Enclosure type...tortoise table unless warm and sunny weather then outdoors
Temperature range...daytime 22-24c background with basking 32-34c
UV provided...megaray
Substrate...topsoil with dry hide containing aubiose/hemp
Humid hide...tried it they ignored it so no
Foods Fed...i hand pick wild plants then add well chopped grasses
Frequency of feeding..morning feed left down all day evening feed just grasses left downfor 2 hours after their daily soak.
Water availability...24/7 replaced at least twice a day
Soakings...daily
And any other insight you think might be important.
yes night time humidity 70%+. during the day basking spot about 30% whereas outer area of the table can be 60-70%.also i never let night time temperatures drop below 18c and prefer 20c.
they have access to chunks of cuttlebone and i add vionate about once a week.


Thanks.

thanks for your comments Ed just to add their diet is not an exact science and is a little dependant on availability and time of year.

How many of a clutch that size hatches out? I had one girl who laid 20 eggs at a time... non of them ever hatched. The other girl would lay 10 to 12 ping-pong ball size eggs... usually 100% hatch rate. She produced more than 70 hatchlings one year.

Hello all i soak my little fella about three times a week,but he soaks himself every day in his water bowl,im very lucky to have access to loads of orgainc wild weeds at home and in work and he eats any and all of these its just the grass i have trouble getting him to eat but were getting there slowly he looks like hes gagging sometimes when he eats it but if its wet he seems not to mind,in the garden he eats it no problem, i also leave cuttlefish bone around and sometimes clean egg shells, im new to leopards so im still nervous, hoping im doing the right thing all the time,hes only very small and he seems to be doing fine so i suppose he will let me know if things go wrong! Im thinking of switching over to a reptiglow 100w instead of a heat lamp and 10.0 UV tube so i can rig up a ceramic heater at night time when the winter comes in..Any advice welcome Steve
