    Eco earth

    I bought a big bag of eco earth substrate, and Terry seems to enjoy it much more then the mulch he was walkin on before. Problem is, on his rounds around the enclosure, he likes to wade threw his water dish and the substrate attaches to him like glue until it and he dries. It doesn’t take long...

    I was so worried something was wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s just his sleep style, though he/she doesn’t do it all the time [emoji5]

    New owner observations

    This isn’t a super serious topic, just something I’ve found pretty interesting and kind of cute. I’ve had my baby Terry for a few days now, and a few times it’s given me a scare. Often I would look into the enclosure to see it sprawled open legged and head on the ground, still and limp. I...

    Soft plastron?

    Reviews I’ve read say that the substrate is pretty close to dirt and I’ve seen it used in a YouTube video, it’s got no chunks or large pieces. I suppose I’m on a hunt for the right uvb light lol I’ll get it sooner then later. Luckily I live in Florida so it’s usually sunny, would it be a good...

    Soft plastron?

    So I’ve decided to build my own closed in enclosure. I’m using wood and acrylic, I’ll send pics when it’s done (hopefully today!)

    Soft plastron?

    Wow, I thought I was well prepared [emoji29] as soon as the morning hits and my check deposits I will order everything I need. I don’t know wether the bulb produces uvb, but I will order one as well and the correct heating just to be sure. Thank you all so much. Do you have a personal...

    Soft plastron?

    Thanks! It’s not bendy or squishy so much as it just kind of gives a little bit. I bought it from underground reptiles, Florida based and close by. The site doesn’t say much about soaking or dry routines, but I did soak it today for about twenty minutes

    Terry was actually thought of by someone else, I’m terrible with names so I asked a few people and that name was by far my favorite. Thanks :)

    Soft plastron?

    Of course, I’m really grateful that your willing to give some advice [emoji16] the temps on the high side is around 100-105, the low side is 85-90. Night time is 75. I don’t have an exact read on the humidity, I’ve so far been unable to find a gauge for that so I plan on ordering one tomorrow...
