My little buddy Squirtle

I like it. I’ll change it out tomorrow. I’m sure I’ve got a saucer big enough laying around somewhere. I appreciate the advice

I keep it on the cool side and shallow enough that if he were to flip over he’d be able to keep his head out no problem. I know My anxiety will regret me asking this but are there other issues I haven’t thought of yet?

For my little hermann’s (2 yo) I keep him outside almost year round. His layout is super simple. Stock tank on top of the pallet and a basic wood and chicken wire lid. Around the pallet bass I’ll use some ant killer and I’ve never had an issue. We do have a lot of stray cats and other night...

Spot on. I’ve never done this for an outdoor enclosure but it works great on my tarantula shelf. Have never had an ant issue again since I started using it

My little buddy enjoying a snack

Recently I’ve noticed my year and a half Hermann’s hasn’t been thriving the way he previously was. Slight weight loss but otherwise very normal. Slight drop in appetite but basking and going to the bathroom Normal. I’d like to move him to an outdoor enclosure to see how this effects his overall...

Ayyy my bug people. I never in my life thought I’d find bugs as interesting as I do until my wife brought one home

Don’t get me wrong in S Texas we get some awesome snakes but that Rat snake is sick.

This is Chester. I don’t know his locale though. He’s about a year and a half

Happy birthday bud. 1st birthday. 1st piece of watermelon. Went crazy over it

He’ll be fine in that size for a few months. They’re surprisingly hardy animals once they get out of the hatchling stage. As long as he’s getting the essentials (food, uv, water) he’ll manage just fine for a bit

Gettin in some yard time

Obviously he likes it. I started mine on Mazuri and greens and he seems like he isn’t feeling the Mazuri any more I think maybe he’s just gotten tired of it. Maybe I’ll try some of the Flukers

What in the world was he eating!?

Exploring the grass a little bit.

Mine did the same thing. Went almost a week I believe without pooping. I’ll admit it may have been a day or two sooner but like you said it can be tough to find. But if you’re real nervous soak him every day instead of every other. That seemed to help mine and I don’t think you can soak them too...

there are Soooo many factors involved with that too. Each individual differs and I’ve had a hard time finding any details on a “general rate of growth” that you can expect. I’m far from an expert but maybe getting the smaller Mazuri pellets and throwing in some with its regular meals. Mine...

So for my Hermann’s I got him at 2 months old and this is basically how I’ve tracked his weight. I weigh mine once a week and he stays on Mazuri, the small pellets, and then a mixture of dark greens and hibiscus flowers daily... I guess I say all that to say I started out weighing him daily and...
