Just wondering if any one had tried this seed mix and how it worked out
I just ordered some and was curious about its reviews here on TFO
his forum name is drewslife727 and he was not the breeder. I believe the breeder was a friend of his and I will talk to him and see what he says. I'm sure he will start growing sooner or later I know I'm doing the right stuff (and the carrot water is only because I had Munchy die from a vitamin...
How old is yours in that picture? Tortellini doesn't look like that it just looks like he's growing slow I haven't checked for parasites yet but will do that and I no he doesn't have a uri. . . I have had 2 babies die from uris (both born to the same clutch in winter :( and were sick when I...
Haha ya I like his name too. . .
Thanks for the advice it seems like the only thing I'm not doing that has been suggested is soaking him more (when I soak him I put organic carrot baby food in the water)
I do always have water available and I do not have a humitifier water his substrate daily...
Well that's the weird thing I got Tortellini from Drew here on the forum and from what I understand his set up was great. . . He was very careful when he gave me Tortellini that I knew how to take care of him properly so I don't think it was that he didn't have great care. . . And yes I have...
His temps never drop below 80 and I have a digital humidity gauge that actually works very well . . . I have a hide for him and I am going to get him a better one . . . I got him when he was about 4 months old (he is actually 7 months now) and he was about the same size (he is alittle bigger)
Well here is my set up
I use cocoir and have the humidity at 60-75% cool side 80 warm 90 hotspot 100
Fed grasses and spring mix and soaked at least 4 times a week (usually 5 or6)
I also take him out a lot and have him out side in the sun
I have had him since january and he has grown alittle but...
Ok I am going to post pictures of him soon and I don't think Tortellini is pyramiding but I would like to know how to I dentify it in a 6month old sully he is about 2.5" and his shell looks good to me but I was wondering if anyone had a picture of a 6month (or younger) with pyramiding for comparison
