Tort/Turt Tables

[Flying Jenny]

Here is the temporary enclosure I made for our new hatchling since she has to be quarantined from our other tort for a while. It is a wine box with a liner in the bottom. Her lighting is not pictured here, but she has a mercury vapor fixture for basking and UVB, and I have put a food bowl in there for her now. This was taken the first day I set it up.

We use shower board to line our snake cages, and this should work well for lining tort tables as well. Silicone to seal it in.

I have tried the sand and soil and I got little bugs that were crawling all over my little guy what else can I use the wouldnt attract bugs.

if you want to use the sand soil, mix freeze it in the freezer this will put the bugs into a dormant state. you then need to sieve it, the soil will fall through but the bugs will be caught.

chuck the bugs outside because they will soon make up and you dont want aload of bugs in ya house!

Or get those plastic bags made for baking a turkey in and bake your soil.

T-P, What kind of plant is this? Is it edible?
