No, he only did 15 min soaks in a Tupperware container. I've done up to an hour until he poops lukewarm water in a 18" wide tub. Why do ask?

Awesome! Seems since I regulated the heat he's been lazy haha How old would you guys say Raph is? His shell is 5" long

He's really enjoying the new spot! He doesn't even burrow anymore since I put the thick layer of moss in. Here's a few more Is the lazy legs normal?

Sweet thanx

It's an aquarium. He's used to the glass, only bumps up against it when he wants food, clean water or a bath. But I have a 3d background running around the sides and back and I plan on putting fake plants suction cupped to the front part you can see above the wood. He's much less messy...

Ok thanx! I have the coco coir and moss down and am in the process of creating a penthouse suite for raph. Just need to secure the ramp and put some fencing up so he doesn't topple off. Since he likes climbing so much

I'm using coco coir as a base, then spagnum on half of the coir and the other half is either coco husk or cypress mulch. I just have limited selection where I live

Could I use coarse coconut fibre substrate instead of cypress or orchid?

So the temps and humidity are pretty stable now. I've picked up decorations and I have driftwood and all the substrate except the orchid bark. I absolutely can't find it. Is there another substitute I could use? Fine cypress mulch? It's the last thing I need to do a complete overhaul on raphs...

Well it's as closed as it can be seeing as I'm using a glass aquarium lid on the left side. But something has to be escaping.

Alright! Finally hit a solid 88/80. Excellent. Now I need to figure out a way to properly seal around the glass side. I think I'm losing heat and humidity through it. When I get plants and driftwood in there it should hold the heat and humidity better too right?

1500

Whether I use the temperature controller or not the heater is constantly going. So plugging the dome in by itself is the same as plugging it into the controller. I can see this always on The new dome is rated for 150w

With the wide dome, 100w che and lower than before it only reached 81. So I just put the 150w Che back in. Getting annoying haha

Hey guys, sorry been way too busy! Crazy snow storms here the last week. That's quite different from most opinions Pearly! Very informative thanx for the read Ok Anyfoot, so I put an 8.5" dome in to replace my 5.5" one. I put it under the piece of wood instead of level with the top. And I put...
