hello all, i just want wish everyone a happy thanksgiving tommorrow. if you're in southern california and you're on the freeway good luck! i was stuck on the 91 freeway yesterday for 4 hours for a trip that usually takes 1.5 hours. it was nasty, i'm talking bumper to bumper the whole way. i hate...
when i first got my sullie he would poop and then eat his own poop. that really grossed me out for a while. everytime i would bath him he would excrete this milky white urates all over the place and that was gross too. but now i'm used to it so it dosen't bother me as much. i've learned that if...
hello again, this is sort of the second part of my question. i asked in an earlier thread about hay inside a sullie house with the CHE shining down on it. i wanted to know if it was a fire hazard. i got some conflicting answers so i became even more confused. so now i'm going to change the...
wow, 42 views and no response..so either nobody on the forum has any idea as to what i'm asking or maybe i'm wording it wrong and nobody understands the question. so let me try to phrase it at little better.
i live in southern california where daytime temps in the winter are in the mid to...
hello all, i have a 4 year old male eastern hermanns. this will be the first winter i have him. my question is..since i've been keeping him outdoors all this time, can i continue to keep him outdoors in the winter. or should i bring him inside to his indoor enclosure at night and bring him out...
ok so i've finally got the winter house up and running for my sullie. i layed the floor with vinyl and sealed and water proofed all the nooks and crannies. so this is as tight and insulated as its going to be. i noticed this morning that the temp inside the enclosure was about 92 degrees. i...
ok well that explains it. the "hay" i have isn't quite hay yet. it was the lawn clippings i had dried out since sunday. its not `completley dry and there is still a hint of green color. is this a problem?
i attached the che 12" and about 1 hour later i thought i smelled something burning and i notice the sullie doesnt like to sleep in there he's always wanting to sleep outside no matter how many times i put him back inside. is this normal. and are you sure the distance is safe?
this is my first...
i just finished my sullies winter house. i just attached the CHE about 12" above from the top shell of the sullie. my question is this, since i have dry hay and dirt inside the enclosure. i'm concerned that this will be a fire hazard. i mean its pretty warm in the enclosure right now. is there...
the bulb is 150w. i guess my question is how will i know what the correct distance will be. if i put a thermometer at the distance fo the tortoises back.. what should the temp be? 75 degrees or 80?
