    What's the difference @ZEROPILOT and as I previously asked. 1 - I live in the West Indies (Trinidad) where it is naturally hot day and night, in light of this do I still need to have the UVB lighting?

    Down here there are no penalties @KarenSoCal , they are commonly kept as pets for those who are so inclined. Few people ever take up that challenge though I guess because of the amount of work and the huge responsibility also, the more common type of pets are dogs, cats, birds and fishes.

    I have no idea @T Smart if they are or not, actually I only labeled it as such because earlier on I posted a pic and was told that's what it is.This is my first close encounter with a tortoise except for when I see them at the zoo. I have never really researched it as I have never had it in...

    Soaking for more than 3 hours.

    Thank you @ZEROPILOT Glad to know that. He has finally started pooping in his soaking water, what a relief. Even that was a concern for me because from other research it seem like something natural and supposed to happen but it never happened until yesterday.

    @ColaCarbonaria .. I am not sure what those are, I will do my research and as long as I can locate them I will. I checked out the link and I have noticed most people post pics before feeding to be sure it is safe, so I am going to try that myself because I am not very educated on different type...

    Soaking for more than 3 hours.

    Thank you @domalle, so I guess just leave him to soak as long as he wants to, yes? Latest update: He is now enjoying watermelon and cucumbers, I tried him with pears and apples he is refusing.

    Soaking for more than 3 hours.

    Thank you @ColaCarbonaria I will try it. I offered him the cucumber which he loves and he is eating that, I was hoping to get him to eat other food varieties besides just cucumber. But for the moment he is eating the cucumber. My next challenge is to get him to take the calcium. Question: if...

    Soaking for more than 3 hours.

    I wish I was @Tom then I could have given him to one of you guys because I think I am failing to give him the care he needs though I am trying very hard.
