Hi all! After living in a series of tubs until more permanent digs could be arranged, Stanley is now in a 40 gallon (36" x 18") critter tank with a Repti Fogger for humidity. Now that I don't have to worry about keeping him humid, of course, I'm worried about shell rot. Is it okay for it to be constantly misty in there, or should it be intermittent? He's on cypress mulch that's damp but never soggy.
Also, he has a pair of chinks in his armor on either flank that look like this:
He's about 4.5" now and they're in the same spot on either side so I'm guessing they're the beginnings of the carapace hinge. Is this a safe assumption?
Also, I don't know if I ever introduced my more recent acquisition, a heosemys grandis named Skip:
