I have been looking to get a T for a long while now, I had all the things I needed for a pink tow sling and was about to order; yesterday went in to pet smart for turtle food and saw that they had a little pink toe. Ive read some pretty sad stuff about how petsmart treats their arachnids and reptiles so I had to get the little dude. He’s a lot smaller than he looked behind a pane of glass and a critter tote.. I’m thinking the enclosure I have is way too big for him so I’m going to laser cut a new one today. As of now he’s still in the tote. Yesterday I did put some substrate in a clean big pill container and put him in there as his tote had a mesh-ish top and all the decor was fallen over and his water dish was mostly substrate. I drilled some holes in acrylic for a temporary top and drilled some holes into the tote for cross ventilation. While fixing his decor I was also able to check for old food or any mites and stuff and found nothing. Set the decor up so he can actually hide and climb and fixed his water situation. I put him back in and he seemed fine, this morning i checked on him and I cant tell if his abdomen is much smaller than it should be. I read this is a sign of illness or mistreatment and am wondering if I did something wrong in this whole process. The worker at petsmart said he was fed that same day so Im not sure whats wrong or if there even is anything wrong. Little dude is stressing me out.
