Today marks the first anniversary for Tiddles. Last year on June 1st, I picked up well started Tiddles from @G-stars and the whole family was thrilled about this new member! He (presumably a "he") hatched February 25, 2019 so he's about 15-mo now. Here are some photos from beginning of the...

@method89 - yes I am happy with the enclosure. I did have to tape off majority of the vent on the side to keep the humidity up to the level that I desire but it's not hard for a not-so-handy person like myself at all. I expect my Tiddles to be able to have enough room for at least another couple...

I've never used either but my understanding is Alibaba is more of a B2B platform. That's why you would need to buy in bulk. AliExpress on the other hand is a B2C platform owned by Alibaba so retail customers like you and I would go to AliExpress as opposed to Alibaba. I could be wrong though as...

300ml is the capacity. Size in the photo is just relative to what's in the surroundings I would think.

It’s 4*2*2

My Tiddles is a Burmese Star not a Sully but I believe all species need higher humidity when they are babies than when they are fully grown. I got my fogger from Amazon. I had a manual one but later on bought this one with timer and app control and smart device definitely works better than the...

Just an interesting observation - I am not sure if it's specific to my baby, Tiddles, who's 6 months old at the moment or it's common. He hides majority of the time like a lot of the hatchlings do. However whenever the fogger goes off and the whole enclosure becomes super foggy that's when he's...

I have the 48" version. My prior setup was about 33" so I figured if I was upgrading I might as well go much bigger than the old one.

@cdumitru78 - I am not sure what kind of source you plan to use for maintaining ambient temperature but you need to mindful about using CHE. The product description says its incandescent ceramic light fixture cannot hold CHE otherwise there could potentially be fire hazard. I called the company...

This is my baby Burmese star tortoise, Tiddles. He's (I know sex can't be determined yet but I got a sense he's a he :P) one of @G-stars 's babies. Weighed 40g at 3 months just a week before I received him and now he's 5 months old at 57g.

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has looked at products like this link below. It is mainly written in Chinese but does have some short English description (if you need translation I am happy to assist). I would like to purchase directly from the site plus arranging overseas shipping myself to...

Hi there, I live in Orange County in Southern California. I understand there are many credible breeders who ship tortoise to different states but is there any good local breeder that I can visit first? Also I am interested in Hermanns because of their relative smaller size in adult age. Is...
