Sooo..... I've built my first heated night box for my leopards (with my husbands help :)). It was our first time building anything really. It wasn't too bad thanks to Tom and Heather's threads. There were a few mistakes we made but somehow made them work out. I'll point them out in this thread...

We're going to be building our tort house on Wednesday. It's going to be a combination of Tom's design and Heather's design. After re-reading both threads completely I have a question that might seem silly.... Why is there a metal heat shield only on the top (ceiling) of where the mini oil...

Whoever said tortoises are addicting wasn't lying! I got Cloudy a year ago, about a month ago I got Bumble Bee (from Heather), and last week I got Beach. Cloudy is now 15 months old and has gone from being 42g to 200g in a year. He's around 4 inches long. Bumble Bee is 2 years old...

Does anyone know what kind of tortoise this is? Someone found it in the backyard and asked if I knew but I don't... I did tell them not to give it lettuce.

I've tried google but I'm still not sure what these weeds are. 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: This last one isn't a weed but a vine along our back wall. It has yellow flowers

I hope I can word this right: what is the highest cool temp for a leopard's indoor enclosure. I know the lowest recommended is about 80, but what about the maximum for the cool side? What if the cool side's temp was 85, 90, etc? What is the highest you guys think would be okay for the cool...

So I still have a long time until Cloudy can live outside all day. He's a 4 month old leopard, so he lives inside and has some outside time every day. However, I've started thinking about what we are going to do for when he does live outside. I want him to have a wood house that we would build...

Today I noticed my new leopard tortoise (4 months old) blew a bubble out of one nostril. I watched him for a while and he blew another one a few minutes later. I kept watching and the bubbles stopped. So all together I saw him blow 2 bubbles out of the same nostril. Could this be a...

Hello! I have been wanting a tortoise for years and I finally got a leopard tortoise on 07/05/2013. I am super excited and yet at the same time very nervous. Cloudy is only 3 months old! I have been reading about tortoises for years (ever since I started longing for one) but now that I...
