Update on Tortuga

He is doing much better today, the shell looks more smooth and less raised, looks like the spots are coming in. :D I'll take a photo soon.

He spends most of the time outside. We live in a hot less humid place. His inside house is at 80 all around with humidity varying from 50 to 80 depending on when the air conditioner is running. Changed up the lights from the spiral to the tube and changed the food from khale, mustards greens...
