I posted this in the canadian section but that section seems pretty dead and I need to figure this out in the next month!

I'm only letting him go because I'm moving and I'm not sure if I can keep him wherever I end up:( He's 3 years old and never has been sick. He has no pyrimiding and has extremely vivid colouring. Extremely healthy, active and eating well. Inquisitive and...
Hi all.
I'm moving my tortoise across the country in a month and unfortunately I won't be able to bring my enclosure along. I'm looking for something that I can set up really quick because I don't want my tortoise to not be in an enclosure (he's small enough still to be good in an indoor...
I have a socket rated for 150W that I want to put a 75W CHE in. Of course if this was just a 75w light I wouldn't be worried but it's a CHE which I assume outputs more heat. The socket ISN'T ceramic but if it's rated for 150W it should be pretty safe right? Is it okay if I put the CHE in?
I'm leaving on the morning on the 29th and coming back on the 31st at noon (but lets say 31st at night just be be safe). so I can feed him on the 29th and refill his water and stuff, but he'll be spending all day on the 30th alone with no food, and possibly until at night on the 31st but i will...
I bought a pretty big bag of mazuri for my tortoise about 9 months ago. Should I replace it now? Is it too old and has it gone bad? It smells fine to me and I keep it in my cellar in an airtight container.
So I keep my tortoise in a huuuuge aquarium, but I want to see if I can give him a little more room (plus I think it would look cool) by adding a second story. Imagine your typical rectangular aquarium. I want to put the second level right in the middle of that rectangle, with ramps leading down...
I live in canada so substrate is a little hard to come by. I'm just wondering if anyone has used this one before or can let me know what they think:

I got a nice 75w CHE yesterday and I'm having trouble because it's so hot. I put it in a ceramic socket and tied that to a light diffuser panel with zip ties. I also cover the top of my enclosure with garbage bags to keep in humidity. The CHE is very hot to the touch (burning) and it makes the...
I'm going about 3 hours away for 3 days (2 nights), i'll be gone saturday morning and come back monday at ~6pm. My question is should I find someone to take care of my redfoot while i'm gone or will he be okay? His lights come on and off automatically! My redfoot is around 7 months and I have a...
Hey so I got a new enclosure for my redfoot and I noticed that my temps are 81 degrees at the hotter parts and mid-high 70s on the colder parts. Is this okay or should I try and increase the temperature? The redfoot is ~7 months old!
Hi! I've got a 60gal aquarium for my baby redfoot, and it's been really hard to get temps/humidity high so I decided to cover the top with a screen and the cover the screen with some plastic. My question now is that there is obviously now going to be very restricted airflow in the aquarium. I've...
I have a 5month old redfoot in a 60 gallon aquarium that'll hopefully last him until I l move back to my hometown. My question is, does he have enough air in there? I keep it a closed chamber (egg crate sealed with clear plastic garbage bags and I open it once a day to feed and bathe him...
Just wondering because he mostly digs a little bit into the ground and chills there for the entire day unless I pick him up and take him out of his enclosure (then he becomes much more curious and starts exploring). But other than that he only moves to eat while in his enclosure. is this normal...
Got this guy earlier this year and just got around to putting pictures up now. He lives in my tiny room (I'm in university) and shares the room with my aquarium too. How is the enclosure? He's 3 1/2 inches :)
suggestions are definitely welcome! And yes... the sight blockers are cutting boards.
I'm going home over the winter for a month and I'm trying to take my tortoise with me... but I'm not sure how to get the required documentation or what the process is. I'm just going to be travelling within canadian borders so if anyone has experience with that let me know please! :)
before I get crucified, let me explain. I have an essentially full container of zoomed's gourmet aquatic turtle food (that's the name) that I bought when I babysat some turtles. I bought way too much and I'm wondering if I can give it to my redfoot tortoise sometimes as a source of protein, in...
