    How long do I let my new enclosure air out?

    The enclosure is 6 x 3, and the inside is waterproofed with sheet vinyl and silicone aquarium sealant. The silicone does have a smell to it, so my question is how long should I wait to transfer my little guy to his new home?

    Update! The table is officially finished. My husband stained the outside, but put sheet vinyl on the inside and sealed it with silicone. How long should I wait for it to air out before I put Koopa in his new home?

    The only organic soil they had said that it contained compost in it. Is that safe?

    We're at lowes now, and they only have cedar and pine blends as far as mulch goes. They don't have coco coir Either. What about sphagnum peat moss?

    Well I've only had him since wednesday and I'm not sure what exactly Petsmart had been feeding him, but Thursday morning I gave him a mixture of kale and chopped squash, and he ate every piece of squash in the bowl. I then found out that squash isn't really good for him, so I tried kale and...

    I couldn't find Pathway Bark at the Lowe's near where I live. Will cypress blend mulch do?

    Also, what is the best type of thermometer for the table? Or would a temp gun be better?

    I had no idea about those pellets! This morning I ran his food through my Ninja chopper (I don't know why I didn't think of that before). As far as the soil goes, I thought soil was okay as long as it doesn't have any additives? The reptibark I have now is 10 dollars for a small bag, and it took...

    Is the vapor bulb the only one I need? Or do I need a separate tube uv light as well for his open top table? I might try whole foods because I don't trust anything in my yard. My mother lives with my husband and I and she's tended the yard for years and I know for a fact she's used weed killer...

    Smarch, I thought he looked thin as well! he just looks so small to me to be a full grown tortoise. His tank at Petsmart was pitiful. A very small water dish and a food dish with some type of chopped salad that he hadn't touched. He ate and drank this morning like he'd never eaten before.
