Hatched 4/25/20, and I’ve had him since he was 15 days old... He’s spent his 1st yr in a @Markw84 ’Smart Enclosure’,~one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!
I'm so excited! I received my Burmese Star Baby, this morning. I cannot brag enough on @Markw84. Backstory.... I got my first Tortoise last year; an Eastern Hermann's. I raised him from a 2 week hatchling in a "Smart Enclosure" I purchased from Mark. My Hermann's thrived in the enclosure for...

Hello TFO Friends,
I haven't posted in a while, but I am on here almost daily; reading and learning. Pluto, my little Eastern Hermann's will be 4 months old on 8/24/20. I've had him since he was 6 weeks old. His previous enclosure was a 3'L x 2'W x 2'6"H plastic container with full lighting...

Hi... I’m a newbie, and following this thread since I too am considering investing in a large custom closed chamber and bioactive kit from’The Biodude’. I read on another thread by Tom that he uses ‘Animal Plastics’ closed chamber? I’m debating on the two; waiting for the experienced experts to...
