    Plastron flake off

    Noted. I already put him in bare bottom enclosure. The coco coir itself isn't too dirty yet, I already replace it couple time since January but still come from same batch. Still confuse me where did this spot come from. Does he need to have betadine soak first?

    Plastron flake off

    Sorry for dirty tortoise picture before. At first I also thought like that. But after cleaning the plastron it seem the white spot doesn't come off. I have bought foot cream with Clotrimazole, should I put it on the spot?

    Enclosure humidity problems.

    That's a cute looking enclosure. By the way I think the clamp lamp fixture you're using is bit dangerous. It's safer to use lamp stand like the one I attach bellow.
