I have female 3 toed box. Here for the last week or so I have noticed that her right eye has been getting puffy and having trouble opening. I have soaked her regularly in a partial erythromycin soak for a week, Adjusted humidity levels, Changed the bedding, and have done the turtle eye drops...

I recently rescued a Asian box turtle/ Malayan box turtle from a rep expo. They had the poor thing in a completely terrestrial environment and they need at least a 50/50 aquatic and terrestrial setup. Well she eats very nicely and basks. However her shell is brittle and flaky. Not sure what the...

Going to try to build soon. Just haven't decided on the specifics yet. since we are short on space Im thinking I will do a shelves and multi level enclosures with flip proof Ramps to increase over all square footage.

I run the light for 11 hours 9:00am to 8:00pm

Digital thermometer but I'm about to get a temp gun for more accurate readings. Again about to expand the enclosures but I have limited space at the moment. Small apartment. He ate a good amount today, it seems he just wanted a little more privacy. Mixed the worms with his turtle diet stepped...

I meant my 50 gallon terrarium that I keep the Russians in

I spray a few times a day for humidity but I would like something in the enclosure to increase humidity like a dripper but not something that leaves it completely soaking wet or anything.

This is a picture of the enclosure. One uvb/uva 100 watt heat combo on the warm side. Cypress mulch coco coir mix. Lots of fake plants to hide and dig under. And a pool to soak in. Temps in the high 80's

This is my three toed male boxie. I can only get him to eat a very small amount of the box turtle diet pellets. He use to eat lots of other things fruits, feeder fish, meal worms, earth worms. Now he won't eat any of it. I have had him for about 3 months now and it's been like month that he...

I guess my main concern is his inactivity. Is it possible I don't have it warm enough or too warm. Humidity levels etc. is this normal behavior or is there something I'm missing?
