That shell is amazing! I haven't seen one that color. Gorgeous!!

She eats a wide variety of food. Prickly Pear Cactus, Christmas cactus, dandelions, hibiscus leaves, Chinese lantern leaves, collard greens, Petunias, Snapdragon and a bunch more. I try to mix it up and give her a wide variety. She also eats St. Augustine grass and Wheat grass. I am trying...

Well, crap. I have been worried about it but my friends told me she wasn't. What can I do? She lives outside in Central Florida. It's very hot and humid in the summer. Right now it's in the 80's. In the winter she comes inside.

I am worried about my Leopard tortoise. She seems healthy and is growing but I am worried about pyramiding. Can you tell me if her shell looks alright? We live in Central Florida and she lives in an outdoor enclosure. If it gets chilly she also has an indoor house. Thanks.

my Leopard swallowed two small rocks. One had passed in her stool. The other one looks like it's stuck in her Large Intestine. Has anyone had an issue like this? She is eating and defecating. I work for a vet and we are going to try mineral oil. Ideas?

my Leopard currently lives indoors but I am moving to Central Florida. I keep seeing conflicting info. Some say humid air others say arid. Will it be ok for her to live outside is Florida humidity?

My boss is really awesome. I've been with her for 4 years. She takes us to Mississippi State games. My husband isn't a tortoise or any reptile fan. They videoed me opening the gift and I started crying. All my coworkers love the tort now too.

Are your lights above the plexiglass or through it? What is the wire looking thing under the lamps?

I haven't lined it yet, but I will. Thanks for all of your help!

I'm sorry…this is a stupid question. The fixture I have says it has two ceramic sockets. Do I need to get different ones?

Can I use the MVB light in the dome I have now? Do I have to wait until I get the ceramic fixture?

I changed the UV bulb to Mercury Vapor. I am planning on using MVB during the day and the red heat bulb at night. Will that be OK? How do you keep the humidity at 80% in the box? I was thinking about plexiglass so I'm glad you said that. I am stressing over this. I don't want to hurt her.

Here are some photos of the habitat at my house. I am going to ask my boss if i can take this one to work. Sally is in the humid house. It's not humid enough yet, but I'm working on it. She is 2.2 inches. I know you said the habitat is too small for her, but she is tiny. She has tons of...

Thanks everyone. All I know is that she came from from a breeder in Florence, AL. Her birthday is 1-22-14 I've made a humidity box. The one corner of the habitat stays between 85 and 90. I'm trying to get it warmer. I'm feeding her collard greens, prickly pear cactus and I'm growing...

Aaaahhh. I've wanted a tortoise for years. My boss surprised me with a Leopard Tortoise for my birthday. I am freaking out that I am doing things wrong. 1. Should she have another tort with her? 2. I don't know how to keep the humidity where it should be. 3. I worry that I am feeding...
