    Help with feeding adult sucatas

    Thanks Tom. I have planted three spineless opuntia. One was growing pretty well last year, but in the past 8 months or so, they haven’t seem to have grown at all.

    Retrofit night box for winter

    Kane recommends screwing the mats into the floor - does anyone do that? Do you have them directly on the floor, or on a platform?

    Retrofit night box for winter

    But an accurate reading of the heat mat temperature can only come from the surface of the mat. Sorry, I'm confused. Are you saying that, when the ambient temp reaches - say 85 - you just have the thermostat turn off everything?

    Weed ID - safe for Sulcata?

    I just moved to Arizona and know NONE of the plants here. This has sprung up in my yard over the past few weeks. Chuck Norris the Tortoise will arrive early next week, and I need to know if this is OK for her to eat, or if I need to get rid of it ASAP. Thanks!

    Do you get the Kane mat with the built-in thermostat, and just use the Zilla for the RHP? Otherwise, how do you gauge temp on the heat mat?

    Night box flooring?

    Arizona

    I'm glad I did a search before starting a new string. I live in Dallas with my 7-year-old sulcata. We may be moving to Phoenix. I have been in a panic because I don't know what to do about grass, cooling, etc. Any recommendations for places to look for more information on setting up a...
