Description This BioStar 1500 Premium Cold Frame is a great alternative to a permanent greenhouse if space or complexities are a concern. The unusually thick panels are identical to those used in full sized greenhouses. These panels retain heat far better than glass and are stronger. If it's only an 8-9 month growing season that you care about and you want to clear some space for winter, this cold frame dismantles in five minutes for storage until next year.
In many US climatic regions this unit sustains enough warmth to grow vegetables all year round. In the northern climates, you can normally jump start the spring by starting in February and extending the growing season into October. Interestingly, in the winter months, you can experiment with setting a few large cans of water inside the unit to absorb the suns warmth.

When the typical person thinks of the phrase ‘man’s best friend’ they often think of a dog and for some, a cat. However, there are many people that own more exotic pets and view them as part of their family. While pet insurance from some businesses is reserved strictly for dogs and cats, there are many that are opening their coverage for many exotic species as well.
One of the most common pets that individuals are looking to insure is the tortoise. If this is what you are trying to achieve, it is most likely because of their long lifespan and likelihood to outlive you. By finding a provider that offers plans, you can make it easier to care for your pet in case of an unexpected illness or injury that is outside of your budget. Looking Online for Exotic Insurance Providers It can seem strange to some to provide insurance for animals that are not a dog or cat. Speaking with Other Tortoise Owners Rating: 0.0/ (0 votes cast) RF Caresheet. ..this is what you get when you follow it! Hatched in late Feb.'05 - One day old.. see his egg-tooth? After 2 months.. smooth even growth.. Almost 5 months.. still smooth even growth.. Now over 9 months.. perfect carapace.. not quite 3 1/2" Other "YEARLING" examples.. First "Sonshine" hatchling.. And "BUTTERSCOTCH".. look how smooth..
From hatching to above.. no UVB bulb ever used - whenever taken outside.. would eat and then go to "hide". If your redfoot tortoise looks like it's "crying" all the time.. it's because it's too dry!!! Keep your hatchlings warm and wet.. plenty of fruit and lots of good high calcium greens - and don't fry their eyes out with all that UVB. The above works for me.. have fun and enjoy your REDFOOT!!! ******** . The above is the original "Caresheet" written sometime in '05.. very little "tweeking" has occured over the past 5 years.. the BASICS are still the basics! Results you could/should expect... "Butterscotch" from egg - ( watch the 'dates' in the pics!
