So this post is for anyone (hopefully long time breeders) to post up their stories.
Why did you get into tortoise keeping/ breeding?
How did you start, first tort? Species? Etc.
When did you chose to share your life with these fascinating creatures?
I'll go first , I'm not a breeder and...
Anyone use the inkbird ITC-608T?
How accurate are they?
I have 3 digital temp/humidity, one on each end of the enclosure (flukers)
And one in the center (therm pro)
Now I got the inkbird 608 with temp and humidity probs. They are set in center of the enclosure , problem is how do I know...
Some of the plants I put in the enclosure didnt do so well. Fig they are not likeing the 85° and 85% humidity.
So what grasses or cover plants can take the atmosphere?
Its been a few days and the seed mix I planted in the enclosure started to sprout.
So the hope is that it all grows in nice and thick and Dexter & Atlas will have freedom to munch on what they like .
So I build an enclosure 60x33x28
Works great.
Only concern is if there are enough vents and or if they are big enough. 3-2" vents
Has 3 total. One on each side at bottom and on in center top back wall
I have a 22" arcadia t5 HO uvb light I plan to hang in a new enclosure.
Going to set it at 22" from substrate, and have it run from 11am to 4pm.
Question - is hight and run time ok or should it be lower and still run 12 hrs?
I will have an 18" t8 running from 7am to 730pm.
Enclosure is...
Inuabe seen people with clear zip up hoods ? PE covers?
Over tortoise tables or boxes, essentially creating a closed chamber.
Anyone know where to get one?
60x30
So I bought a Leo hatchling, and a 3 month old.
Just looking for reassurance that I'm doing this for the most part correctly.
The tank is a the large exo terra 36Lx18Dx12H
Replaces the wire mesh top with a plexiglas top I cut , helps with humidity greatly
Under tank heating pad to keep...
