I didn’t think you’d be able too, I didn’t want to bother you! Yes, I still have her! I’ll text you!

He reached out and I replied, but I’m still waiting to hear back from him. So I’m still looking for someone.

Do they actually want another tortoise? I don’t just wanna pawn her off on someone.

No I’m not gonna ship her anywhere. I’d drive her to her new home, or if someone wanted to pick her up, or meet half way.

Thank you. Katie was no longer able to watch her and at that time I was making my move to Florida so it worked out. I’m definitely gonna be extra cautious. I don’t know if asking for some amount for her would help weed anyone who’s not serious about her out. I know sometimes people do that. But...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to find a home for my leopard tortoise Cleo. I’ve had her for over 8 years, and it’s actually coming up on her birthday. I’m really, really sad to be rehoming her, but I want to do what’s best for her. @Katie11 stepped in and saved the day when I needed a temporary...

Yes, I caulked and sealed each seam. I dont have door flaps, but I wouldnt think that would affect the temperature throughout the night. Im planning on adding them on soon, I also dont have the weather stripping along the top, I'm planning on adding that soon too. Hopefully those two things will...

I'm using the same heaters you mentioned in this post. The 18x28 inch Kane heat mat on the floor, and a 21" radiant heat panel 6-8 inches above the top of her shell. Theyre plugged into the same thermostat and I think they are constantly on. When I take her out in the morning, she is always on...

It’s set really high in the 100s. And yes that’s what I mean. I also have a little temperature measurer in the same place that sends the temps to my phone. I don’t have anything measuring the temperature on the warm side by the heaters yet.

I built a heated night box based on your plans with the same heat mats and everything. I have my thermostat mounted on the cool side a couple inches above the ground and it is usually around 75-78 at the coldest points of the night. The weather now its starting to get down into the low 50s and...

Lol yeah im sure. thanks!

Are the native versions (native to the southeast) okay to feed? You listed things like honeysuckle, rose leaves, hibiscus, I wanted to check if the native species are just as good.

Yeah, she has an RHP above. Thanks!

Hi, so now I'm thinking of putting non toxic epoxy Pond Armor on the bottom of my tortoises night box. Is it ok to have the kane mat directly on that after it cures? I was also wondering if anyone has suggestions for cleaning and getting the smell out of wood on the bottom of her night box? I...

I actually used the same sealer that maddoggy mentioned. The Behr waterproofing exterior wood finish. And once it’s cured will it still be fine to have the heat mat directly on it?

Ok great, I was really upset thinking I’d have to redo it! Thanks!

That’s great to hear, thank you!

Oh ok, great. Thanks for sharing!

What about sanding it down to get the water sealant off and then just being left with the pressure treated plywood. Anything I can put on that to make it safe?

Yeah I know, now I just don’t know what to do. Completely redo it or make a wood overlay so she’s not directly on it. I can’t believe I didn’t think that one through.
