Just wanted to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads on TF! Hope y’all have a great day.

Thanks Willee, yeah I thought it would be a good idea to get them at the same time to raise together. I’m excited to watch these guys grow and provide them the best life possible.

Hey Yvonne, yes in my house it’s a nice cool 72 and minimal humidity lol ? I keep them outside though. Only pets my wife allows inside are her 3 African Greys and our dog. Maybe when the kids get a bit older and out grow their play room I can turn that into a tortoise room, maybe even a part of...

Thanks! Yes it’s crazy how the my eat like little machines. They are much more active then my red foot hatchlings. And he/she is beautiful!

Going to make me order 4 more! Lol That sounds like a better idea anyways :). And yes I have a EtekCity temp gun. Hope that ones good, it seems to give pretty accurate temps.

This is on the cool side. Going to order two more to have in warm side. I moved them back and forth every two hours and numbers did go up even more on “hotter” side.

@Krista S they got here early this morning ? I’ll keep a close eye on it and make sure everything looks good. First 10 hours the numbers look good.

@TeamZissou https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0872X4H4J/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 Is this the Govee hydrometer you’re talking about? Or do you recommend the Accurite

Thanks for those links! I’ll definitely give that care sheet a read through as well. Also ordering one of the better humidity gauges as we speak. How would one of those close chamber enclosures fair outside? That’s the only road block I’m seeing in my case, as I’m not keeping them inside the...

Sterant says for hatchlings he drops night temps to 70 degrees. On that end I’m not worried especially here during summer. but I will definitely get a better humidity ready and keep a close on it.

I’ll look into the Accurite and Govee gauges for sure then. And for now yes, I have these three and three red foots(both separate boxes). I planned on making them a bigger table after they hit a year to last them till they could move to the 40’x30’ enclosures they’ll live in. My wife has allowed...

Tom you have any pictures of some of your closed chamber enclosures? I searched up an older post by you in 2011 but the pictures weren’t there anymore :/ Also, in a closed chamber how do you manage airflow? I put two humidity readers in the tortoise box just for peace of mind originally, I’m...

Hey @Tom, thanks for the feed back. Everything I’ve read says around 80-85% humidity, is that what you recommend as well? I am in Miami, humidity down here has been around 75-85% consistently and temps in their table is around 80-82 in the cool side and 85-90 on the warmer side. I’ve read over...

Over the weekend we added 3 Radiated hatchlings to the family! They are about a month and a half, and as rambunctious as they get. So active and feeding like little monsters. We picked them up from Ryan at @Southernreptiles He was awesome and very helpful giving me a thorough walk through since...

That’s great to know. And no worries our puppy is in the house and the front half of our back yard. I have a fence dividing the back half where all the tortoise enclosures will be. I didn’t mean to get this topic of puppies and torts going lol. I meant is as a joke saying Suki can just teach my...

@Jan A hey! Yeah I have seen the threads. I keep them safely away from each other. Especially that our schnauzer is still somewhat a puppy.

Ed never mind I found it! Beautiful and simple set up, love it. Really like the misting/rain system as well. Ah I can’t wait for these babies to grow some and get them in a similar set up. And Zuki just casually strolling by lol maybe our schnauzer can learn to chill out from Zuki ?

Zero thank you for taking the time for this write up! Appreciate it big time. I will definitely PM you and exchange contacts. What is your YouTube channel so I can subscribe and watch that video of your enclosures? Would love to copy them and hopefully replicate the same success, they are going...

@wellington ill run to the Whole Foods by me tomorrow morning! And I’ll definitely keep an eye out on the forum. Appreciate the help :)
