I found forest floor(think it's also called Cyprus mulch) a much better substrate than the others I used.. I buy mine from amazon. I put a layer in then I wet it not so much as its soaking wet more damp then put another layer on top.. Mines also a baby and they enjoy burrowing which is why I...

Thanks for the advice all, hopefully he will settle down once he realises this is his nice forever home.

Thanks for the advice my little one has a greenhouse over his house so I will buy another one for the older one..

Thanks I'll definitely read up on it..

About 2 weeks ago a friend of mine asked me if I wanted her nephews 2 year old Herman's, he was of to university and just didn't have the time for him. Luckily we have the room for him and he is totally separate to my baby Herman's they have no interaction at all. When we picked him up he...

Hi I'm from UK also, Cyprus mulch is known over here as forest floor I get mine from amazon..

I try to weigh my little one a similar time every 2 weeks I always do it before her soak and her food that definitely makes a difference..

Here's my view...

Thanks for the reply, I believe the pyramiding was caused by the incorrect set up I had at start but I use a greenhouse now and have the right bulbs so hopefully it won't get any worse.

I have checked forums but can't really find anything that will help me. My little one has all the correct lighting and uvb (I got all the info from here) the correct substrate and she has a good diet and eats and poops well so I have no worrys about any of that. She also enjoys her cuttle...

Being nosy..

I would try that, when I soak my little Herman's I gently tip some water over her head and shell and she loves it she stretches her neck out so the water runs down her head...

He's so cute my little Herman's is obsessed with the cuttle fish funniest thing ever when she has white all over her face from it 😂. The worse thing I did was use Google to make sure everything was correct, then found this place and realised the majority was wrong. Atleast tho we could correct...

Yours might be younger it's hard to tell from pics really, I had mine from a friend so I know exactly how old she/he is and I also weigh her weekly to keep a good track on her weight. Maybe keep a track of her weight my little one was 16g when I got her and she was 3 months old she's now 85g at...

Like others have said it's hard to give a age without the hatch date but you definitely have a very cute little hatchling. At a guess and comparing yours with mine maybe 4/5 months but that's just a pure guess. Is there anything in her house she could be biting on to cause the marks?. I had a...

Was going to say the same thing as my little Herman's who is 8 months has a similar mark also.

Hi if you make your own post about your little one and include your set up and temps and food you feed then it will make it easier for people to help you.

My little ones shell was very slightly soft but was told that's normal in babies mine has hardened as she's gotten bigger. So unless it is extremely soft I think it's normal. Babies in general sleep alot and their are days when my little one is more sleepy I think that's just normal. I only...

The problem with the open top enclosures is all the heat is escaping out I had the same problem with mine. It was easily corrected tho I bought a small little green house cover to pop over it to keep it enclosed and that also helped with keeping the humidity up. You have a similar set up to...

That's definitely a improvement hopefully your hard work will pay off and she will continue to thrive.
