My sulcata seems to like his heated hide, but he doesn't put himself to bed. Will he always need me to tuck him in and read a bedtime story, or will he eventually, with lots of repition put himself to bed?
I know a nightlight helped me at first. :p
Hello. I was buying some grain to start begin my winter feeding schedule for my horse.
If you don't care about horses skip to *********************
I like to feed her soaked beet pulp (I try to get unsweetened with molassas), that's soaked with warm water. I like to give this to her on days...

Has anyone tried insulating a calf hutch (like dairy farmers use) for use as an insulated/heated hide? Commercially, insulation isn't made for them.
A dairy farmer went out of business near me. I be I could get a good deal on a calf hutch. I could cover the vent holes and door for the winter...
Today is chilly. I’m wearing a light jacket in my office. It is only 79degrees outside. Complete cloud cover. 71% humidity. My weather app says it feels like 84degrees outside.

Hi. I was hand feeding my sulcata a hibiscus leaf. He stuck out his head and bit farther than I expected him to. He nipped my finger. (BTW my sulcata is ~10in in length)
I know I have seen lots of people wondering what it would feel like, but were unwilling to offer themselves up as tribute.

I was in town for some errands. I drove by a nursery that I hadn't checked before. I turned around, and drove in. They had two mulberry trees left! One was healthy but puny. The good one was $20. I asked if I took them both if he'd give me a deal. Now I have two mulberry trees for $25!
Hi. I am starting to store dried flowers in jars for the dearth of winter. I thought I’d share a tip I learned from beekeeping. Before jarring your dried flowers, wash and dry your mason jars. Then put the jars into the oven for a few minutes, until they’re warm to barely-hot. This gets them...
Hi. One famous tortoise Youtuber says he throws whole oyster shells in his tortoise enclosures for them to self feed for calcium, like a cuddle bone. Is this a good idea? I had some oyster shells. I washed them off, then put them in a fireant bed for a week, for them to get off of the rest of...
