She does have a sulcata tortoise if this helps... it’s a very peculiar situation

Any ideas on what this could be for this poor tort? Sounds rather unusual. Trying to help out a member on facebook who is apart of the same group as me. Similar to this forum.

Great, thank you!

I like fresh parsley on my pizza from the garden outback! xD I did not even know that lettuce has sugar.. or carbs? I am from the Greater Philadelphia area, in Abington PA

Love when they do this!

Good to know. Definitely will not be providing that as an in moderation part of my russians diet!

I was opting out of fruit for my tortoises. My Russian is strictly on a leafy greens diet with no sugar (fruits added) Do you consider Bell Peppers (green) to be considered a fruit?

I already do lettuces with kapidolo's dry herb mixes for my Russian along with fresh dandelion/weeds. I am currently trying to grow some pansys and aloe for my Russian. The only hibiscus plants I can get a hold of are fertilized from lowes, home depot. (Which I know is a NO NO) Western...

I have generated a food list for my western- add or comment if you agree/disagree with the list. Or what you believe to only be in moderation. Watercress Leafy Lettuce Dandelion Cabbage Carrots Cauliflower Parsley Bell Pepper Kale Clover Corriander Parsnip Broccoli Grasses & Weeds

Where is your lighting system? What are you using?

And flood bulbs emit heat? So, what i should look for is a 65 watt non led flood bulb?

@Tom What type of overhead? A 65 watt flood bulb is equivalent to using a 100 watt basking light at a pet store to get the ambient temps you need? Depending on where the light is placed.

So the basking light does no emit heat correct?

Does it have to be a 10” dome for the lower wattage flood bulbs? I have a regular medium sized ceramic dome fixture. Would that work?

I ordered a WH from Chris too! When you paid for your tort, about how long did it take until you recieved her?

what type of edible plants are you using in the enclosure? Just curious. I have a Western Hermanns on the way in June!

Hello! I noticed you have a Western Hermann's tort? Possible. I would like to know what you use for his/her diet. Looks like you mix in some muzuri in there as well. I am expecting one in June.

@Tom For a 65 watt or low wattage flood bulb are they safe to put in a ceramic dome shaped fixture? Are flood bulbs safe? I would assume using the higher wattage flood bulbs seem more of a fire hazard in ceramic domes.. but I am also not an expert. Please advise!

65 WATT BASKING BULB FROM THE PET STORE, WOULD THAT BE FINE? OR IS FLOOD BULB DIFFERENT

I am expected to receive mine mid-late June. Mine is a summer order! Super excited.
