Is Rose of Sharon the same as a Hibiscus ??

You could put your whole enclosure in a greenhouse cover. They sell them on Amazon. She’s a cutey!😉

Thank Mark! I’ll keep fingers crossed alittle while longer. 😉

Hi everyone!! Hoping you all can confirm Chunk is a girl?! (fingers crossed) She/ he is 2.5 years old, 12 inches long by 13 inches wide and about 6.5 pounds. Thanks! Melissa

That’s a great idea!!! Thank you guys as always for the advice. ?

Ok. Thanks. I was trying to do a combo box for during the day ( at most six hours) and night box. She free roams patio/grass area 6-8am and then again 3pm on. I did try to put her in the yard but she hears us and paces constantly and tries to climb out so we gave up. ? I’ll get working on the...

Yes the box is under the covered patio. We have too many critters to keep her out at night in the yard. I lock her up about 6pm for the night. She goes in the box by herself now. ?

That’s what I was thinking!! Do you mount on the wall or keep on the floor?

Hi guys!! So I just recently moved my girl( I think?) about two weeks ago to an outside patio enclosure instead of her heated inside box. She’s used to 82 degrees cool side and 95-100 basking. She has free roam of the patio with yard grass while we are home. So basically we just lock her up...

I,too, try to get the word out on FB. I think most just dismiss it but I do get some private messages from some people asking questions and I have helped a few people set up their closed top chambers. My husbands best friend is who we got all the wrong info from when we bought our hatchling...

@maggie3fan Thank you! I’m very proud of his shell! Daily soaks has been a commitment ?

I made this one if you don’t want to buy one. It’s worked out very well. Lined it with plastic, use fine orchid bark mixed with coco coir, one end basking, one end CHE and ambient light in middle. I don’t use a UVB bulb since my tort goes out everyday. Lights mount easily from inside roof...

Cute?

I put mine on newspaper and dewormed with panacur every two weeks for six weeks. My dog vet tested the fecal and prescribed the oral meds that I mixed with Mazuri. You can usually get the Panacur at a feed store, too.

I love the extra scutes!! Cute little guy!!?

Read the caresheet if you haven’t already. Mine looked like that when I got him. It will smooth out as he grows if he is raised in the right environment. You really need a larger closed chamber for him. They need areas of different temps which you can’t achieve in a small tank. You should have a...

Thanks to you! @Tom

Thanks!?

Partial enclosure won’t get it. The heat and humidity will escape out the open end. I understand what you’re going through. I was in the same boat a year ago as many others. I was told everything I was doing was wrong too. You just gotta bite the bullet and build or buy a closed chamber. It...

I just wanted to thank everyone that offered advice and took the time to send good vibes and and help last week. I’m happy to report my little guy is back to normal!
