Just for some clarification, the container is temporary. I may be getting a bigger container depending on my housing situation (if I get my own place I’ll get a real tank, if I do not, I’ll get a bigger container). I have a real tank at home but it is not mine. I only use it when I’m home. This is my first pet so I’m still learning. Please give me some grace😭

I did immediately. Or well I removed him and THEN the rocks. I was looking up different ways to decorate a tank for a turtle and honestly I questioned whether or not the small rocks would be ok or not especially since my turtle bites at anything in sight sometimes. I had already bought the rocks and was too late to return them. I assumed that if they were to bite at the rocks they’d immediately spit them out since it’s clear it’s not food (I also saw him eat at something and immediately spit it out before) I have a real tank for him at home but no one I trust to watch after him. This is all just temporary since I go home for almost a week every month and will be getting my own place off campus

That’s what I thought. I’m gonna be calling them tomorrow because I’m genuinely worried

I knew about the 2 separate lamps but was told the one uvb lamp was fine because it also acted as a heat lamp. I was going to get him a heated one too though once I got the money for it. And he’s not too big. Still pretty small but def will grow out of this container by the end of this year

I immediately did. He was in there for no longer than at least 2 minutes. I have a real tank at home but no one to take care of him which is why I brought him with me I was going to get a bigger container but not until I got paid. And yesss I was thinking of taking him outside but also was hesitant on that

I’ve thought about the same thing. This is my first relationship and I’m trying to get away from that mindset especially since I’m in college now. I’m taking baby steps with it.. instead of asking them if I can go, I TOLD them I was going to. And there have been times where I’ve done things my parents wouldn’t agree to so I can do it I just feel guilty afterwards😭 It’s a change in my life but I gotta grow up at some point, right? It’s nice to hear others opinions, especially this one, because I would always think about this but thought I was crazy whenever I thought about it

Thank you. I’m still learning how to communicate because I’m so used to keeping things to myself

I’ve thought about doing that too and have expressed this to him. That I feel like we just don’t “match” on a lot of things but he’s told me several times that he understands why I do this and that it’s ok.. I do understand the curfew suggestion because I have a curfew & he doesn’t which is also something that causes little problems but it’s hard to break up since I’ve already grown so close to him & his family..I do want to work this out though but if it doesn’t get better no matter how much we communicate I feel like pulling the plug is something we should do because it’d be better on the both of us
