Oreo has some sort of
a mite living with him. I was finally able to get a picture of this
pest. It normally hides just inside Oreo's shell.
I first noticed this bug about 3 weeks ago so it may have come in with
the new moss I put into his terrarium at that time
"Oreo"
likes to crawl across the moss but does not seem to sleep here. He rests
mainly on his rocks. I have not observed him at his water dish, so I wonder
if he/she gets all the moisture needed from the food and moss?
I gave
"Oreo" a cuttlebone and he rasps at it quite frequently.
"Oreo"
often walks across the glass covering his home. I wonder why?
