Hello again,
My leopard tortoise Torterra (still to young to tell if it's a boy or girl but in referring to her as a her) is having some issues. I am still a new to tortoises in general and I have read all of the care sheets on this site. Torterra is making a clicking noise when breathing. I'm scared it might be a RI so I booked her a vet appointment with her family vet just in case. Her eyes are not puffy, no runny nose and she eats a little less then normal but still a healthy amount. She is sleeping a lot but she's a baby so I guess that's normal. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. She is soaked once a day and dried she has a heat lamp & a UVB bulb lamp and a infrared lamp for at night I keep her enclosure at around mid 80s F with a basking spot of 95-105 F she has reptisoil/cypress bark substrate as well. He did have that red area a couple days ago but it is clearing up nicely, but I will confirm with the vet what that is too while I am there.
