Just posted a thread, but didn't remember members names to address it to.
If you can help, and I'm sure you can, I just changed my tank. Nothing permanent since I keep moving but an upgrade from a 20 gal to a 40 gal. I'm having trouble with heating it since my light cover only about 25 percent of the tank. I remember reading somewhere in this forum about something under the tank? Where could I learn more about that.?
And humidity is also much harder to maintain. The smaller tank was easier.Help Please.
I wish I could help, but I don't know what to suggest. :(
If you post this in the "water turtles" section, you should get a good response! Go first to "Species Specific," scroll down to "Turtles" and you'll find the "Water Turtles" section there.
I'm not trying to be unfriendly- I just don't know how to help you with this.
Good luck! :)

What is it made of? How big is it? And does it appear to be male or female?
Good morning, roommates! Trying to check up with all the messages. Not very successful yet as I have to run out occasionally with a baseball bat to chase away two aggressive dogs from the older street dog we're looking after. I'm one fierce mom, you see, and you can still take these matters into your hands in Turkey.
YAAAAYYYY LENA!!!!!!!! :<3::<3::<3::<3:

Good morning.
early to work this morning. The cool air has me full of energy. It's in the mid 50s.
I just bought a big rat to work in a trap and set him free. He ran at full speed into a chain link fence. Amazing the amount of noise generated!
Anyway, I'm fresh out of good deeds for the day.
Gas station Tuna salad sandwich for breakfast and a diet coke. It's 4:40 A.M.
Good morning Ed!:)
Happy Christmas Tidgy!
Caught a cat on my stairwell this morning going to the toilet.
Asked it politely to leave and it did.
Made rather a lot of noise about it though, the neighbours came out to see what all the fuss was about

I've got the heaters on in my two night boxes, but this morning at about 3:30 I still found two of my tortoises sleeping out in the cold.
Most of them head for the warmth, but two are very stubborn or just dumb!
I placed hem inside.
I could hear one breathing. My biggest male. I'll have to look at him when I get home and make sure he doesn't seem to have an R.I going on.
Hope he's alright.
They can be incredibly stupid.:(

The member has a sulcata, but I have tried to offer them advice in a PM they sent me.
Think it's okay.
