Well! She hates baths but likes being misted, and if I revoke berries she will eventually break down and eat her greens haha she is very much like an old woman. Once left my door unlatched- she isn't interesting enough for the dogs, so I was never worried about them, but I have two CATS that...
I got you covered on tomatoes! I was wondering how they would get their fiber, will have to get some commercial pellets :3
Today's offering: mulberry leaves rinsed from outback, two small blackberries, a cherry tomato and a cucumber slice (note jealous dogs for scale of deliciousness- they...

Perfect! Two of those would be even more surface area. Maybe this is a dumb question, but if you only cut the holes big enough for the lights, would she get enough fresh air? I've seen herpers with tote tanks cut out the center of the lid and replace with mesh, but then in this case it...

Yes! Adding ferns and mosses are the goal :) That's a great idea to add the dead leaves, thank you! There are definitely some terracotta plant saucers laying around, so I will go ahead and swap them out. Thank you!
That would be the ideal situation, but unfortunately I am a renter I don't have any land to keep her in an outdoor setup right now. Eventually though, that would be wonderful!
I think it is pressed board- that's why I layered garbage bags on the bottom to help keep it dry. Maybe I should swap out the fountain for a water bowl?
I apologize if this is a completely obnoxious post, but this is my very first enclosure for my very first turtle and I'm stoked! My -as yet unnamed- adult female Eastern box turtle. It took me right around 7 hours to get this work in progress set up. Still need UVB and live plants :) Critiques...
I get mosses for cheap at gardening stores/lowes etc compared to pet stores. Same stuff, different audience, different price. At either place just gotta be careful it doesn't have added coloring :)
