Anthony32, thank you! I am quite proud of how it came out. :)
Welcome to the forum! I also live in sunny, humid Georgia and have a Russian tortoise named Higgins. :)
You don't by chance work at Zoo Atlanta, do you? My husband is conducting some research there so we are frequent visitors.
I don't have a strong opinion either way. My plan is to see what my tortoise wants to do when winter starts rolling around. I had a bearded dragon for 10 years and that is a species that also brumates (though their temps can't go as low as a tortoise). She brumated most years but occasionally...
Hmm, okay. It's a strip light UV, which is good, but it will need changing soon (they usually need replacing every 6 months). :)
I agree with the suggestion to reorient the heat bulb. Maybe he is just not getting warm enough?
Woah, you have had him for 15 years? I love to hear things like this! I know someone through the various BTS forums who has had her girl for 17 years. Gotta love the 'old' reptiles. :) My husband's boa made it to age 21; he was bought as a baby when the husbeast was just 12 years old.

Thanks! :) Meraukes are basically a subspecies of the IJs. Some people in the hobby don't believe there's a difference but Meraukes tend to have a set of characteristics that sets them apart from many IJs, IMO. But that's not why I bought her; I think all the blue tongue species are just...
Thank you, everyone! I am really pleased with how it turned out, and Higgins seems to love it. :) The only thing he didn't like were the potted plants, which I moved since he was fixated on knocking them over. When they're big enough to safely plant, I'll put them directly into the substrate...
I still need to do a proper intro post for my Russian tort, Higgins, but I am just so excited to finally have this enclosure done that I am going to share it with y'all. :)
The design concept was all my husband's and he did a lot of the drilling/heavy lifting. It's taken us much longer than we...
My local animal control called me to pick these cuties up. They seem to be in pretty good shape and came with a number of supplies (food, filters, tank cleaner, etc) but no tank. I am not set up for long term care of aquatics so I am looking to rehome these wee ones as soon as possible.
I'm in...
