Hi. So this is my first post! And I have a lot of questions. Hopefully someone can help. I got MoMo a month ago from my nephew/brother-in-law because they just got a dog and couldn't take care of him. He's one year old and about 5" in length and his shell already has pyramids on it...Apparently, they purchased MoMo from a reptile store when he was around 3 inches long. From there, he was kept in a glass cage and fed processed tort food! Bad news.
I've been doing a lot of reading and think I have almost everything to make MoMo happy. I just read Tom's post on the prevention of pyramiding and my first question is: at what age or size should i stop being concerned about high humidity?
I let MoMo out in the backyard for about 3-6 hours 5 days a week. There's an apple tree in my backyard and I read that apple seeds could be fatal. Is this true? And what can I do to prevent the consumption of apple seeds? (can't cut down the tree). Also, are guava, lemon grass, or oranges dangerous?
When's a good age to start housing MoMo outdoors completely?
Lastly, I have cuttlebone in his pen for calcium but just split open my finger getting the backshell off with a knife... is there an easier way to prep it?
