I was under the impression he bred and hatched them onsite...he's made comments in our communications that led me to believe this. When I got him, he was 2" long and weighed 27g. He does reference soaking in his care sheet but they aren't in depth at all compared to your care sheet. Within a...

Most definitely!! I do not want any carnage. Both are from Redfoot Ranch and last I weighed him a few days ago he was 67grams ):

Tom's care sheet has been my tort Bible since Squirt was 3mths old. But he is very small for his age and not a voracious eater. I have a Sulcata hatchling and it's night and day difference. The Sulcata eats like a beast, zips around its enclosure, etc. She truly made me realize that something...

He has only ever slept in his indoor enclosure as he is so small for 2yo and im afraid of Raccoons getting to him. He has an outdoor enclosure similar to the one you have with the mesh top that I put him in for natural UV, exercise, etc. I keep his temps and humidity as per your care sheet so...

After reading through some of the posts, I think my 2yo Leo Tort may have an impaction. Not eating, lethargic and I haven't seen him poop in awhile. He does spend some time moat days in an outdoor enclosure and it would be difficult to see poop in there as it is grass and tort seed mix. I...

I will try first thing in the morning. It's so hot here in FL that the flowers wilt or close immediately. Thx!

Hello, I'm in Central Florida and am coming through my yard with scissors (I think of you Tom) looking for weeds to feed my Leo and Sulcata hatchling. I use 2 different plant ID apps but still get nervous as multiple options usually pop up. This weed has a slightly fuzzy texture and gets tiny...

Thank you!

I posted yesterday about my 2yo Leopard Tortoise's gender and from the picture I posted, it was determined he is very small for his size. I started looking around the tortoise health forum and am wondering if my Leopard tortoise might have MBD? I watched some videos and saw photos from other...

I had purchased the 'real' stuff, would soak it to soften it and the little brat would barely eat it. But I will try again and keep trying. I used to mix it with cactus pads bc he does love those. He is an ornery little tort.

We don't have any dogs, 2 cats but they aren't interested in him and he isnt ever out of his indoor enclosure unless he is being held or transported outside. I modeled his outdoor enclosure to yours and he seems to like it. He is out about 10hrs a week and less during rainy season. He never...

Thank you! I looked back at my posts and 4 months after I got him in 2020 I had posted as I was concerned about his size as he was only 30grams and wasn't gaining as quickly as expected. He just seems so lazy. What do I do about the snot bubbles?

Also, he periodically gets snot bubbles and I reduce the humidity and take him in the sun more often until it clears up. What is causing the RI/snot bubbles? I was keeping humidity above 80 but then backed it down bc of the snot bubbles...he does burrow in his outside enclosure dirt and I wonder...

Hello, I've followed this care sheet since I found this site about 2 months after I got him. I don't know what else to do to get more growth? I've been hyper aware of humidity levels and heat temps and he has an enclosed indoor 24x48 enclosure and a 10x10 outdoor. We live in Florida so...

Hello, I was curious if a gender was able to be determined on my 2.5yo Leopard? Thank you!

Thank you very much!

He HAS to feel at least a little better after expelling all if that...(:

I was battling this problem myself. I got a 65 watt incandescent flood light for the basking aide and then have a Nano CHE on a thermostat on the other side that keeps his cool side in the low 80s. I was too cold opposite the 65w and he never went over there but now I'm able to maintain...

I use the LS Mazuri as I have a baby Leopard Tort and don't want a 25lb bag of the 5M21. He eats it very well if I mix in opuntia. I also add some plantain, echinacea and mulberry that I got from Kapidolo.
