I’ve always been concerned about putting anything on the heat mat, but you haven’t ever had any problems or hotspots or anything with some dirt on there?
I think a dusting would be helpful for cleaning up waste 🤔
We've (maybe) got a birthday over here! I bought my lil turtis, Mort, in November 2023 when he(?) was 68g. At the beginning of this year, the growth became exponential! Very exciting :)

No worries. I am grateful to be a member and this forum has been a great resource for so many people, myself included. I send people here all the time!
It’s sealed and it mists for like 3 seconds. It’s fully customizable and not a fogger.
If anyone has any further input regarding the specific questions I asked, that may be helpful. But I understand the very human need to exert superiority has overtaken this thread as it appears it has for...
For sure, that makes sense. I am very excited to get him outside after we move and he is an appropriate size. I’ve been having many backyard fantasies.
I appreciate it, thanks for the tips on the ground plants.
Not only is there no pattern or systematic examples of each, I’m just not seeing even a shred of evidence that soil or misting systems “are known to cause problems.” I haven’t found a single case of this in academic literature and I...
Thanks!

Yeah, sure! If I remember to take photos tomorrow I’ll come back and attach them.
I use a HO 10.0 UVB bulb, which is on from 11 AM to 3 PM. A flood bulb is on from 8 AM to 8 PM. A ceramic bulb and a DHP are always on but primarily work overnight. All this maintains the temperature at an...
No. But I have seen them in person and *gasp* in this very forum.
I’m sorry that you can’t conceptualize converting a doghouse into a secure, heated, enclosure but it’s not that difficult with the right tools and supplies.
I looked at some of your other comments to people. I’m afraid you’re...
I appreciate this enlightening bit. Perhaps I should not have assumed we would all understand the doghouse would be modified into a night box for temporary shelter while he is big enough to be outside but still small enough for it to be a sizable enclosure. A lot of people modify them...
My tort never used the actual cuttle bones but I just got a green tortoise block and he loves it! I usually sprinkle his food twice per week, should I still be doing that or can I stop buying supplements and just let him chomp his block when he feels like it?
