    Advice - Received Sick Baby Box Turtles

    They need need heat and ugh. Mercury bulbs cover both, but for my Russian tortoise, I have her with a heat bulb and uvb tube in one tortoise table in order to provide light over the entire enclosure and at the same time give her the temp gradient along with the uvb.

    Advice - Received Sick Baby Box Turtles

    Hello All

    She was nervous about the dragons at first, but warmed up to them fast and even took over one of them. It is now one of the most spoiled animals here. She even books the dragons nose on her nose. Makes me nervous when she does it, but she hasn't been bit in the two years she has done it, so I...

    Hello All

    Yes, the same to you and your family. They are awesome reptiles. I am looking to get my first ball python when our tax return finally gets here and then that's it. Wife made me promise the python would be the last one.

    Hello All

    Congratulations. My wife is also expecting. Our daughter is due in June, about two weeks after my son's birthday. I like your setup. When it comes to the bearded dragon, I am closer to expert, but when it comes to the Russian tortoise, I am more of a beginner. I changed my uvb from the compact...

    Sulcata she’ll rot?

    My Russian Tort had a little bit of shell rot when I bought her from the pet store, but it looked different from what seems to be on your sulcata. I put antifungal cream on the bad areas for a couple days and then I put trip me antibiotic ointment on it for about a week until it was gone and...

    Hello All

    I just checked her out again. Her tail is straight. It is thicker toward the base and then becomes thinner half way down.

    Hello All

    Her tail seems to always be straight. I've never seen it to the side.

    Hello All

    Yes. She appears to be a female due to the asterisk shaped area under her tail, but from what I understand, both sexes will have that until the reach sexual maturity. Her shell is 4 1/2 inches long, but I know it is difficult to determine age based on shell size.

    Hello All

    Thank you for the advice. I didn't know that about the uvb bulb. I did however move the hide to the cool side today. I'm glad I did now. Lol. The water bowl I actually took out two days ago because it was taking up too much space, glad I did that too. Thanks again for the advice and compliment...

    Hello All

    I'm counting on it. I'm sure a few others will say hello and kind of converse about different tortoise topics.

    Hello All

    So far I have one uvb and one heat bulb on one side of the enclosure. I want to add more light to the cold side, but don't want to over do it. I have an led light bar I could use, but it is pretty bright and don't want to blind my tortoise.

    Hello All

    That looks good. I wouldn't mind maybe following your build style a little when I build a better one later on.
