Hi, sorry for those repeats. I was trying to respond from my phone to no avail apparently. This is within my reptile room and is quite warm for background temp. At this point 86-90 by day just from the heat of the day. By Oct it should be an even 83 by day background temp which makes a basking...

Hi thank you very much. It is too wet now. I will add some more peat moss. That should dry it out. I will still hook up the misting system but only over part. These are babies like 2 inches and 2.5 inches [hr] [hr] [hr]

Hi, I am cross posting this in the hopes to get some responses by tomorrow when the tortoises arrive. I am setting up a new indoor enclosure for two baby elongateds and would like some advice. It seems they hide a lot and dont like bright light? I have a photo at...

Hi all, I have a huge bittersweet and nightshade problem around my outdoor tortoise enclosure. It has only gotten worse the more we chop the stuff down. We cant get to the root apparently. My question that I cant seem to find the answer to is, if I were to use something awful awful awful like...

Good question. I can't find too many references to it online... It seems that scorpion people are talking about it the most. Perhaps I will just go with the top soil/sand mix. I hate how dirty it is tho. Unless you keep it wet it is very dusty and gross in my opinion... Thanks.

Hi all, I have had my pancake "babies" (almost a year old) on a tile/newspaper substrate for some time now. I want to use something that maybe makes them feel more comfortable to come out more. (something a bit more natural.) They rarely bask and hide all the time (which I think is fairly...

She was doing the front foot digging under a hide in her normal enclosure. She might have dug a bit in the new one under the hide. I have certainly seen her laying in a homemade hole outdoors usually under a bush. I just never really saw how she did it. Thanks! Carole

Fishkill is pretty far from here, (Hartford, CT). Has anyone used Dr. Laurie Hess who I have heard of but no first hand experience. She is pretty far too in Westchester County, NY but closer than Fishkill. I used to drive 1.25 hours to see Dr. Charlie Innis in Westboro, MA but alas he is gone...

Hi, the vet "helped" her lay the eggs. She was xrayed and had bloodwork done. 4 eggs showed up on xray. He gave her oxytocin. They wouldnt fit out so he broke each one as it came out and she got rid of them all that way. I assume she was too small to be producing eggs at that point. So she is...

Hi, she hates tne nice nest box I made :( AND it has a lip she doesnt want to step over. I am going to wait a day or two and then most likely take everything out of the enclosure, install a tarp and then put in soil for the substrate all over. It will be more like "outside" then.

Awesome, thanks. I have a rubbermaid that I use for the dragons when they have infertile eggs these days. Even has a hole in the side covered with duct tape. Will work perfectly! Thanks again, Carole www.reptilecare.com

Hi all, I have had Cocoa since she was a hatchling in 1996. I have never seen/heard her trying to dig before today... Eggs? I hope not. She had egg laying issues some 6-7 years ago and had to have them "removed" by a vet. The removal is a long story... anyway, she WAS with a male up until he...
