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?
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?
Hello. Today I just notice some of the thin layer on my 1 year old leopard plastron flaking off. I've looked in other threads but haven't found a similar case like this. Is this the start of the shell rot forming? He stay outdoor for 6hour and stay in humid enclosure indoor with humid coco coir...
This is really good guide for me that never kept any testudo before. I have some question, is that ok if the night temp a bit high? Because I live in tropical area which is the night temperature on summer rarely go bellow 80F. And second question, in my experience with sulcata or leopard, the...
I don't know if this available in your country, but I used Xiaomi Mijia bluetooth thermometer and hygrometer. Its accurate and can record temperature and humidity for 24h.
Sorry for your loss. Still don't expect hatchling that size already have it. Does anyone know how long that yellow bump will start showing symptom usually?

I already used the lowest bulb I can find which is 25w, can't find lower wattage incandescent flood bulb here. Can normal incandescent bulb set on dimmer? Yup the there's thermostat wired for the CHE socket.
