Hi! I wanted to post an update on my tort! He's still showing signs of pyramiding.
He stays in a closed chamber, with an automatic misting system. It goes off 3 times a day, one in the afternoon for 2 minutes. All the other times are for 20 seconds. He also has coconut fiber substrate.
I use the Zoomed 10.0 HO T5 UVB, and he has one ceramic heat at 100w and one at 50w. I very rarely turn the 50w one on, mainly in winter if we are below freezing.
His humidity never drops below 50%. It usually stays at 80% on the side with the 100w ceramic heat and 90% on the other side.
I also soak him for about every other day.
Is there anything else I can be doing? Or recommend? I just feel like I must be doing something wrong and want to make sure he’s as healthy and smooth as possible.
Is the CH sucking out too much of the humidity? Should I try a different bedding?
Pyramiding?
Hi! I wanted to check what everyone’s thoughts were on this. My baby seems to be showing signs of pyramiding. He’s about a year and a half years old. He stays in a closed chamber, with an automatic misting system. It goes off 3 times a day for 2 minutes. He also has coconut fiber substrate...
