Good stuff! Made for nice lunchtime read!

Spot on with the three issues listed. I’d offer at least one more. Its clear to me Andy won’t change his mind, no matter the results and he can continue to move the goalpost and thus so will his followers. Pride perhaps? Science should be democratic and experiments repeatable. Its equally valid...

I signed up to read the thread. They are dismissing your experience as anecdotal and your example of a cherryhead needing high humidity as being a unique requirement for a tropical species. To continue the discussion, I would send some examples of Mark’s star tortoises or leopard tortoises. If I...

I really like the flush mounted LEDs and how much light they provide, especially bouncing off the white interior walls. I built an 18” stand and its the perfect height for two units. Already saving for more!

Smart Tortoise Enclosures 48”x36”x30” with radiant heat panel

I ordered two, 4’ x 3’ Smart Tortoise Enclosures from @Markw84 and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Photos don’t do these justice. Highly recommended! My order varied slight from the standard with upgraded radiant heat panels and humidity control. Humidity is holding perfectly...

Replicating harsh in situ conditions where only a fraction of baby tortoises reach adulthood accomplishes little and does not translate into captive care. That thinking is exactly why over the decades hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of pet tortoises of all species look like Legos...

If it’s not said by @zovick, then toss it out. Bill is a legend and speaks from 40+ years experience with radiata. Nothing wrong with questioning the status quo, but the benefits of soaking tortoises is very widely accepted, regardless of species.

Great news! Thanks!

I placed two fairly random orders for spineless cactus. Results were mixed. First was $16.50 via Amazon listed as Opuntia cacanapa The second was $23.91 shipped from Etsy listed as Opuntia cochenillifera. Based on the images Google returned of O. cochenillifera, I think it’s unlikely what...

I got the tortoise scoped today, and to my surprise, it is actually a boy. I will update the ad accordingly.

Due to requests, I am having the tortoise scoped next Thursday to determine the gender. Price change pending to reflect my additional cost and value added.

I can't believe I am going to do this, but I need to sell my beloved pet Radiated tortoise. I just don't have enough time to enjoy her anymore. Studbook registered #1500. Hatched June 2007. I've had her since July 2007. I say she, because she was temperature sexed to be female, but I've...

I also use ceramic bulbs for heating and T8 tubes for lighting. My setup is a single 5.0 UVB bulb and a single Verilux for full spectrum lighting. Light looks beautiful.

68 x 35".

Package actually arrived a couple of weeks ago! It was huge! Set up. See ya!

Last night I ordered a medium tub from Vision! It was in stock too! It's coming via FedEx and I'll post a pic when set up. The was a long overdo upgrade. Vision's owner Scott seems like a super nice, friendly guy.

They look great!
