hello, we are planning to build an enclosure and i’m wondering about dimensions. we are looking at doing something 48”L x 16”D x 27”H my concern is about the 16” depth. the overall volume will be plenty but is 16” going to be too narrow? our little dude is only 3mo old so who knows what length they’ll end up. thanks in advance for any insights!

I would make the depth longer if possible. 16'' will be too narrow for an adult to be comfortable. They often grow to 20+'' long from nose to tail, and while they are able to turn and squeeze through smaller spaces, it's best to provide them with as much room as possible. If you're building your own setup, I'd make it as large as you have the space to allow for if you can.

SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

This is Atlas, he's my 3 year male leatherback. i don't know whether to be worried as he has no femoral pores what so ever, not even small ones! i always thought they would come with age but he is getting a bit older now and i'm starting to worry. here are some photos of his lack of pores. if someone could let me know if this is healthy that would be greatly appreciated!!
I don't own Swordtail anymore. He owns me
Swordtail is being the chonky turd he is
