I haven't posted in a long time but here are some new pics of the trio.. I can't believe how big they have grown in a year.. Leppy( 1 year 6 mo) I haven't been able to get the pyramiding to stop. Shelly( 1 year 3 mo) Pumba( 1 year 3 mo) Shelly and Pumba are siblings and both are very...

Yep.. It's a 2x4 frame with 2 cross bars and 2 2x4s in the middle supporting those to the base to the base, 4x4 on the corners.. I think the bottom plywood is 3/4"..This thing weighs a ton and is rock solid.. All was sealed and then a 6 mil liner was put inside.. The top a frame is made of 2x3...

I wanted to post some pics of a 4x8 indoor enclosure for my nephews Sulcuta.. The pet store didn't give the best info for starting out his Sulcuta, so it has been started dry and has some pyramiding.. So this was made to try and help get him on the right track.. His tortoise is probably 9...

The San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Society is having their annual summer show at Balboa Park in San Diego this weekend.. Maybe that's the one?

Thanks for posting pics! I was down there too, way too many people crammed in there, but seeing the variety of tortoises, snakes, frogs, etc was worth it!

Which type of Mazuri are you using, the regular or the LS? Mine would not touch the LS but go straight to the regular when I feed it.. I had to order the regular Mazuri, pet store only carries the little bag of LS.

And a couple more..

I took a few quick pics, wanted to show the different coloring of the plastron and skin.. Pumba 55 grams: Shellie 53 grams: Notice his dark speckled skin, the other two are much lighter Leppy 111 grams:

I am not sure why/ when they start changing.. When I got my first one a month ago, he already had some white coming in and was 3 months old.. Maybe genetics and the coloring of the parents? You can see the pyramiding was already started from being dry.. A month later, a lot of white My 3 all...

Thanks Wellington.. I have read the care sheets.. The bigger one, Leppy, had some pyramiding when I got him, appeared to be started dry and I am trying to smooth it out.. They just got a new home, one of the lifetime planters with the greenhouse top and the humidity is staying in the 70s.. I had...

2 new additions arrived today!! For now they are Shellie and Pumba...

That pic looks just like mine So, can I feed some leaves and petals daily, weekly, or??

I have been reading that Rose of Sharon is good to feed torts.. So I was looking for one, and then after looking at pics again, I think that is what I planted years ago Is this one? It is pretty big, how often can I feed it to a 3 mo old leopard?

I found this at my local garden supply.. Ingredients = fir bark.. Hoping it works good for my my new enclosure.. $10 for 2 cu ft.

Is this an egg tooth? That's what made me think he was a little younger than 3 months

Figured I would start a thread to follow Leppy as he/she grows.. I was told he hatched on 2/10, but now I am thinking he may be younger.. May 7 May 8 43 grams May 14 50 grams May 22 60 grams

Old thread, but great enclosure! Newbies will benefit from the thread bump... What wattage CHEs do you use in here?

Thanks for the quick reply! Trying to identify all the plants/ weeds that are edible is confusing.. I have a couple in my yard I still haven't been able to figure out using that plant id.. I ordered a seed mix 3 weeks ago from Carolina Pet but it still hasn't shipped

Is this edible? It is called a tiny monster geranium, a cranesbill hybrid.. The plant is says cranesbill is good, but I want to double check before I feed it

Giving them a care sheet is a great idea.. The store is about an hour north of my house, did a Google search when I was in the area.. I will see if I can email a copy to them.. I don't want to throw the name out there because the store was busy and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's business...
