The under-tank heater says for use with box turtles. Most literature I have read says to use a under tank heater as a heat source. I know hatch-lings require a great deal of care and I researched care extensively before setting up habitat. We are heartbroken over her death. I have never had a turtle with so much personality. She had been eating meal worms with great success. She had a large meal worm and it looked as if it was alive and going down her throat. So we grabbed the part hanging out of her mouth and broke the piece of the worm off that was hanging out of her mouth. I did not know if a large meal could have caused her untimely death. She acted fine afterward and burrowed down in the bedding as usual and was gone in morning [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
