I have some questions about this rule and want to hear all of ur opinions about it. Do u think this is a good rule for turtles? Is it really enough? What about all the species of turtles is this rule ok for every species? A slider will need more swim space than a spotted turtle for example...

Cause of temperature drops I had to put my sulcata in a plastic storage bin inside. Temperature is 77 f in my room The plastic bin is big enough that he can turn around in it hes 4 years old How long can he stay in it I guess better days come again in a week Or should I buy a plastic pool in...

I have to admit that I was a bit naive I actually put them together ..... after watching them for an hour they didn't seem intrested in one another besides a little smell test so I thought hm seems to work but as I looked later again I saw that the tegu was constantly attacking my torts hind...
