All these are from Dec 20 to yesterday.
I changed some Substrate on the 20th and did a little rearranging and it took most of the day for them to readjust to a few moved things, one being I moved a larger hide to their normal place. Timimt is the tort on top the hide
Yesterday, they had a hard...
Nice, looking really good. Can't believe how much yours have grown. Both of mine are just above or below 20% with a few weeks down to just above 10%. What you been feeding? I usually feed wild plantains but getting harder to find so adding Bok Chow, with dandelions, Collard greens, radish...
I hear people say "Why did you get tortoises? They are just reptiles that lay there!" Little do they know how much we get from our shelled friends!!! And just like dogs and cats, we accept them as our "kids". It's so sad to read these stories about lost friends!! But so good to hear that...
I just got my first tortoises this year and it can seem freighting at times. How do i do this or that. But you came to the right place!!! LOTS of good information here. Glad you got a shelled buddy!
I've been using the Govee sensors. Here is a link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R586J37/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
About $13, so not cheap either but good ratings. I measured the temperature accurately of the temperature with a good thermometer. Its a glass liquid filled one I've had...
YES, I can find very little on keeping them other then from Chris. It is great we can share. Hopefully, there may be a few others out there that find us and can share too!
Here is my temp/hum data for this last week. SA and SB are under basking lamps and warmest areas SC has the coolest temps and close to the water dish and more planted plants.
They are fun tortoises to watch and learn about. Really nice people here with THE most recent GOOD information. Read, study and follow the information given by long term members and your babies will be good. Thanks for joining us! Enjoy!!!
I do on occasion, if working on lights, cleaning or replanting. I am retired and their home is easily see most of the day, and I regularly see them walk through the water dish (drink and or poop in it). So I don't soak as much as I probably should. Humidity levels have been running mid 60's...
Here is my latest data. Been thinking of also saving average temperatures and humidity day/night for those time periods. I already collect it so should be included too I guess.
