the t5 is there where I highlighted with the wonky arrows. I put just orchid bark now, will get some top soil soon enough. and will join the bark

this is her day one, arrived to us. I think she looked somewha Thank you, the t5 UV light is indeed a neon tube and it's support needs to be fitted in its provided fittings, these needs a screwing place to be screwed upon, as I was describing the self made cover of acrylic I wanted to make...

this is her day one, arrived to us. I think she looked somewhat dry, what do you think? You can see those flakes of skin I mentioned above, around her neck/shoulder

My husband just reminded me that the first couple of months we had Archie, she was releasing white powder alongside poop in her soak, and we thought that could have been calcium/something contained in her pee maybe? As it was released in a different moment than a poo.

I have been given info about temperatures (I believe I was using the "standard ones" which were not specific to babies) so I have increased the temps accordingly and waiting to add a CHE stolen from my...

Thank you so very much 😊 I've been reading this forum for years and you are absolutely right there's a plethora of knowledge within these virtual pages. Thanks

Alright, those temps seem high for a horsefield. I will review and check with my vet again. (sorry I dont mean to sound annoying) thanks a lot.
