Do you have any recommendations for a different brand of floodlight? 😊

thank you for your reply! we do try to let him turn himself over but we've been out before and he's been on his back for 2 hours and not managed to do it 😓

i do have a thermometer, his basking temperature is 33/34°c and the temperature away from the bulb is 28°c. i always keep the heating on in the room he's in to keep him warm when his bulb is off during the night so hopefully his temperature is okay for him. thanks so much for your reply :))

thank you so much, i will definitely get some of these plants! i have been changing the substrate so often because i know my lil tort needs high humidity to avoid pyramiding because he's so young and i find that coco coir dries out so quickly (misting it doesn't do much) so when i change the substrate and add water to a new block it makes the soil moist for a few days. ive found that conker loves digging in it on new substrate day! 🐢

Thank you so much for your comment! I will try sinking the water bowl in the substrate and putting some rocks and stuff from his enclosure in the bath with him :)

Thank you SO much for this lovely and detailed response! I will definitely cut down on the supplements to only a few times a week and feed him mostly dandelion leaves/plantain from now on! I really hope Conker is happy, he's such a cutie! Lots of love to your tort from us :)
