I love the picture of her head coming out from behind the leaf! She’s so beautiful!

Yes! I gave her a treat when we settled in to help her feel comfortable and then she kept a close eye on me… and the cursor… and eventually a second treat. It was a happy morning:)

Hello!! I haven’t measured recently but just when we set up - I read the box and made sure it was safe distance and in the basking temp range. Our turtle is very happy and healthy (good shell) and has been growing a lot so I hope that means the lighting is good. We change out approximately...

This is our 3+ year old red eared slider, Alypius! We use a mercury vapour bulb. It has been working well for her:)

Thank you for sharing! I love seeing how you set up their indoor enclosures for free range - a nice life for them… and outdoors too! So lovely and inspiring:)

super relaxed sleeping tail tonight :)

Yes! That is why we all keep - because there is such beauty. It’s nice to share this beauty with others who appreciate this particular kind of beauty as much as we do☺️

Hello! We use a deep flower pot about a foot in diameter at the top and about a foot tall with a 50/50 mix of organic potting soil and washed play sand. Our cham had laid 3 clutches of eggs in it over the past 3 years:)

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you and others enjoyed these pics of Cam. We too love her sweet face. She is precious:) I enjoy all the photos you post as well on the forums. I have to say the pictures are my favourite part of the forums, and of course knowing people receive Cham-saving advice that...
