Hydration squiggles! Do you see those little light colored squiggles? This is what a healthy, well hydrated baby's shell should look like.
How do you grow a baby with a beautiful shell?
- Daily soaking
- Misting shell every 2-3 hours with warm water
- Good weeds for food
- 30 mins of natural sun daily (while weather is at least 55°F), or high quality artificial UVB/UVA
- Provide a hot humid hide
- access to a calcium source (cuttlefish, plus 1x per week sprinkled on food)
