I’ll let them know and link the care sheet! I think they add fruits like strawberries and watermelon occasionally! Is that your turtle? Super cute!! I wanted a turtle so bad two-ish years ago! I even posted in this forum to get prepped! I think the crack they’re referring to is where the scutes...
She said she will try to encourage them to move away from the lamp! She puts it low enough to keep the temperature 88°! She got the heating lamp from Walmart!
It’s where the first two scutes on top aren’t smooth or grown together I should say. There’s a gap in between scutes while the rest are smooth! I’m not sure if that’s a normal part of growth or not though! 😓

My name starts with “hay” and my nickname was Hayhay for a while! I’ve always loved dogs and when I was much younger I set up my name on most things as “haydog” so it stuck! Not sure why other people have it! ?
Tortoises are what I think would be best for me. They seem like my best fit, between all the animals I debated on. Also with the species, my humidity is a little high for Russians so I was thinking if my humidity stays high I’d go for a Redfoot! :) I really wanted a Russian, though, but I...
I don’t actually have a tortoise yet, but everything is in motion to get one! We’re maybe a few days away, I hope! I just have to settle on which species now. I’m thinking Russian? I’m completely new to tortoises, never had one or really properly touched one. I went from Bearded Dragon, to...
