I replaced the sand with pebbles and top soil. Is there a better substrate to use? With the moisture is there a risk for respiratory infection/issues?

i want to add humidity with a reptifogger. One side of the tank is a sandy beach with a pool, the middle is the heading basking light, and the other side is the hide and leaves. I want to block off part of the tank to hold in the moisture, would I be better to do this on the sandy beach side or...

I taped up a black sheet on 3 sides and will plan to tape up paper or something on the fourth side. It’s odd. She doesn’t seem to mind the glass in her current enclosure that she’s been in the for last 20 years, and actually seems curious and looks around and watches me.

I am planning to put her in a 72 x 18 x 22 glass aquarium. But I’ve read that it’s hard to regulate temperatures and can cause respiratory infections with bad airflow. Would you agree? I purchased a waiting pool and was planning to have one wet side and one dry side.

It sounds like she was only fed lettuce. So I’m not sure that she’s had animal protein in her entire life. I’ve been feeding her two wax worms, two mealworms and two red worms each day and sprinkled a little bit of calcium on them. I wasn’t sure if she was large enough to catch nightcrawlers but...

I have a large 72 x 18 x 22 glass aquarium that I was planning to put her in. But another group I’m in mentioned not to put her in the glass aquarium because it can cause respiratory infection with poor airflow, and it’s hard to regulate temps in a glass tank. Will this be an issue? I was...

Thank you. That was very helpful. In an another groups I joined they mention not to use glass aquariums. I have a large tank that’s 72 x 18 x 22. That I was planning to use. But they had mentioned that this can cause respiratory infection infections due to poor ventilation and difficulty...

Thank you. It sounds like they were only feeding her lettuce so I’m not sure if she’s had any animal protein in her entire life. How much is too much? I’ve been feeding her two wax worms, two meal worms, and two red worms each day. I thought maybe nightcrawlers would be too big for her, but now...

My coworker asked me if I would be willing to take her turtle. She said it was her kids and they don’t want it anymore. I have a sulcata tortoise, but I’m not familiar with this turtle. Other people seem to think it’s a box turtle. Does this group also agree? I have this picture and a video I...
