I purchased Koopa here in Texas from a local pet store. They had two 8 month olds and about five 1 year old. She stated her family breeds them themselves. I was like okay!!! Great!! I had done little research but only on what to feed them. Then i found this forum and WOWZERS what i have learned. Koopa has pyramiding at 8 months old. They were kept on a little bit of SAND, a huge light in a 20 gallon tank. No water dish. Just tortoises.
As a result Koopa never gets on his water dish on his own (although) he loves water, he avoids it. I try placing him in it every couple of hours just to "train " him to do it. As a result i tend to leave him in water for about 20 minutes (warning every time it cools)
Is 20 minutes too long?? I spray him 4-5 times daily and mist the enclosure just as much (as Tom advised) i am really working on getting him right.
How long is too long to be in the water??
