Thank you so much Yvonne and also Aldabraman!! I'm so happy to have your approval.

Thanks Leannedit! I haven't added the shelf yet, so I will definitely coat it first! CrTortoise: Thanks! I have a 120Watt Dayglo bulb and a ceramic head emitter. Then on the long lamp, I have a 10.0 UVB bulb and have both an infrared and a moonbulb for the night time...have been alternating...

Hello! I rigged Charli up with new digs! Double the size of his last apartment. I think he's becoming a lot happier. He loves the heat rock--something he didn't have before. And he loves walking on top of his plants...guess he doesn't want to eat those yet...doh! So, I also made this...

I'll take some tonight. Your pic is so cute!

Well, here's the thing. The tank itself is glass. I just made a wooden shelf to maximize the room...so, only the shelf is wooden.

Good morning! I spent THREE hours at Home Depot yesterday constructing a tortoise shelf with the help of the guy in the lumber department. It will be sitting in an area that will likely get wet, so I wanted to know what you guys recommend me coating the shelf in. I thought something like...

What is your humidity and how did you get it up?? [hr] WONDERFUL info--thank you so much.

Good to know. The temp HAS dropped some, so I'll be sure to keep an eye on that. Yeah, he doesn't really get any outside time...I will look into an MVB as well. Finally, I just bought a large tupperwear area for a temporary housing unit. Does anyone have any idea how to make layers? It's very...

You guys are awesome. The big lamp on top of the cage IS a UVB lamp. I tried the mercury bulb, but don't have the proper set up to have it facing directly downward. Thanks so much to all of you who said he looks good and thanks for the tips otherwise. I covered the tank last night and the...

MVB + CHE + UVB + LIGHBULB + HUMIDIFIER = all this is necessary?

An awesome idea, but it would have to be a certain size for our apartment, unfortunately. Not that such a size doesn't exist. I never thought of this! Thanks! I'm going to see what my neighborhood goodwills have :)

Thanks everyone. No, no MVB. Had one for a few days, but I actually got sick from the mercury it was emitting, if that's possible. You really think he looks smooth? That's a relief. I'll definitely get him more sun and calcium, as well as doing the humidity thing over night. I'm...

Here are a bunch of photos of Charli. He is now 1 year old, 2 months, and 17 days old. Yes, I know his birthday :) He is pyramiding, but just 5 days ago I made him his humid hide box and got a cold mist humidifier for the room, keeping the door closed when I'm out. As you can see, the big...

Thank you, Tom. I'll take some pictures this evening. Do you recommend my buying a Zoo med fogger or any of those kinds of things? I am buying a humidifier today and will keep it in his room, door closed. I spray him often. His hide box is made out of cardboard, which I assume is not proper for...

Hello all, My sulcata's tank is in desperate need of more humidity. One of his main lights is in a long lamp, like a mini version of what's above a pool table, so I can't put anything under it and close off the area to create more heat, tho I can at night. In looking into...
