I need a couple large half-logs and cant find them anywhere. None of the pet stores here have them. They have small ones, suitable for, say a lizard but I need something that is large enough for an adult box turtle to hide under. I've checked online also. Anyone?

I'm not sure how big you would need, but there are some on ebay. Have you looked there?

I've never used ebay...yea, I know, where've I been....don't you have to pay for an account?

no,setting up an acount is free, and buying stuff is free ( well except the cost of the item ur buying) they only charge you when you sell things

oh ok. I'll check it out then. thanks

Not sure if this is what you are looking for... there are some half-logs here: http://www.undergroundreptiles.com/hideboxes.htm

They're not real, but here is the description:
The Turtle Hut is the best choice in natural-looking hides. This hide looks like wood, but is made of resin instead, making it safe for full or partial submersion. Perfect for turtles, tortoise, or other reptiles.
Small - 3.25" x 3.5" x 1.75"
Medium - 4.75" x 4.75" x 2"
Large - 6.75" x 5.5" x 2.75"
XLarge - 8.75" x 7.5" x 4.25"
Giant - 10.75" x 10.5" x 5.5"

Yep that's the one. And I see they ship to Canada! Yay. Thanks!

There seem to be a few places cheaper than that link above. Were you looking the "Giant" size?

$10.29 http://www.thatpetplace.com/MainPro/Ite ... +0495+0344 (might not be in stock)

$10.95 http://www.petmountain.com/show_product/508005 (does mention shipping to Canada, but doesn't list cost)

I'd probably go large now and giant later...thanks, i'll check those out when i get a break here at work

I seriously wouldn't bother. I have tried adding shelters and whatnot to box turtle pens, but they really prefer to just bury themselves in substrate.

If you must make a shelter, buy a cheap, large, terra cotta pot and half-bury it in the substrate. The prices on those half-logs are outrageous. A terra cotta pot is easier to clean, too- a log can absorb waste and harbor disease, whereas you can bake a pot. Don't waste your money!

Actually, right now in both my boxie tubs they each have a hide log (corkbark) and a plant pot. They both prefer the logs rather than burying in the substrate.
