Pretzel is abt 4 inches long. I stopped feeding him for 2 weeks now. I checked his nose and it wasn't runny. I was thinking of putting him outside on my sheltered patio where rain wont' get in the box, so it will be dry and temp would get down to 50s. I don't know if the temp goes down to 40...

I was planning to put him in another fridge in my garage, of course, separate from food :P. So it's okay just to put my DT in a cardboard box outside even though the temp goes to low 50ish at nite and fluctuates btw 60-80s in the morning? I thot the temp has to be below 50? I usually put him...

I read some articles about hibernating torts in the fridge. I believe they said that the optimal temp is 40-50s.The temp in where I live only goes down to 50-60s at night so i'm planning to put my small DT in the fridge. for the ventilation, do i need to use an air pump or can i just open the...

does juvenile DT also hibernate? I live in Upland and my, about 1 yr old, DT eats less and less everyday :P

Congrats! The pic is so awesome XD

Love #2 and 3...they show characters...

thank you all for the comments ^0^........

Just a random question popped up in my head. Does anybody know where torts store the fat that they get from the diet? How do we know if they have too much to eat or too fat? appreciate all inputs....

you can try to adjust the height of the heat lamp on the hot side so that the temp can be suited to whatever temp u'd like it to be.

I have a few pictures of my baby Toge to share wif you...^0^

Thanks all for ur replies....I appreciate it...I notice that he is active before noon and gets sleepy and stays at his hideout during the whole afternoon then active again at nite... :P

Thanks Danny. I was kinda worried because it's different than his usual pee. Usually it's clear with very little white substance and not as much as this milky one. But then he often sleep during the day in his hideout, is that also ok? I thought most reptiles don't sleep during the day...

I think it's still juvenile and it's 4" long...I'm not sure whether it's a male or female...from the length of the tail, if i have to guess it's a female because it's short...

Help! My desert tortoise has cloudy, milk like urine for 2 days..Is it normal????

I have a juvenile DT and I'm getting the 50soil/50sand. What kind of play sand brand do you use for your DT? I'm curious because some sands have silica and I heard that it's pretty dangerous. Thanks for the help...

Hi all, I've decided to adopt the DT, going to get the permit, and i've been looking around to get some stuff for his enclosure. I have been using some newspaper for the substrate and changing it to alfalfa pellet as soon as I get the stuff, heat lamp that goes on top on a ceramic bulb...

It was found in Orange county on the walkway in a suburban area where there are lots of houses, not on a desert area...perhaps someone might lost it..
