got them the seller said they were 7 weeks old. I think they were about 46g when I got them. Right now they are 65g (about 7 months old) and I've seen posts online before saying...

I also heard my leopard hatchling today make clicking noises. It kinda seemed on purpose.
