Hello! My name is Danielle and I have a 6 month old cherry head named Soup! ( I think he is a cherry head can anyone confirm? He has the large elbow spurs) I’ve had him a little less than 3 weeks. He’s very shy in his house but not head shy when I take him out. I keep his humidity at 80%. He has a heat lamp and UV light on a timer, 12 on 12 off. I will post some photos of his enclosure soon. I’m still making improvements. He has Spagmum Moss now but I just ordered cocoa coir to mix in.
I soak him every other day for 10-15 min. He eats spring mix with a variety of fruits and veggies. For protein so far he likes meal worms (I now know grubs are better).
Should I be concerned about the line/indentation on his shell? He has a healthy appetite and chewed his cuttlebone a bit. I have calcium powder but am not sure how much to give. He’s only 2.7 x 2.2 inches.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong area. Nice to meet everyone!
Edit- added an in progress photo of his house. I have since added some plants ( aloe and wandering jew)
