    Are theses Safe Succulents? Please Help

    I just tried to remove all the dirt from the roots because they used soil with the little white fertilizer in it just to be safe.

    Can A Russian Tortoise Bask TOO Much??!

    She hasn't been eating much lately and sleeping a lot, I just assumed that was her way of hibernating, but then she wouldnt be sitting under the basking lamp all day and night. She is showing no other signs of illness in that way. I give her "Bath time" every two days.

    Wood protection advice

    Home depot sells a sealant that is for aquariums that is Non Toxic, I am trying to seal the insides off unfinished oak and plexiglas, haven't got to that step yet so not sure how it works but It's an option to seal the cracks and crevices. Hope that helps!

    Is this a good enclosure?

    GREAT enclosure! Agree with everyone else's earlier replies. What did you use for the sides? Is that glass or plexiglass? How did you seal the sides? Or was the structure already built just an up cycle? I ask because I am building my Tort Tortilla a townhouse right now and can't figure out...
