Thank you! I will definitely get him new substrate today as I’m not sure if it’s perlite and I’d rather not risk that because he does like to burrow! And I’ll definitely be looking into the water method I’ve also increased the humidity and it’s reading at 95% at ground level is this to high...

Hi everyone I was recently given a baby ornate box turtle from a reptile hoarding situation. He seems to be doing quite well he is extremely active, eating normally, soaking in his bath regularly, and his overall showing no abnormal behaviors. I recently got him to start eating off of my tongs...
