I wish you the best of luck!

When I built mine, I started with how much space I had available. I'm pretty sure it's a 5'4'4 . I used non toxic pond sealant on the bottom of my cage to make it water proof, and added an additional plastic liner on the bottom. Because I wanted live plants planted throughout the cage. If I had...

It gets about 100 everyday in the basking area but the rest of the cage is about 80• f. I think he just borrowed bc he was bored, and had the ability to do it.

Thank you for helping and guiding me, and thanks to everyone else who did as well!

Thanks! I just get so worried about him pyramiding. But his shell growth is amazing and now you can barley even tell he had pyramiding at all! His growth rate is starting to pick up too. I'm also a firm believer that they do better with the naturalistic setups. I think all animals do! All my...

It's gonna be about another week before the repti-sun uvb bulb gets here. Thanks for the info though. It's only temporary, I just...

I also use warmer water, just so it's not an arctic plunge!

Thank you! I've been trying to grow a few different types of cacti, but to no avail yet! Maybe your Russian would like to be under the heat lamp! I don't have any experience w Russians. But I put sweet Mahoney in there that morning, bc it was only 62 degrees in my house, and I didn't want him to...

We have this filter built in under our kitchen sink. I know the petstore I work at sells something similar called a r.o. Buddy. $60 for a filter that will do 50 gallons a day! Ours is overkill, but it comes in handy!
