A lot depends on the species of torts- had leopards in there before- and it was perfect. I have a hermanni in there now, and had to make changes to ensure it didnt get to hot or stale in there.

Thank you, I have many thermometere, a timer for light and heat sources. The temps are within range, and I make sure every day. If the tort were in harms way at all, I would make changes, but truth be told, I doesn't even care about the glass, and if it were an issue, I could and would very...

Bummer indeed. You seemed to have done an amazing job seeing as all the difficulties the little thing had overcome already.

She's super cute and looks itty bitty (it might just be the pic too, though). Congrats!

So, I mentioned a new home for "Hank", but I did not wet the coir or orchid bark, but instead have a repti-fogger that keeps the humidity up. I seem to have turned into a super freak about shell softness and also rot. What are the thoughts of the more experienced keepers?

Recently, we've lost one of our Leopards. My 7 year old and I decided to clean out the old substrate and other stuff and replace it all for our little Dalmation Hermanni "Hank". Thoughts? We've had him since early October and is showing new shell growth (which I'm super excited to see!!)...

Any update on if it's gotten out yet?

Has the little guy (or gal) made it's appearance yet??

Just got a new Mvb for our little Dalmation, and temps are soaring on the warm side. 72 on the cool end, but 104 on the warm side. Too hot for our hermanni?? Night time temps usually hover around 67 in our house - but never below 65. What can I do to cool it off in there?

And it/they are doing much better now?

Gerber carrots? Like actual baby food?

Congrats! Can't wait to hear more about her eggs!

Infared night heat bulbs. (Non coil). Doesnt get below low 80s at night.

Right now: 91 on the warm end, 84 on the cool. I have 3 of those acu-rite thermometers in there. Low for the day in the warm side was 84- as i opened it for a bit to feed, clean the water bowl and soak.

Summertime temps would be warmer than what they get to now, but if it is the case, I am willing to get the temps up to summertime temps. I figured since I keep the house on the rather cool side, that the temps wouldn't be as high, but that they would still be within acceptable limits. What would...

I haven"t done anything different other than getting a stronger uvb. Temps run - basking 100-104 usually, warm 95 cool 80 overnight around 80 or so. Feed a varied diet, soaked tonight in a bath with calcium d3 sprinkled in it, since i cant get them to eat food with it dusted on and can't get...

My first winter with Torts, and am wondering about the whole "winter slow down" thing... The weather in Nebraska has gotten cooler, and I feel like my Leopards have noticed. Or, I could be dilusional, but I'm hoping not.. My torts are eating, but can tell not as much. They are active, but not as...

They are gorgeous little babes!!! I am in love. Too

Someone posted this on Facebook in one of the groups I follow. I was apalled. Obviously, Omaha is not near Vancouver, or I would grab the guy... Can anyone pick up this tort?? http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pet/5203879138.html

She's adorable! ❤
