I've recently acquired a pair of red cheeked mud turtles. They are great and have shown a lot of breeding behavior. I noticed initially that the female is baking on the land portion at all times. The previous owner did mention this but from his observation it was due to the male being a bit...

Can't wait to see this finished!

I used four paver bricks to create a bunker/cave hide for my tort.

Daily soak and eating some cactus and spring mix.

Thanks Yvonne G. I pay it down often but now that I let the top of the substrate dry out, I find it hard to keep that layer compact.

Grew so much over night.

About 2 months. I got him from Chris Leone at Garden State and if I remember correctly he was a hatchling from late July or early August.

I'm hoping to soon. My work schedules is wacky and by the time I get home he's in the hide or burrowed down sleeping.

Ibera Greek.

I hope so. I did remove the pot, but I still am using a terra cotta saucer for his water. Im keeping a close eye on it. I have improved his enclosure by now!

Thank you. Before I got my tort and I was lurking in this forum my favorite thing to do was browse through enclosures. I will be documenting any changes I make to his enclosure. Hoping to build my own closed chamber enclosure one day.

I recently made a few changes to Mr. Turtles enclosure. Here's a link to it before http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/new-hatchling-new-enclosure.100989/#post-942907 I created a new hide and got rid of the terra cotta pot. I used four left over paver bricks I had in the shed and created a...

I should have mentioned that I was keeping the substrate extremely wet. I drained as much water as I could on Saturday as well. Now I'm keeping the top layer dry to were it gets a light tan color and under that layer its still moist.

Correct ascott. I purchased and installed the CHE on Saturday.

When I posted this the temps were: 105-110 under the light (depending on how high or low the lamp was) warm side 90-95 cool end in the 80's at night my temps were dropping to the high 60's-low 70's. I have since installed a CHE and my temps remain the same during the day and at night I keep it...

Thanks guys. I'll keep him away from that. I just planted the testudo mix. While that grows I'll continue with his regular dandelions.

I have a good 100 sq ft area in my yard with this weed growing on it. Can my Greek hatchling eat this? Trying to vary his diet.

Yes, it's wet enough that water will drip if I squeeze it. I though coco coir didn't allow mold! Thanks for your responses.

This is the rest of the enclosure if it helps!
