I am looking to build my 2.5 year old leopard tortoise an outside enclosure for pretty much permanent living (unless temps get extreme). He is going to be about 4 feet from my ac unit outside that goes on every now and then and is a loud humming. Could this possibly bother my tortoise? Also any...
No this seems to be my problem! I have one of those really nice sprayers from Home Depot that people use weed spray and bug spray in so it does a solid soaking but I’m realizing it’s only getting the surface level which is probably my issue. Thanks to you and Barb I’m going to be actually...
Yeah it was a hard game I was playing cuz when I lowered the light the average temp over everything went up 1-2 degrees ? I could also try raising his lil rock and putting some coco under it as a lil mound that might work
Awesome thank you!! When I get the basking a lil higher the area around it goes above 90 as well? Is that okay? And the warm side gets to 85/86 during the day then.
I can move my Che’s thermostat from 79-82 to 80-83 and I think that will fix that issue
Lights are 100w Che placed on the thermostat only goes on at 79 and off at 82 for night time. The other one is a 65w floor bulb just a normal dura max one. The back is a T5. His temps stay from 83/85 on the cool side - 88/90ish on the warm side during the day and 79-82 during the night time...
Thank you for the input! That is super strange to me since he was born and raised on hay in a dry horse watering thing before getting to me and since then I have had him in a green house with humidity above 60 at all times usually around 70. I’ll get some pictures up on this post in a little...
I’ve tried :( he doesn’t eat the hibiscus leaves I cut up or the grass mix I grew and it’s been pretty hard to get/grow anything here in the Arizona summer. That’s why I’ve been adding in some spineless cactus bc I heard that was good and has been growing well for me. I do occasionally add in...
I purchased my lil guy (or girl) from a reptile shop back in April and was told he could be anywhere from 3-6 months old. He is a leopard tortoise and when we got him he weighed 44grams :) he was also raised in a dry environment so I’m not sure if that stunted his growth..
I have now had him...
pictures and details on the comments on Reddit!
short version he has grown from 44 grams - 250 grams in 6 months and I’ve never heard or seen anyone else with a story like that ?
Okay so based on that I’m not sure I have either ….. :/ only a few of them actually fly around, there is always just a few little tiny black things flying around almost fly looking. Then when I mix around the soil you see all these little tiny whitish dots moving around everywhere back under the...
Thank you! I can get another pic up later :) the first one is coming up as “pigweed” whatever that is I tried googling it and it looks kinda different :/ the second one didn’t come up at all
