Why don't you start a new thread and change the title because Coco is NOT help sick. How about photos of the tort???

Are you thinking that they shed in one big piece? They don't. You do not have to worry about it too much, it will come off in flakes now and then.

Thank you! I will keep that in mind!
Just stick to this forum for your information becase there is a lot of old, outdated and unsafe information still about on the internet, whereas there are keepers here who have are willing to share their experiences with us just for the love of torts and to make sure their care is the best it can be to keep them happy and heathy.
Have a look at the Enclosures thread for ideas for a new home for Coco.

Don't go for anything too big for his hide because it will take up valuable space in his enclosure, also the clear/transparent ones will let light through and maybe disturb his sleep so look for something that will be nice and dark for him.

So it doesn’t need to be black huh? Interesting! I’m over here stressing about what to do with his hide! Knowing it doesn’t necessarily need to be black for it work really changes things! Lol
now I’m stuck with something I can’t return at dollar tree..just perfect ?

Out of curiosity..what is safe to use at night for him to keep warm?
I have considered getting a UVB eventually especially for summer! Just for days I can’t take him outside for any reason!
I considered getting a heat mat from Petsmart! Is this a good idea?

It's amazing how hard it is to cut into plastic, cheap or otherwise. Is Coco eating ok?

Yes he is! He’s leaving a little food each day!!
At first I was giving him a lot more than usual...but now I alternate with his food! I’m yet to get him other things at sprouts for him! For now he’ll have what I got him and then next month I’ll buy him new things to try! Hopefully I’ll be able to put seeds and other stuff in the budget for him! I’m actually even planning on getting him his own little garden at home too!! “Working progress” don’t wanna do to much all at once!

He’s ok now...I was answering posts that I forgot to respond too or I didn’t realize I had responses lol!!
You can get a coping saw very cheap that would work to make a door. Alternatively some tin snips or an otherwise very strong scissors. A dremel tool would work as would a razor knife. Just remember when using force with any blade to keep the edge pointed away from any fleshy material.
I have found that a terra cotta plant pot, broken in half works so good and small turtles love it. Here is where Grumpyface sleeps, he always sleeps in that pot, and all I did was pick up a broken pot, and put it in his tank. He goes in on his own. And because of the material used, it seems to hold humidity much better than plastic.
Grumpy's hide
broken so it 'fits' better
Grumpyface is 3 months old now and 28 grams
