    Eliza or Pepperoni?

    Hi all! I hope 2022 is treating you well! I’m happy to report that Pepperoni (or Eliza) is officially thriving. Thanks again for all the help almost three years ago! Anyways! I think they’re big / old enough to determine sex, and I was hoping for some help, as my fiancé and I aren’t 100%...

    Mold or Bugs?

    The other morning I went to mist Pepperoni’s enclosure and noticed this white fuzzy-webby like stuff in a few places. It is not visible when dry, looks cleared up until misted. Is this some sort of spider issue? Mold? We just added some new substrate… we rinsed it, but now I’m kicking myself for...

    Eliza Pepperoni Update

    Hi all — Been awhile! I hope you’re all safe, healthy, and happy! By glancing over the few posts in this sub-forum, I’m guessing lil Pepperoni is still too small to determine sex. When I started here, I worried we’d lose them, I couldn’t get them about 50-75g. They’re now at 225, and...

    Bugs in the Tort Tank

    Hi everyone - I have searched the forum quite a bit and have a feeling these are likely non-harmful bugs, but would like confirmation, if possible. It's pretty hard to get a photo of them, so hopefully this video will work... Last night I bought some pillbugs to help with population control...

    Food Shopping / Soaking Tote Update :]

    Hi everyone -- I hope y'all are having a good weekend! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this - I am tending to stay with the Leopard Tort sub-forum for now, although I'm exploring a bit more each day. Please feel free to direct me to a more appropriate sub-forum and delete this one if...

    Many Thanks & A Few Questions

    I just wanted to post and say thanks to the friendly people who helped me on my last post! Pepperoni is doing very well, eating like a little monster now that we've got the tank covered, the humidity up to 80% continuously, and the temps where they should be! We went ahead and purchased a...

    Introduction / New Leopard - Food Aversion

    Hi everyone -- I'm Anne from Indianapolis, IN. Let me start by saying that the internet is vast and full of misinformation re: tortoise keeping. So I've come here to a place where after reading posts for an afternoon it seems the information is consistent and people are successful using it...
