This is Keto.. He has been 5 days with me. I'm trying to do all the right things for him! But I want to know if he looks healthy to you guys as I haven't had a tortoise in 27 years lol. Thanks to this forum I have learned that things I thought were true aren't true.. in this 5 days I have learned a lot like the piramiding I have seen it but always thought it was normal, I was told once that it meant the tortoise with pyramiding was of better quality and older.

Yep he is a red foot! I have been soaking him once per day.
52% humidity level but I do soak him everyday with warm water... humidify the soil 3 to 4 times a week!
This was him when I got him on Friday!
Your humidity needs to be higher in the enclosure. Maybe around 80%. And if you get rid of the dirt and use some sort of bark or mulch, he won't look so dry. Dirt pulls the moisture out of the shell.
He's a handsome Tortoise! [emoji2]
He's lucky to have found you: it sounds like you are working very hard to do the right things for him!!! Good job!!![emoji2][emoji173]️
So humidity is improving yay! It's at 75 now... I keep his soil humid with some water also added a clay pot which helps to keep humidity too... And I noticed the clay helps him to keep the morning warm like 2 hours more.. as a result of this he is more active!
