    Smoking Marijuana in the same room

    Tortoises need freshest air possible & ALL your attention . In captivity YOU are their only key to survival. They will die & then it's so sad forever.

    Hello, my name is Chris, (female). I have 2 Herman tortoises called Molly and Eric,

    Obviously Eric has been being a complete annoying jerk. :rolleyes::tort: (I have a young female- I think? Hermann,named Tootsie). She is wonderful. :<3:

    What is a CHE?

    That is what I am using for my leopard hatchling. I have him in a 36X 18 terrarium with a powersun for day and the 50 watt CHE for night sitting on top of screen on a timer..seems to be maintaining temps & humidity perfectly.

    How active should they be?

    Can I ask how do you present hay to her? Do you soften or it chop it up?I have tried to get my older one (9 years) to start eating orchard hay,but probably should've started earlier but he won't touch it. He likes cactus and greens mostly & plantains.

    juvenile leopard humidity level?

    Hi! Your set up looks exactly like mine,down to the adorable leopard baby. Only diff is I don't have any plants in there. I tried that at first but they started dying I assume from the lighting or humidity so I removed them. It makes more room for baby to walk around anyways I guess,but I do...

    Hi there!

    Thanks! He eats quite a bit,but mainly just when it's really hot outside. During winter he sort of hibernates (indoors) and doesn't eat much at all.. He eats a lot of weeds & grass and I was last summer feeding him corn on cob (which he loves) till I found out it's bad for him so he doesn't get...

    Hi there!

    Hi. Well,he smokes a lot of weed. Naa,just kidding :cool: Actually no particular reason..there's a local country music singer around here named that and I just thought it was cute. These big tortoises sorta look like a huge stone when they are sitting still in the yard. It is hard to come up...
