I'm gonna leave her be but I was just...
I still haven't named her yet but I got her stuff in the mail today and got her little home set up
Also including what her uvb lamp looks like it is a 5 and the other on in the second pic is her basking bulb
At night I only have a black light heat lamp one

Worms
Box turtle food
Lettuce
Pill bugs

My name is Catherine, I'm from North Carolina and I have found an eastern box turtle hatchling about a week and a half ago and she is my little turtle child, I love her so much but I believe I may have some questions so I have signed up on here!(:
