hmmmm. so, my boyfriend has an eastern box turtle hatchling, probably about an inch. He knows humidity is very important.
His tank is bothering me. It is a mixture of organic peatmoss and sand. To keep it super moist (because it tends to dry out quickly for some reason) he has turned the tank into something like a "swamp." there are many puddles which the turtle can use for soaking. there is a dry bark with damp sargasum moss on top to hide in.
The turtle is the weirdest thing i've ever know... he prefers to sit in his puddle! he will sit there all day, just.... sitting under water.
i'm wondering if this could cause any health problems.
