Yes, they are in front of a window, but also have a uv bulb and a turtle tuff heat bulb. The basking area is 95-100 degrees. I pulled them from the outdoor pond because something ate two of them. I netted the pond when this happened to protext the medium sized turtles and the adults. I have...
I went to feed my little slider babies and 5 of the 11 have one red puffy eye. Could it be because their natural sunlight was blocked? Should I move them outside for a few days in safe area?
Pay for shipping and plan a suitable environment, and I will GIVE you two baby red-eared sliders. They entered the water from land in May. I live in north Georgia.
I am irritated with the back and forth here. Get the tortoise, or report them to the humane society or PETA. There ARE laws against the mistreatment of animals, so get off your behind and get the poor thing. You won't forgive yourself if it dies. I know I wouldn't. Tell anyone against it to...
I am keeping a Russian for a fellow teacher and he did the same thing to me yesterday, but he did pull his head in....he sneezed a lot while pulling his head in and his nose ran once....but he ate and ate and explored all day....weird. I left the lights on all night to warm him up. This...
I currently have 19 RES's and I believe it is. I have a couple who have lighter carapaces than others. I just think the poor little guy bleached out while sitting in that tub a while.....
Yes, I rescue, too. I HAVE TO! I drive around with a large bucket in the back of my car during the active months in case they are on our busy highway so I can rescue and relocate them. I start looking for our reptilians late April here in Georgia. I, too, get upset when I don't get there...
Thanks. I have reached out to the owner again and am waiting to hear back from her....I have been waiting ot hear from her for a while now....it's frustrating when they are not yours. He seems fine today....weird....no sneezing, but I am going to soak him....I left the light on overnight to...
Wait about a year and then build them an outdoor pond with a land area they can't escape from. That's what I did.....they love it....PM me if you want me to send pics
That is really cool.....I'm looking at yours when I build my outdoor one.....olve the cover with the hinges...I worry about hawks and coons where I live, so I'd feel better with a cover like that. Awesome....I know that took a while to build! Congrats!
Is Otis ill? I am taking care of him over the summer for a fellow Science teacher at school. When I got him home in June, his bulb was only 13 watts, and a coil household bulb. His eyes were puffy and white and he didn't look too hot. I took the liberty to add more greens to his diet and up...
So I am going to give Otis the Russian more heat until his owner decides to keep humor not. I put him in a 40 gallon tank. Took him out of 20 she houses him in. His bulb is not warm enough. At Petsmart. What do I get? I have aflourescent strip for light.m v b with u v b or mercury vapor...
Awwww..you guys are sweet. Dad was proud. We enjoyed working together and I sort of became less afraid of his saws. We sealed it with Minwax water based poly. Multiple sprayed coats. Front window is plexiglass. I was wondering what I might put on bottom under substrate? Any ideas? Thx.
