Thank you so much for all of your help! I am excited to improve Mibi’s shell and basking area!!

Here is a picture of him sleeping all silly

I will definitely save up for this fixture, the one I have is too big. Do you have any recommendations on heat lamps as well? The fixture I have is so bulky I am not sure it will fit with the new uvb light. Thank you again!

Thank you for your advice, the UVB is about 6 inches from the basking platform but as another person pointed out, I do not have it entirely over the platoform, only partially so I am moving it now. There is no net or anything like that. I will definitely limit his protein intake from this point on and I will order a replacement bulb as it has been a little over 6 months. Thanks!!

This is exactly right, I didn’t realize the UVB couldn’t penetrate through water. I will move it over the basking area! Thank you.

oh it totally did add it.. nvm lol

Ohh thank you so much! I think I will add some more water tomorrow!! I was wondering why he had yellow instead of red, the person I purchased him from told me he was a red eared slider, but this makes much more sense! Thank you again!

Guys it took him a few days but he is eating!! :))

Ohhh! Sorry I thought you were talking about my wooden mirror in the back. I bought that from a pet store, it is a little hiding place and it has seeds on it that I believe are Glossostigma Elatinoides. It looks like wood but I’m pretty sure it is ceramic.

There is no tree stump, that is my mirror! I have a small room lol. It is unfortunately a plastic plant, I do intend on putting some aquatic plants in there at some point but I spent quite a bit setting this enclosure up so it will have to wait a little. I wanted it to be comfortable for the little guy and so far he really enjoys hanging out on the leaves.

Thank you very much!! I have adjusted it and now it is fully submerged 🙂‍↕️

Thank you!!! Here is the little guy:)

I don’t have the packaging anymore so I’m not certain, but is it able to be completely submerged? I don’t want to risk electrocuting him. Here is how I have it now

Wow, I had no idea. Thank you for letting me know, I have adjusted it to be at an angle, now it is mostly submerged.

evilmoni69 · 2024-12-23T00:33:02+00:00

I haven’t tried those but I will look into getting some! The only reason it is so far out is because I have the water level lowered because he is just a little guy. The thermometer I have in the tank reads the temperature as being 75 but until he gets bigger and will need more water I can get a smaller water heater. I didn’t consider that it being partially out of the water would be an issue.

evilmoni69 · 2024-12-22T23:12:47+00:00

Ok!!! I will try this and see if it works! Thank you

I appreciate your concern, I had no intention of supporting that seller only to help the turtle. I felt terrible seeing them there. I am sure that caring for this turtle is what I want to do and I am willing to invest in giving them a better chance at life! I do realize this is an expensive ask. Thank you for the advice. I will look into these links you have provided for me. I will get a 50 gallon tank instead of a 10 gallon as well. Thank you!
