I recently bought a Forest Hingeback online. I am assuming she is correctly labeled and that she is wild-caught. I've barely seen her, but we're getting there. She will poke her head out now.
I've had her in a 28qt tub with just a towel for the past two weeks. I've soaked her for an hour every day, but haven't tried to feed her yet. I know, bad. After she gets used to her new setup, I will be trying more attentively to feed her. I'll be offering food after her setup is complete.
It was recommended to me on another forum to make a cage out of a kiddie pool. I'm happily doing so. I'm not sure of the square footage, but it's called summer Escapes GF, if that means anything. Here is what I currently have set up:
*Cypress Mulch substrate, thin layer as I ran out. Considering some sort of soil?
*Fake plants for cover around the edge.
*Rodent igloos for hides
*Separate water bowl
*Soaking dish
*Daylight Blue Reptile Bulb
*Some sort of heat bulb. Not sure at the moment, will look
I'll get pictures as soon as I can. My camera is charging, so we have to wait. Is there anything I need to add or change based on the current information?
