OK thanks, he was soaking the tank( from biting the bowl) width wise. But now he is soaking the tank length wise. I'm using coconut substrate, which is what u nice people suggested. I'm just not sure why its moved length wise. Is there something else I should be doing or trying? However its...

That is very helpful! Thanks. And I am so sorry to mother u all with stupid ?s, but the way I look at it is I would rather ask a bunch of ?s and him be safe, but still I am sorry for the stupid ?s

So if an old bookcase will do, would regular plywood work as long as I lined the side with pond liner? That's been what's holing up everything is everywhere I turn people say use this wood don't use the wood, I know about the pond liner and I have 4 big brother in laws that will help. I have the...

The only thing I haven't tried is rearranging the tank. I haven't done it cause the only other place to put his hide is in a corner andhernlikes to climb over iy and slide down so I didn't want to block it off. I can move everything around just on opposite sides. I'm ing to make a turtle table...

And after I put the stones on the outside of the bowl, he now climbs into the water dish and bites it from that side. Apparently I have a very stubborn, thrifty and sneaky turtle. But if he is just trying to do something with his beak that's OK with me. I just want to be sure he can't hurt...

It is his water bowl, and its the orange Terra cotta one. I just replaced it. It has stones around it as well. He's got a cuttlebone I tried to put that near it t he just ignores it. He is flooding the tank worse with this bowl, and just making mud out of the substrate. His beak looks fine as...

yes he gets vitamins and the bowl in the orange color. he even has a cuttlebone in there. i just thinkits weird that after a year he just started biting it. i do have the bowl in the same place cause there isnt room for it anywhere else butiwill turn it just to be safe. we are workingon getting...

ok i did what u all suggested, i bought a new bowl. a bigger terra cotta bowl. i cleaned out his tank and put it in. after he checked it out and got in, the next thing he did was start biting it. he bites the boewl and pulls it a little bit. im afraid hes either going to hurt himself or bite it...

He's not flipping the bowl he is literally biting it, and it moves it about a millimeter and makes small waves that spill it. I am in the process of making a tort table and setting up an enclosure outside but h is to small yet I think to be outside full time. And I want to get him acclimated to...

I have one family member with a grass yard, most of the yards here are made of rocks. I was getting grass from her but two weeks ago she sprayed snake repellent all over, so there went that plan

On the food sheet its says they can have cat grass, is that the kind that is for sale at like petsmart?

Well the only good thing about him biting the bowl is spilling water all over the coconut then when I mix it with the dry coconut to even it out it does raise the humidity. But other than now where its 43% humidity it is normally between 23% and 29% no matter what I do. And I did get a new uvb...

Oh and what about carnations, and if they r safe does color matter? I am so sorry to bug u guys but its like I said I don't internet well lol which is y this forum is a godsend. I'm asking bout the flowers cause when hubby wants to get me some for whatever reason I told him to get roses or...

OK heres another ?, and I've read the list and didn't see this one on the good or bad list. Basil? And it says they can have bok choy but I've read they cannot have any cabbages or spinach. And if u guys could choose, cause I have to actually plant grass outside for keagans enclosure, is there a...

But even not having a computer I still went on the internet to do my research but for everthing it says to do there is an equal amount of things telling u not to do those things. Which is why I am so thankful for this form, I get to ask people who have actually seen a sulcata,and u were right...
