2 new terrapins
Posted on July 27th, 2013 by yowch
We bought 2 more terrapins from the neighbourhood shop at Hoy Fatt Road. Now we have 3.
The dark deep dirty green is the one from the first batch.
We also got the UV-B bulb, and we manually load the UV-A and UV-B bulbs into the lamp to alternate the different exposures.
Next we are looking at a larger tank for them.
UV-A and UV-B are not healthy if prolonged exposure. A safer alternative which I am not sure if available or not is UV-C
Reptiles generally need both UV-A and UV-B. UV-A for growth, feeding and breeding, and UV-B for Vitamin D and shell synthesis.
