Oh that’s perfect! I bet I could give you a run for your money on who’s more “technologically challenged” as I like to say! 😂😂 Thank you for the information and so very glad it’s simple to use! Good luck with your little buddy too! 🐢😊

I would like to know how this is working for you and more info if you don’t mind? If you have a link to the product that would be great.

Hi. I am definitely not an expert and really a newbie myself. BUT I saw you understood that someone said they could flip back over by themselves. I think when they’re older they may have an easier time trying to do this but my baby was never able to do it and they can die from it if I’m not...

Paula I just want to tell you that I think it’s actually very mature and unselfish of you to ask for insight, and also that you realize and admit your shortcomings. We all have them but many aren’t so honest with themselves or others about them. You are growing up and maturing and soon starting...

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts. I greatly appreciate it. I’m glad that I’ve learned so much from everyone here. I just wish I would have done the proper research before I got him. It won’t be anytime soon, but maybe eventually I’ll get another one someday and if so I’d...

Hi. Unfortunately he did not make it. I waited 48 hours with no movement even with soaking him two more days and trying everything I could. I took him yesterday to be cremated so I can have his ashes back. Heartbroken. ??

No changes yet. ?

Thank you @wellington. I will move him a little cooler now. I doubt that drowning would be his only COD either with all his struggles but I hope that wasn’t what finished him. Thank you for always being so helpful and responsive. I really appreciate it.

Thank you Ron. If you look at the few threads I’ve created/commented on (not many) you can see the difficulties I’ve/he’s had, but if there’s anything specific I don’t mind elaborating.

Thank you. I just moved one of his hides to cover only his eyes/head so he can stay near the basking but give his eyes some darkness. Not sure if that matters.

This happened 2 hours ago and It’s been 1 hour since I put him back in his enclosure and he hasn’t moved. His head still partially out like the pic. His legs are not AS limp as earlier but zero response or movement. The soak was only up to the first line on his carapace and when I moved him to...

I haven’t been able to find a reliable tort vet. I asked for any recommendations again last night. @mastershake was kind enough to provide a trusted one but they aren’t taking new patients. I hate to take him just anywhere but is anything better than nothing at this point? This morning his eyes...

Nothing is coming out. I don’t know that it was caused by drowning but it may have ended his life after almost a month of not eating. I’m a wreck. ??

I was soaking him in shallow baby food and he struggled to get out but he wasn’t coming up for air and now his head is in his shell and arms are limp. Not responding at all. OMG did I let him drown?? Is there any resuscitation I can do??

Ok thank you ? I’ll definitely try that in the morning. Thanks for the Mazuri info too.

Hello. My Henry has been in his new well regulated closed enclosure now for a week tomorrow and he only ate a literal few bites 3 days ago. That was the morning after the first time I added pedialyte to his baby food soaks but not a thing since then of any other time. He started getting sick and...

Thank you so much for all of this. I’m glad that others may have been equally as nervous! ?

Also thought of two other things. -I spent a lot of time with him, especially since being sick, checking on him, soaks, etc. and just walking by he would see, hear, and smell me, Now with his new enclosure and being in my office instead of living room he can’t do any of that. Could that make him...

Thank you. I have one Che on a thermostat set at 80 and it’s staying at least that but at night I’ve added a second Che to get it to stay over 80. I guess it’s the point but the one on the thermostat just kicks on and off all day. I’m thinking about kicking it up to 85. I’m slowly raising his...

Thank you. Yes they are water dishes but I was just thinking when I put him in that I need to get some clay pot holders that are bigger and a little deeper. I’ll have to try the Mazuri food especially if it’s different than what I have? I’ve tried feeding him Zoo med grassland pellets dissolved...
