Straight from the hose. Very coldI purchased a mister from Amazon and the water isn't as chilly.
Isn't your water straight from the hose? The mister water droplets are smaller.Straight from the hose. Very cold
Neat idea! I guess, when there will be a muddy puddle under the tent, he will enjoy it even moreView attachment 373502View attachment 373503View attachment 373504View attachment 373505So I set this up on a timer why I’m at work. It goes off for 15 minutes on the hour. He has been using it regularly since I did it. I keep a bunch of hay there and the water goes under the tent and really cools the ground as well. Today is 106 in Columbia SC
Yes. From the hose. Just propped it up and bought a timer at Home Depot. He has been loving it. He’ll go to his house but comes out every time he hears it. I can watch from work on our security camera. Just been a tuff 3 weeks over 100 and. O rainIsn't your water straight from the hose? The mister water droplets are smaller.
Ya it doesn’t get too muddy only goes on for 15 minutes. But cools the ground under it. He actually started sleeping under the tent.Neat idea! I guess, when there will be a muddy puddle under the tent, he will enjoy it even more
Love it. I’m gonna check out that sandbox to see how high it is. I’m sure my big boy could climb in and out. I was about to start a concrete pond tomorrow.We are having our first heat wave of the year and I've been running the sprinkler in a similar schedule. The main difference is that I'm sitting with them in the mist. I used to put out kiddie pools for them but they would get destroyed. The turtle sandbox gets an endorsement from me. They all tromp through it when the sprinkler is on. They are also making a mud wallow in the tall grass. View attachment 373518
The redfoot in the pool is 22lbs. He can get in and out fine but I did make a wood ramp on the outside and put a couple of bricks so they have traction to push themselves out.Love it.

You could also bury it a bit if to high.Love it. I’m gonna check out that sandbox to see how high it is. I’m sure my big boy could climb in and out. I was about to start a concrete pond tomorrow.
Link for a video?I’ve been researching a lot about building ponds. There’s a YouTube channel called the tortoise whisperer and he’s built these concrete ponds with decorative pebbles with drains and all that stuff. I’m gonna attempt that. Plus, if I do it good it will look really nice in his pen.
