Hey there! My name is David and we are the proud new owner of a little marginated!! We named him/her Totoro unless you ask my 4yo daughter who named him ninja turtle?After doing some research the last few months and looking, we were finally able to purchase the little guy from a person at the reptile show in Tinley Park who informed us they were hatched in late June. We live in the Chicagoland area so outside time isn’t the best bet now but just wanted to post a pic of our enclosure and maybe get some tips or tricks on what can be changed to make it better for the tort. He’s been pretty active and eating a lot, we do daily soaks and as of now, when we’re not home( because of work) we only run the uvb bulb. He’s flipped over a few times so I’m very vigilant about him not doing it underneath the mvb. Never thought for something that could outlive us I’d be so paranoid but all the posts I’ve been reading have really been helping me realize I'm not the only one who worries so much about the little dude. Thank you all for being so helpful and free with all the info to keep him/her happy and healthy.
