    Adult Russian Tortoise Chicago Area (Naperville)

    I can agree with this. However I also can be vouched for as I’ve taken in a rescue from Windy City Reptiles. His name is Patrick Carroll and would be happy to vouch for me. He can be found, along with his reptile rescue organization, on Facebook. He can attest to the already medium sized group...

    Outdoor encl - how much sun?

    It is for 2 leopards, 1 juvi sulcata & a hermann's. It's going to be a temporary "playpen" since I know the sully will need a much bigger run down the road. I do want to do ponds tho, which is why I can't do an outdoor tort table (love the idea tho). Ok, tomorrow I will watch the sun & pick the...

    Outdoor encl - how much sun?

    So is partial sun better? If it's 90 in the afternoon in the shade, rather than in the sun - with a hide - I assume that is better than full sun? Which is good because the placement of where I want to put the enclosure is more shaded.

    Outdoor encl - how much sun?

    PLS HELP: winter set up for babies (3 leopards & 1 sulcata)

    They will be separated. But are the heat/humidity requirements the same for both? From what I've read, it is. My thought was to try to build one large enclosure but have it separated, if the humidity & heat requirements would be the same, that is.

    PLS HELP: winter set up for babies (3 leopards & 1 sulcata)

    i did read, and am actually re-reading now. I just thought I would get additional feedback from people who actually have raised the babies. I guess just some reassurance. :)
