i think i read once that if they are incubated at too high or low (i dont remember which) of a temp that it can cause split scutes .. still a cutie though!!

Very cute ! Its a turtle model :)

I don't know if its the phone picture , but it looks more like a 3 toed box turtle in my opinion .

Do you have a UVB light for them ? That is very important for their development and should be placed about 12 inches from the ground of the cage ( or check the manufacturer directions )

That is so cool !

Aww Nora is beautiful !

I have a 100 gallon trough that I use and I built a frame out of wood and it has a screen top on most of it and a hinged door on part ( for changing water) and the frame is bolted right into the plastic tub and I padlock it at night . We have horrible "city raccoons " in Chicago and they will...

Yes I use the 18 inch long tubes

Cuties !!

Good for you ! It's really nice of you to help the little guy out :)

Ceramic heat emmiter or a heat panel. Neither produce visable light so you can't possibly mess up their sleep! Pro products makes really great panels and they last a LONG time compared to any bulb I have ever used .

I use 5.0 reptisun bulbs for the winter and try to get them outside the rest of the year !

Very cute! Will you be returning him to the wild in the spring ?

RIP ! At least you have him a good life, even if it was for a short amount of time !

Beautiful turtle . I love your username also !!

It might just take him a while to trust you . I have had my boxies for a year , and they are still kind of shy around me ...

How cute !!
