Hi!
I don't know if people remember Marley still, but he's still with us! He's about 9 months old now, and his shell measures about 3". He is very active and eats very very well. He recently started to half burrow himself, which is superrrr cute
He has a big attitude.. which we find funny. But yup! I attached some pictures of Marley. They're a bit blurry because they were taken with a cell phone.. but once I get my camera from the car, I will upload more pictures.
So Marley's had problems with fungus and white hard excretions. His first fungus we got rid of and when we thought he got it again.. I was very sad. But what we thought was fungus on his shell.. it turned out to be the swirly white things! They are SO cute! I wish I coudl take a picture of that and post it up. Hahah why is it that they do that? As for white hard excretions, we took him to the vet once to get x-rays taken to check if he was okay. There was nothing inside of him that the x-ray could detect. Marley doesn't have hard white excretions anymore, but he does excrete whites occasionally. I almost feel like he excretes it too often.. and today I saw him excrete something brown, but it sort of seemed like a mix of pee and poo.
What do you recommend to stop him from excreting the whites? He is soaked daily, his food is soaked daily, his enclosure is humid.. what is it that he is missing? :T Thanks!
Tell me that Marley is cute! I'm in love with this little one <3 hahah
Oh and of course, any comments or concerns are more than welcome. How does his shell look?
