haha! i wanted something he could take a paddle in if he wanted :P yeah don't worry i took these pics before i adjusted the basking light. i had just re activated it and was undergoing temp tests :P it was indeed too low but that's been rectified xD thanks for spotting it tho! that is an awesome...
Following your guidance i have moved the ceramic down and got the basking bulb back on i also topped up the substrate to try and achieve a more stable 80% humidity ive attached a pic of the warm end and cool end and a panorama of the whole thing. if there's anything i should change...
Firstly thanks for the quick reply and im glad to hear back from you. you care sheets are brilliant!
okay ile give him more then :) ile take some pics of the set up for you soon as i have the time. the hygrometer is attached to the back of the viv near the middle just over to the warm side...
Hi everyone! I am quite an experienced reptile keeper but new to torts! I have a Sulcata! hes a pain in the *** but too cute! :)
I have posted for some advice over in the sulcata section!
Thanks! :)
Hi there i have had my sulcata for about a year now I've been keeping him (i hope its a him) In a 4ft vivarium with coco coir as substrate the humidity in the vivarium is always between 60-80% he has a hide box where i keep his substrate very damp in there. I have a heating bulb and a basking...
So titan has settled in nicely i have him in a humid environment following toms instructions! he seems nice and happy! gets bath soaked once or twice a day sprayed a few times and when the suns out i stick him in the garden in a nice roomy pen!
Indoor temps are (degrees Celsius) 36-39 basking...
This has probably been asked a hundred times but my little guy wont stop flipping himself over on the corners of his enclosure. i help him every time but he huffs at me! can it damage a small sulcata being on his back for a while? should i leave him to flip himself back over?
I did think about that afterwards. its all good i use ECO Earth which is coco choir as far as i can tell! ive used it with some of my other reptiles to keep humidity up too!
Following the humidity rules strictly ive put him back in a viv for now its only 2 foot but will change to a bigger one asap. the temps and humidity are alot more stable. just makes sense to keep him that way! don't mean to stress the little guy out moving him around. he seems alot more content...
