dry tortoise shell?

No problem! There have been instances of the clamps failing so definitely wanted to give you the heads up on that. Oh lol I’m with you! Yes don’t worry, it will feel warm when on🙂

hi, i was planning on buying a mesh screen to place over the enclosure so i could set the lights on top, rather than precariously balance them. do you know what type is best and won't melt or anything?

Mesh top is convenient but filters UVB (10 to 50%) and makes heating less effective. I would opt for cable trays, kitchen plate trays or wielded wire and hang heating/lightning under the mesh with hooks/chains.

Hopefully Alex suggestions help🙂you could perhaps make your own stand quite cheaply to hang the dome from a chain on too if you wanted, just two pieces of timber wood, some screw in hooks, chain and clip ends for the chain😊

yeah i think i'll just do that lol. by the way, do you know why she isn't eating, or possible reasons? she ate two days ago, but suddenly won't eat. i also haven't seen her poop for a while, and last time it was runny. i'm worried

Does she walk a lot as usual? This can be an impaction or temperatures are too low/high. I don't think she is trying to brumate yet but that's possible too.

yes she still walks. i think she has a decent range of temps, she can just walk to a warmer place if the temperature is too low. she really likes walking, and she will always walk no matter what. nothing i do stops her lol
