I have never known what gender my two stars are could anyone please help? They were born in June 2021.

Thank you for the advice, What antibiotic cream could I buy? And can I use this with coconut oil? Will the shell overtime sort itself out?

Unfortunately I was using the clamp that came with it. I’m going to drill a hole in to the roof of the enclosure so it can hang from that instead. Is a trip to a vet required? What about anti fungal cream? I feel terrible

The ambiet is 28 degrees throughout the day and they live together in a vivarium, This was never my first choice and I enquired buying an enclosed chamber off @Markw84 but unfortunately he couldn’t ship to the uk so I went with a vivarium.

Hi Tom Thankyou for your reply, The temperature under my basking spot is 35 degrees in the day and then at night I have a deep heat projector from Arcadia reptile that’s set to 26 degrees. Would you change the temperatures to encourage less basking time? I’ll attach a photo of my two stars they...
