I used the coco coir for a while, mixed with soil, and it was such a mess to keep up with. It was heavy and the coir stuck to everything. She likes the mulch okay.. doesn't dig in it as much as she did the soil and coir though. =/
I do like the idea of having little bugs that help keep mold...
So, I switched to cypress mulch a couple weeks ago, and now I notice around the center of the enclosure, under the fogger where it's the most moist, there are hundreds of these really tiny white bugs running around. From what I've read on here, they're either woodlice or springtails or...
Yes, the green hose is coming from a humidifier that sits to the left of her enclosure. I want to replace the hose with some clear tubing so I can run it along the back and punch some holes in it so it comes out all across, rather than dumping in one place.
And thanks! We love her. =]

I live in Oklahoma, so it's mostly pretty dry. Also, I live in an apartment for now. I went with a 50 gal storage bin. I'll post pics when I get it all together.
Just a rough sketch I just drew up, for how I kinda envision the enclosure to come out in the long run. It will take me prob a couple weeks to get the things I need, but it will hopefully be the last change for a while. It doesn't show it, but the tub is about 2.5' long, and about 2' wide at...
RE: Differences between red-foot and yellow-foots
Yeah I started to rethink it a little, since Calypso has zero red on her, but the scales on her head give it away. She's definitely a red. =]
I found TF by good guess. I was speaking with a friend who keeps bearded dragons about things like temps and humidity, and she said being on a forum helped her a lot, so I typed in "tortoiseforum.com" and boom. Here I am.
