So I've had this guy almost 5 days now and he hasn't eaten anything. I'm getting a little concerned - all he's done is burrowed and stayed under the substrate. His head has been out and he seems very alert and likes to watch me, but I can't get him to eat anything. I've tried turtle sticks, all...

Will do, thank you!

Phew, thanks! I’m going to use the foot cream for another week since there was white. Also, how can you tell it’s female?

Also his cute little wishbone nose

Found this little guy in a box on the side of the road the other day. I believe he’s a Central American Painted/Ornate Wood Turtle? Think he’s a he but unsure, don’t think he’s quite grown yet. I took him home and got him set up in a 5ft tub with coconut fiber, cypress mulch, and bark. Large...

I discovered shell rot on my guy yesterday; there was a lot of the white substance I’ve read about and I immediately went out to get an antiseptic cleaner, providine iodine, and antifungal ointment. Today the white stuff seems to be gone but this black spot remains - is this serious? It’s not...

Found this guy (a slider of some sort I think) boogieing across a busy road the other day and relocated him to a creek a couple miles away (the only water area nearby). He was surprisingly friendly about traveling but got shy upon relocation.

That’s a great idea, I can definitely cover most of it aside from where the lamps sit

My enclosure is half covered in plexiglass and half in a tight wire mesh, I’m hoping if I keep it under the plexiglass there’s a better chance of it holding! Will update when I get them and set them up

My new redfoot’s cute funky bump! It’s why I chose him of the two at petco, actually

Got home to discover I have a bulldozer, plowed over all the plants and moved around his log [emoji23]
