    ? about the PowerSun

    Do you really have to change these bulbs out after using for 12 months? I mean - does it really stop putting out UVB after 12 months of continuous use? My Russian's Powersun reached a ripe old age of 14 months of use this month. I haven't changed it because my Russian is really lazy in the...

    Scammed!?! (update - Not scammed!!)

    I saw a post on here in the "for sale" section for Tortoise Cafe for mazuri. The prices were good with free shipping so I thought I'd try them out. I ordered on December 23 and the site said it would ship within one business day. Checked my order today and it still says "pending". So I went...

    Tortoise Cafe

    Has anyone ever ordered Mazuri from the Tortoise Café? I ordered from them for the first time on Dec 23 after reading a post for them here on the Tortoise Forum. Their post said the food would ship within 1 business day, however, my order still says pending status and my card has been charged...

    Heat Cords

    What type of heat cord should I get for my 1 year old leopard tort? Brand, how many feet, how many watts, any info would be a huge help. Amazon has some killer deals on these right now so I think I'm going to try one out, just don't want to buy the wrong size/wattage. My lil leo is in a 2 1/2 ft...

    Saran Wrap

    I have two Zoo Med tortoise houses hooked together for my one year old leo. For humidity (since I can't find a humidifier that doesn't break in a month or less) I wrap the top lids with seran wrap. I use a PowerSun on one side where there's an opening in the lid, and on the other side I use a...

    2 yr old Eastern Box Turtle

    Due to an unfortunate, unforeseen circumstance, I have to let my 2 yr old eastern boxie, Creature, go. I found someone to house my two tortoises, but no one to foster my boxie until my situation gets better. See pics below - I'm asking $75.00 plus shipping.

    Monthly Contests

    Is there a photo contest every month? If so are the monthly photo contests typically posted mid to late month each month? I can't wait to see what the new theme will be. I really want to be able to enter a pic :D

    Should I release her?

    I bought a two year old (not really even sure if she's two, as she has so much color on her) Eastern boxie around a month ago. The person I bought from said she was very friendly. However, her personality has proved totally the opposite. She was very dirty when she arrived and I have to wonder...

    Warning Level?

    Out of curiosity, why do I have a "Warning Level 0%" when I submit posts. I don't see it on anyone else's posts.

    What type of feeder fish can I feed my 3 year old Eastern box turtle that are easily available at a pet store? I've been feeding her feeder goldfish since I got her four days ago, but have heard feeder goldfish are high in fat. And I can't get her to take any interest in any greens. I plan on...

    Tube Light w/correct UVB output for Leopard

    I currently use a Powersun, but it leaves half the enclosure a little too dark and my little guy doesn't explore that side..........so I want to add a tube light. Which one gives out the proper UVB for a Leopard tort that's 1 1/2 years old?

    Biting

    I have two leopard tortoises - one is just over a year old and the other around 4 months old. I've soaked them together, kind of like an introduction, and caught the older one sniffing the younger's arms/legs, and then going in for the chomp. The older one loves mazuri - is it possible he is...
