Forest Hingebacks are pretty easy, they need a good size enclosure, keep them over 70 degrees but not too warm,somewhat moist with occasional spraying, leave them alone, and the tough part is to get them Dewormed fully. I have 2 and they took 2 treatments of Metranidazol, and 2 of Panacure for 1, and the other took 3 or 4 of Panacure because they both had all of the possible parasites, but the Pinworms were extremely difficult to get rid of.

Not too different from most box turtles other than the fact that they don't seem to like being bothered even by our presence, never mind handling!

: How drastic is the difference between a forrest hingeback's set-up than a red foot's?? I need to know quickly before my grandmother goes out and gets the hingeback....
