Wow crazy!!I know someone with a 59 year old RES.
Currently it only has half a lid, thats all the people who gave me her had. For now I have a drawer on top lol but this weekend I should be adding plexi glass or something. Tinfoil for now seems like a good idea Im deff going to do that lol and yeah I will paint the wood thank you!Does the 55 tank have a lid? That will help a lot to keep the humidity up. I used aluminum foil when I first got my tortoise. Cheap and works. If you do build a wooden home be sure to paint it so the wood doesn't mold. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
Hi Im sorry im not really sure? I've only owned my box turtle for almost a week nowHello , I have to female eastern box turtles . I live in Pa and my
question is, what is the most effective way to safely hibernate them ,
I currently have them in a outdoor enclosure Thank you
Thanks!So cool...
Do you know if its okay to put sand ontop of the dirt stuff? Shes getting a lot of nats even though I clean out all the food daily and I know sand on dirt keeps the nats awayYep that's an Asian box turtle. Cuora flavomarginata. These guys need quite a bit more moisture and damp substrate than the chunks you got him on. I'd also start feeding on a stone so it's beak can get filed down. Adjusting the diet too with help with that, as it seemed to be not a normal growth of overgrown beak(if that makes sense). Lots of plants for them to hide under and much moist and damp enclosure. I would add a couple bricks of peat moss or coco coir to that substrate and mist him/fog him a few times a day.
What are you feeding him now?
Bake the substrate I've never personally done it, but there are lots of ways on the internet...Do you know if its okay to put sand ontop of the dirt stuff? Shes getting a lot of nats even though I clean out all the food daily and I know sand on dirt keeps the nats away
Okay thanks. Ive only had the substrate like a week, how often should I be changing it?I wouldn't use sandy they can ingest it and cause issues. Gnats are a pest but won't hurt anything. Maybe change the substrate out.
Hmm interesting, i'll have to try it! ThanksBake the substrate I've never personally done it, but there are lots of ways on the internet...
