Akadama (赤玉土 akadamatsuchi, red ball earth) is a naturally occurring, granular clay-like mineral used as soil for bonsai trees and other container-grown plants.
Has anyone ever used or heard of anyone using it as a tortoise substrate?
Thanks.
Ok, if I decide to go that route, I’d most likely go with the 8’x36” one, hopefully to get more bang for my buck. But, I think I could build something myself and save a ton of money! lol.
Hi.
I have my Leopard hatching in a large cement mixing tub that I purchased from Home Depot. I’m wanting to enclose the habitat to better maintain heat & humidity.

Hello all.. I’m fairly new to Leopard torts, and I’ve been doing some research on the two subspecies. I know that there are a few differences between the two (size, behavior, growth rate etc..). But, what is the size difference of a full grown PP to that of Babcocki? Pictures showing the size...
I placed an order for a Leopard Tortoise hatchling. I’m very pleased with the customer service! I requested a specific Leopard and without any fuss Mr. Hermes was delighted fulfill my request!
The tort come in this morning. He’s doing and looking great! A+!
I probably won’t need the hole. And thanks! I’m definitely excited and looking forward to seeing him grow and flourish.
Thanks for all of the great advice!
