Hello guys,its Chels.So me and howard managed to get twenty five bucks today so we went and got Koopa some stuff.We decided to move him to a bigger container we found in the back.We also got him some coconut fiber for his Substrate and got a thermometer and Hygrometer.Also got a humidity box(that clear thing in the corner lol).Just gotta put his water dish and hide in.He moves around alot more.He goes to the corners,tries to climb up.This is our second day with him so howard says he just needs to adjust.Im hoping he's right.Feed Back?

That's nice, Chelsea:

Looks like there's plenty of room for him to roam around. He does have a bit of pyramiding going one. Now that you've got that nice hiding place, you can keep it moist in there and maybe the pyramiding will stop,

Thanks,we'll keep that in mind.He's sleeping on his lettuce right now.Earlier he was walking to all the sides,scratching and then turning around.Does he just need adjusting or could it be something else.He bobs his head alot before he moves for some reason.

They usually have to try to escape before they accept their new home and settle down.

Sometimes their heads will bob a bit as they breathe. Its normal.
