We just got a new Hermanns and I wanted to get another to put with him. We have a very large enclosure so they both will have plenty of room. My question is how long do they have to be quarantined from each other? Thanks!

He doesn't seem to have any problems with it. He isn't trying to eat it or anything like that. I just was double checking that it wouldn't give him any health problems that I wasn't aware of. He actually seems to like it better because he is burying himself more now. Thanks everyone for your...

Thanks! One more question.....I switched substrate to top soil and peat moss. I use mostly peat moss because its softer and tends to hold moisture better. It is much cheaper than coco fiber, but someone recently said that peat moss might not be good for him. Can anyone tell me if its ok to...

Thanks everyone!!! I will go get one this weekend! I really appreciate all the help :D

Great! Thanks! I like to save money! :)

I was looking to buy the Zoo Med Repti temp that Carolina Pet Supply has on their website. Would anyone recommend this one, or is there a different one I should be looking at? Also, any suggestions for a humidity meter. Thanks!!!

I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

That's a relief!!! I thought that might be the case since he's a baby, but I wanted to get a second opinion. Thank you so much for responding.

I've had my RT for a little over a month now. He seems to sleep more than he's awake. He is probably awake for a total of 4-5 hours a day and then will go to sleep until the next day. Is this normal?

I hope he's ok!!! Keep us posted!

I have a Russian Hatchling and need some advice about humidity. I have a nice table set up, heat & UVB, cypress mulch. What should I be doing about humidity? I've tried to find info, but it seems to be different for each species and I don't want to do something to harm him. Is there some...

If you want to be unique, choose Toothless. Littlefoot is a common name. Both are cute though!!!

Thank you! We really like it too! It fits him already!

I think I'm going to use Huxley!!!! Although I thought long and hard about Darwin and Wallace also. Thank you!

Oh no!

I was thinking through different scientists and I have always wanted to name a pet Darwin. It didn't fit my dog, so he was named Duke instead and I don't really think it fits my little guy. So I started looking through the different scientists associated with Darwin and I found Thomas Henry...

Thanks everyone!!! There is a name I'm leaning to, I just hope it fits him/her.

I've had my russian hatchling for a week now and he/she still does not have a name. I think I'm having trouble because I have wanted one for as long as I can remember and this is a big decision. I don't want to name him after cartoon tortoises or other famous tortoises. I am a science major...

Thanks for all the info!!! Those links were very helpful and I feel a lot better now that I already knew most of what was in there. I think I will go to the store today and try the coco coir. I have another question and it seems kind of silly, but I want to make sure he is ok. I got him...

I don't think I will be able to get any pictures, they are really tiny. That makes sense to freeze it or boil it, I didn't even think of that! Thank you very much!!!! I am so scared that I will do something to hurt him.
