    Bulb keeps turning off?

    Sorry, quick typing right now to tend to sick child. I've never experienced this before until this morning. My bulb is in the same lamp it's always in. I think it's an 11-ish inch dome with the ceramic and it is face down. It keeps wanting to go out. I have to unplug the fixture for a few...

    Uhh.. Can there be too much humidity?

    Let me start off by explaining the situation. We finally finished building our baby (Sulcata) a more suitable indoor enclosure after being indecisive about a lot of things. At last, I am pretty content with it. I do have one question though. It is essentially a large wooden box. I believe during...

    What are these?

    Sorry, total plant newbie here. I was just outside and noticed what i'm guessing is a weed. Accidentally pulled the whole thing out instead of the top flowers. And then we have this medium sized bush by our driveway that gives off these flowers periodically for months. I was just curious...

    Hydrokable Heating Cable

    Doing a little research on the best way to heat my under construction outdoor "closed chambers" style enclosure for winter time and came across this. The wooden box will be insulated between the outer wood and the interior plywood and I wanted to do a waterproof paint finish on the inside...

    Sorry if this appears to be a dumb question. Everything temp/humidity wise seems to be really good. I have noticed some nights when the humidity drops a little, he prefers sleeping under the lamp. When the humidity is high (90s), he prefers to sleep in his "rock" hide. Tonight he decided to goto...

    Plants, Humidity & Heating Pad

    I recently purchased several plants that I was going to plant out in the yard for my tortoise to eat on whenever I take him out (he's still very young) and just bring him some clippings for his feedings. I went ahead and put the Day Lily in the ground and the Aloe Vera and other succulent in a...

    Our little one has arrived and..

    He/she looks wonderful & was still sleepy when I took him out before soaking him but he is just cruising around now. Since he is only 2-3 inches long at the moment, our current temporary set up is a large rubbermaid container until I can get a nice big table built for him before I feel it's safe...
