So that’s what I was thinking, but I saw those yellow flowers in an entirely different patch and didn’t see them in this, so I wasn’t sure if it could be something different since it didn’t have the yellow flowers. To be safe, we will stay away

I stumbled upon a lot of this outside and while I am trying to avoid less grocery store foods for Bob, I am still learning about outdoor weeds and plants for him. I was curious if anyone can identify this. Thanks in advance

Ok went and think I got the right uv. Can you confirm?

Here the lighting from under

this is the heating we were told to get. Obviously I am now learning the pet store doesn’t give the best advice.

basking is 95-97, warm stayed around 90, cool temp is 82, over night temp 75-76

Thank you for this info on correcting the enclosure. Is this normal behavior? Or am I to assume he is too hot? Or something else is wrong due to the temps ?

This is similar to what we had… is this a NO??!!!

Just trying to take it all in. Yes it appears the pet store has no idea what they have been telling us for weeks. We have been going in and thinking we were getting their knowledge prior to getting Bob. Wow do I feel silly. Trying to properly prioritize the possible changes needed asap. Ramped...

We just got this “Russian” as we were told from the pet store. That’s all my child asked for this Christmas. They obviously told us he was a little guy (as I am not finding out to be false). I was just looking for some input on gender, age, ect. My child has named it “Bob” so we were curious if...
