It will encourage downward root growth and the clay pots will give off a lot of moisture. I go in...

    Shell rot?

    I had some thing similar not too long ago. I bathed them, with a soft tooth brush applied Hibiclens 1:10 ratio with water. Dried and applied cream. I did a 50/50 of athletes foot cream and triple antibiotic cream. With 2-3 days It looked like it never happened. :)

    Right! I usually see painted turtles. When I was 17 I found 2 Red Efts crawling in the grass. So cool when we come upon these rare moments!

    Is this a real species

    Saw a babie softshell on Lake Erie shore here in Northeast Ohio yesterday. Very cool and cute. I thought he may have been injured. My brother touched him and he scrambled into the lake. He was fast!

    humidity problems in closed chamber

    You’ll need a step drill bit to punch clean holes through plexi, if you go that route. The issue will be your heat lamp. That’s a lot of scoring. The simple fix would be go the route Toddrick reccomends. It’s inexpensive and buys you time to plan for a larger enclosure.

    humidity problems in closed chamber
