    Significant of Microclimates in Captivity

    In case this point of my post needed clarification, with additional care sheet for beginners I meant that it is a great read for people who want to become tortoise owners in terms of what factors to consider when setting your tortoises up and engaging with your pet, that go beyond buying an MVB...

    Significant of Microclimates in Captivity

    The first post is a great additional "care sheet" for beginners. I just lately started to research soil types and will still need some time to figure that out. I see a problem on how to actually get reliable and exhaustive information on the microclimates of some species. Probably, planting...

    Glad the eggs survived the moves and two of them hatched so far. Congrats! The names are cool, too.

    Turtoise or a Tortle??

    Do all Hingebacks do that? Or just erosas? This is really cool piece of info.

    Hallo Hinges (pic heavy)

    Thanks Heather, finally back to the tort world, and with such great torts :D They are a bit sleepy today, wonder why. Their temps are alright. Maybe they just take a day off or are NYE hungover :P ________________________________________________________ Lol, never mind, I placed mushrooms close...

    What is the physiology behind pyramiding?

    Could you share those measurements and the specs? Or have you already and I missed something-if so, sorry.

    What is the physiology behind pyramiding?

    I rather meant that they only really disclose quantitative data on protein and humidity, without taking other measurements on the "identical conditions". (you explained that well already, lilacdragon) The Iben and Wiesner paper mention different POV about pyramiding and the possible connection...

    Infrared - sunlight vs. basking lamps

    Apologies for responding so late,especially because this is in response to a question I posed. I did not see this thread and thought my question just disappeared from the radar. Thank you very much for the extensive and comprehensible answer. So, IR-A is vital to warm up the tortoise, but not...

    What is the physiology behind pyramiding?

    Thats what I meant that nobody is just antagonizing for the sake of antagonizing here. Neither you nor anyone else. Sorry if that was unclear, I am referring to the Iben and Wiesner study. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/attachment.php?aid=32499 You asked what we think about the...

    What is the physiology behind pyramiding?

    I understand, but then isn't it a good thing that people also challenge facts that you give, amateur or not? Whats the problem with them to say "oh, I heard otherwise" or "I came to a different conclusion". Has nothing to do with being dumb. Pointing then out the flaws in their interpretations...

    What is the physiology behind pyramiding?

    Jaa, too bad it was opened up to the plebs. Dunno what I dislike more, rude (!) disregard of other peoples opinions and experiences or cultural/civilizational pessimism. Majority of people isn't dumb, people just have different backgrounds. I understand that you approach studies like this...

    Hallo Hinges (pic heavy)

    I have had my two Nogueyis for 2 days now and they seem to do quite okay. Fairly active, despite the move. They haven't eaten so much yet, but I guess thats just fair. Their favourites seem to be worms and mushrooms and pepper, but I try to get them used to dried weeds, wild flower petals and...
