He appreciates the birthday wishes! :) [hr] I really can't emphasize how great he is. His species is generally territorial, semi-aggressive to aggressive, and at points very hard to manage. He has been completely the opposite of that. He has never once hissed, bit, tail whipped, scratched, or...

My baby Darwin turned one year old today! He's been the best reptile I have ever encountered and to this day impresses me like no other. I'm putting this compilation of pics up to honor him for being an awesome Cyclura cornuta!

This is an amazing thread! I can't wait to see the results! Tom, you mentioned you're looking for an alternative method for heating. I just figured out tonight that I can keep the temperatures/ humidity up in a closed enclosure using under the tank heat pads that are designed for keeping...

Amazing find!

Hey Lovely yes that is correct. I actually don't have measurements or weights from the time I got him, what I do have however are Tupperware containers he has grown out of. When I first got him I'd soak him in the one and he eventually grew big enough that he could get up over the sides. I...

Thanks for the input Tom. How often is he supposed to have these growth rings? You say he has 4-5 now, how many did he have in the initial pics that I through up a month or so ago? Sorry I don't really know exactly what I'm looking for... In regards to the pyramiding, he's probably about...

Why thank you :) I wish the best to you as well.

My thoughts exactly. From what I understand it's a pretty gradual process. I guess it can start even way before it's signs become visible. What's interesting about that in this case is that I have had him since he was 3 weeks old if that. His beginning few weeks he spent on Big Pine Key down...

I'm going to post a few updated pics of my little guy. He has grown substantially since his last pics and I can't tell if he has "notches" or not. I apologize ahead of time for the pics being all over the place. He wasn't being too complacent to my picture requests haha. Let me know what...

Completely agree with this statement. Had I not used Tom's threads I would have a pyramided Sulcata at this point. Best advice I have ever gotten on a forum.

Thank you I appreciate that!

Does anyone know the specific species of fungus that cause shell rot?

Ill tell you what I'll do. I'm not doing anything tomorrow and it's supposed to be quite hot where I live and have low humidity. I'll take my solar meter out and take readings from various places then post a photo and description of where I got the reading. I'll do it between 2 and 5 so I can...

I'm not sure what solar meters you are using but I have never gotten readings like that with mine... In regards to a red foot, even if they spent 70% of the time under vegetation that's only 16.8 hours. The other 7.2 would be more than adequate to make up for it. In regards to your statements...

Clearly I know that light is radiation. And clearly I know that light reacts differently to different surfaces. Wavelengths vary in sizes, UV included. Some wavelengths penetrate as you said because they are smaller than the sub atomic particles that make up atoms and molecules. Obviously...
