so what temps are the very lowest I can start getting the baby (sulcatta) outside??? I know Digger (my RT) can go out now in the mid 60's to 70"s, but I am more cautious for my sulcatta...he is now 8 months old and enclosed raised so I want to be perfect on this one!!! Thanks all....happy spring!!!
Hello.... Digger has had his baths every two to three days.... I have two heat lamps over his open table and he gets a variety of spring mix, cactus, varied greens, romaine and the occasional squash or a taste of strawberry...he has a cuttle bone available but I have never personally seen him...
It just occured to me as this nasty snow storm is coming down like crazy...what do I do about the baby if the electricity goes out tonight??? They are promising anywhere from4-10 inches of heavy snow after a day of rain and sneet plus dropping to the teens within the next 48.... his tank is in...
Hey.... I haven't read everything....a quick question..... is there a variable range for an enclosed 75 gallon tank for my baby sulcata? The tank is much larger than his original 20 gallon and I have been able to get the cool side to warm side accomplished, but my humidty is harder. The heat...
Hello.I bring Digger our of his hide every morning and he enjoys the basking light and nibbles on his lettuces/greens/cactus and (yummy) squash. He is not eating a lot but he does eat..but then runs back to the hide to dig down in the dirt under the blanket of timothy. I took the temp today and...
Hello...another dumb question:but it hit me as I was juicing this morning that I always have this wonderful veggie pulp left over and I am not a "put it in the muffins" kinda person. I hate to throw it away.... it is moist and very fine vegetable pulp.... (fiber) if I left the celery and...
Anyone know when the instructions say to use silicone to protect the seams of the enclosure...is there a specific type that is or is not safe to use??? I am thinking that perhaps the regular stuff for the bathtub may not be good???? Thx!
Pet store said my new RT is "2 years old"...?????. I measured yesterday and it is 4 1/2 long & 3 1/2 (almost 4) wide..... I want to name them...you know the story...everyone wants to know!!!

Hello...stupid question: I bought the coir bricks package and did what the instructions said with the bucket, water, fluffing, etc. It is just too humid-y/wet for my liking.... the pet store girl said, "well, most people let it dry out in the sun for a day, didn't you do that?" No, dummy me, I...
I had seen him several times at the pet store and he was always out, friendly and eating. I bought him last night, set up his new home with the coconut, a hide log and weeds & water. He dug into the substrate inside his log and has not come out since! I gave him a good soak before he went in...
There is so much to learn here.... we had to buy the 10 gal aquarium with lid and light from the reptile people.... they said the lid and light will keep humidity and temps perfect...no worries. I just got my scanning thermometer in the mail and it appears that it is between 74 cool and 80 warm...
He was found this morning tipped on his back. He has done it several times this afternoon.... we are paranoid that he is going to kill himself! Is he seeing out of the glass of the tank and trying to get out? Just flexing his legs and turning himself over??? Do they just love to climb??? He...
