    Bugs in terrarium!

    I was using both at the same time, but I'm not sure which one they came from. I threw everything out and boiled the new stuff in a big pot (lol) and then let it cool and dry before I put it in the enclosure. I've have no problems since.

    Bugs in terrarium!

    I narrowed mine down to reptile bark or the moss I bought. Reptibark has been known to contain mites, so that could be the problem.

    Baby Sulcata Eating

    I just noticed that you're feeding them on what looks like eco earth substrate. It is also possible that he ate some of the substrate and is impacted.

    Baby Sulcata Eating

    What type of UVB bulb are you using? If that is a mini dome fixture, that's not going to work for that size enclosure for either animal. UVB fluorescent fixtures are better, especially for tortoises.

    Baby Sulcata Eating

    It's not a good idea to house two tortoises together, especially different species and sizes. I'd start by separating them and giving him his own tank for now.

    Baby Sulcata Eating

    I'm in Michigan as well! My red foot is still eating normally, but my beard dragon has slowed way down on his activity and food intake. I'd recommend getting at least two thermometers for the tank/cage and a thermal gun to measure specific parts to spot check.

    Bugs in terrarium!

    Are you using reptibark? I had the same problem and I think that is where they came from. They looked like tiny fruit flies. If that's not it, do you have plants in the same room? I know sometimes my plants will have the same tiny bugs around them.

    Baby Sulcata Eating

    Where do you live? If it is getting colder outside, it can be normal for them to cut back on how active they are and how much they eat.

    Plant ID anyone?

    There are a couple apps you can download on your phone that you can use to identify plants and flowers by taking a picture of them.

    Is this Shell Rot on my 7 month old Cherry Head?

    Hello, I have had my cherry head redfoot (Taco) for just over a month now and I noticed that the bottom of his shell has some discoloration and is a little bit soft where the lines meet (I'm not sure what that is called), but I don't know if that is normal for a small, growing tortoise. It does...

    Uv lighting

    Does it say UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certified on it? If not, I would not use it for safety reasons. I recently purchased two ceramic bulbs from Amazon not realizing they were from China and not certified. My husband is a firefighter and said not to use them under any circumstances, so...
