Ed, if you do not provide UV, are they outside quite a bit or do you use a supplement ?
They look great

The Mazuri has D3 in it. They do not go outside at all... never have.

Does the heat come from basking bulbs?

They've got a 65w incandescent bulb that is 14 inches above the substrate and the reptile room is heated to 80F.

Very nice. How old is the spider tort? Is it one you bred? If you have more would love to see pics, as well as updated pics of Big Al. Only when you have time of course!

The spider is the only one I hatched out... about 8 years ago.

I need a new profile shot so a new photo of Al and friends is to follow.

Wow never knew that, so absolutely no sun throughout the year? Than they would not need the UVB bulb?
