Hi everyone!
I noticed a few days ago it looks like my 7 year old Greek tortoise has a sunburn on her head. I recently bought her a tortoise table and am wondering if the heat lamp irritated her skin because it’s closer to her than her previous enclosure. I put my hand under it and to me, it didn’t feel too hot. I’ve read that tortoises can’t really get sunburned but I’m not sure what else it could be. Other than that, she seems like her usual self!
Thank you!
