Dear all LYN Sifu,
I recently bought a Star (named Squirtle). It is my first pet tortoise and it is a hatchling~Bought it before I realised it's quite sensitive especially at this size. Any advice on my enclosure setup? I planted weed and added a cement basking platform. I soaked it every 2 days for couple of minutes. Cheers.

Dear LYN Sifu,I got a question actually...For the lighting of the enclosure,which type of bulb is most cost-result-efficient?I'm thinking of modifying the headlamp of the car to put it as the light source~does that bulb emit uvb?Please advice,thank you.

QUOTE(finalr3ality @ Nov 10 2016, 10:02 AM) cute! is he sleeping? Or his eyes are like that most of the time? If it's like that most of the time , then you should be more cautious Hi,thanks for commenting~the photo was taken at night time so I presumed she's sleeping. When got light source it is more active~few days back the left eye a bit slow to open up...but after I applied some oilment it seems OK already=)How about the shell?Any problem?
