We were just about to freshen it up so any suggestions will be used right away.
Thank you!! I wish I could attach video cuz I do have a video of him tripping but I’ve added in some photos so you have a better idea and he actually got back to his side after 5 min of struggle. I’m guessing more...
Sorry for causing alarm, he was just dirty and then I had a very busy week so sorry for the delay I have pictures and I just want to say thank you so much! TP’s color looks amazing and he’s so much more alert and he doesn’t pace around too much anymore although he still has to touch every corner...
I have another question, I tried cleaning TP today and the dark marks on his head and front legs wouldn’t come off not that he let me scrub them but I tried. So now I’m concerned that he could have gotten burned or something from the lamps? Can they get burned? Is the uvb bulb I have too big or...
Awesome! Thanks I’m so happy to hear that :) so glad I found this forum!
The turtle table has water proof lined trays so the substrate is not resting on any wood. The daytime temperatures run from 84 on the cold side to 100-105 depending on. The time of day directly under the floodlight. When...
One more thing he gets very dirty because he likes to dig to the bottom of every hid he has, is it ok to attempt to clean him when he’s soaking and if so how do I do this? I tried using. A q-tip but he freaks out n hides. It looks like he had dirt on the top of his head and his front claws.
Thank you everybody for all the great advice. I promised I would check in once I had gotten the appropriate set up… so here’s is me checking in.
I’ve made TPs living space double the size, enclosed it with a tarp on the bottom and a greenhouse cover on top. I’ve swapped out the substrate in...
Thank you everyone for all your helpful advice. I have a very long list of to do’s and after it’s done I will post back here to make sure I’ve gotten everything correct.
Thanks again everyone :) is it ok. To put real plants in the babies enclosure or should that wait till they’re older and...
Thank you! That is incredibly helpful! We will try that. If we do attach the other side of the table would you recommend more than one uvb light and flood light? Also how do we know how big of an enclosure he needs? The bottom of his shell measures a bit under 2 in long so he’s very tiny fits...
Can you please post a link to the correct bulb? And ok so he needs a new enclosure. What size should it be and what should it be made out of? A picture or description of something appropriate would be so helpful
Can you send an example of the correct enclosure? Enclosed entirely but not glass would look like what? Would it have wood all the way across and how would the light get in? Is it ok for the light to go through plexiglass like what is the top of the enclosure typically made out of? Do you have...
He’s only a few inches long and the table is 40 in deep and 55in wide … that seems plenty big enough to me but we do have another one that we can attach to this one we weren’t planning to do all that until he’s bigger. Does that mean he would need more lighting too? Or two heat spots? I know...
Part of the cage is enclosed and the humidity and temp are on point I googled incandescent flood bulb and that is what we have. Plus we are in southern cali so the entire room is hot and humid. He has the on wheels table so it can be wheeled outdoors when someone is able to be around like...
This is TP he was given to us a month or two ago in a glass aquarium and he wasn’t being cared for very well. We fixed him up to the best of our ability but we are very curious as to his/her age? And if anyone has suggestions for how to keep her/him healthy please share. We keep him inside for...
