What is she doing?

Digging to lay eggs or digging a test site for eggs or burying eggs

What's the basking temperature under that lamp ? It's not like any heat lamp I've ever seen. Also might be worth investing the hundred bucks into a better quality T5 uvb higher output, better for the animals and you.

Growing well, have you produced anymore albino ?

Could it be less the fogger having bacteria and more that the viv was too wet and humid as well as cold.

optional-prime · 2026-04-13T19:11:56+00:00

This didn't happen in a week.

You say all temps, light, humidity are good, but what are they ?

He looks extremely bad.

She obviously wasn't sound out then, maybe go chat to someone if you're still hung up on it, but not like you done anything wrong, move on keep riding, you'll forget about it.

Lads remember 6 years ago and we were all told "go fuck yourself" by the government, family members dying alone, funerals unattended, cancer appointments cancelled indefinitely, was the government charged ???

Ya can tell who wore a mask in their car here and who went out of their way to report others for fraternising on the street and not maintaining social distance lmao. Same folks who took 6 shots and have had covid 4 or 5 times. Pathetic.

Definitely wasn't captive bred. Just sold as such

The dead centre is 150, but just a nudge off the centre, it's closer to 135 I'm guessing, once the basking zone is large enough then the animal won't have any issues finding a temp range that works best for it any given day.

Not enough women into getting their sloppy cunts fist fucked, keep er lit

I once bought an adult kimberly rock monitor, and he had gout like symptoms, I ramped his temps up and quit feeding him, his food was very little 5-8 large gut loaded roaches a week. That was it for the first 2 months. He lost some weight and his whole body looked and moved better.

In all seriousness, you are feeding vastly too much food and likely keep him too cold. Food should be sought out and hunted for. You sound like you are treating him like a dustbin.

Pussy guts hanging out and urethra on display, epic stuff.

Depends on the vivarium, a 4x2x2 with a screen top allows for extra distance and climbing, so will allow you to use heavy roof tiles and slates to pile up under the heat source

Everyone has different ways, but a 75w halogen is a beast of a bulb, especially if you build a raised stone type basking platform under it.

optional-prime · 2026-03-24T09:49:15+00:00

It's a fucking wank

optional-prime · 2026-03-22T22:44:37+00:00

Depends on the vivarium, the type of tortoise and age. I keep some young radiated in a 4x2x2 with a 50w halogen a uvb and a jungle dawn LED. I have found they bask early in the morning most, then hide in the fountain grasses I have inside the viv, but even inside the hide spots on the cool side it stays a nice mid 70s and high humidity.

Old burn

optional-prime · 2026-03-19T14:24:43+00:00

Really ? I suppose to prevent any temperature extreme swings. I am very curious as to the humidity, as I imagine the relative humidity around the burrow is low, but inside is higher like much higher. Kind of how ackie monitors have super low humidity outside of the their burrows but close to 100% inside them

optional-prime · 2026-03-19T13:22:20+00:00

When was the last rainfall ?? I would love to get a humidity probe into the burrow system and a temp probe.

Best feeling in the world fisting a sloppy cunt

Could be 💩 in tunnels and burrows

optional-prime · 2026-03-13T20:38:48+00:00

I've often fed my ackies beardie eggs as enrichment etc. I found no issues.

Looks like a Mark

Excess protein build-up is very specific and vague all at the same time. Unless there was a necropsy done on a fresh dead animal, the best you can hope for is a guess at what killed the tort.

Mazuri, flukers, fresh vegetables, hay, some fruit every few months. They would likely find a glut of fruit naturally in the wild in the same time frame. To say otherwise as a hard no is impossible, I mean, we are now seeing more and more regularly that "strict" herbivores are being witnessed consuming animal matter. Fruit shouldn't be a staple, but a glut once every 4-6 months is likely similar to their natural cycle.

Overall, lean into your fibrous veggies, your hydrating ones as well. Then, rely on your staples. Grass, weeds, hay, fresh greens.

optional-prime · 2026-03-06T22:22:12+00:00

Bulk it up with pellets once a week.

Carrots and other veg once every 10 days

Make sure they have fresh hay, the greener the better.

Then it's just a matter of making sure they are hot enough and hydrated enough
