Awesome links! Seems like you had the same questions I had about leopard tortoises! I’ll read all the links and see if I can’t find my answer there. Thanks a million!

Thank you! That one is definitely different then his siblings. Thanks for the info. I’ve had them for about 6 months…just got something to accurately read my temp and humidity. My temps are around 90 and 100 basking while my humidity is at 100%. Is there any harm with 100% humidity?

It’s not very noticeable on camera. First two are normal. Last 3 are the “flared”. You can barely see the sides flare out just a little bit. You can feel it better then you can see it. They’re still small so I guess my question is will this enhance as they get larger or will it just fade away...

Ask and you shall receive. I’ll take some right away with their daily soaking in a minute.

So I have 7 leopard tortoises from 3 different breeders. My first 5 tortoises were all very similar. However, the last breeder, their leos have different physical characteristics vs the other leos. The leos bottom scutes are flared out. Like when I carry the new leos I can feel the shells...

The lights don’t hang in the enclosure they’re outside so it’s 15 inches from the basking area. The basking temp is around 80-100 while ambient temps have been around 70-90 The plan is to build something taller where I can put the lamps inside and buy a thermometer that will turn on and off...

It’s a 5’x2’x15”(how big is recommended?) closed chamber...for the most part. Humidity is high enough to get condensation on the covers. But my lights are outside the container so most of my heat is escaping. I was planning on building an 8-12’x4’ enclosure soon. How big would you recommend? I...

Hi all my name is Khanh (pronounced con) and this is my first post to this wonderful forum. Second time tortoise owner. First time was decades ago and after reading a lot I have been upgrading my enclosures over and over. Almost to the perfect enclosure...but for now it’s doing the job even if...
