I think my tortoises are playing some sort of rape-game.

They're taking turns humping each other and running away. Well, what I wanted to ask was: Is this normal? Even for the female. Should I seperate them or should I just let them go at it? o.o This is...

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen either of them do. The lamp started kicking in and they're sleeping in the cool end. Finally I'm actually starting to feel like a good keeper!

Alternative heating? Lamp's a no-go.

Damn lucky reptile suckered me into buying a lamp that was supposed to "give temperatures up to 50 Celcius! Even with a recommended distance of 50 cm!". Turns out - up to means... up to. It's nowhere...
