I have a 9 month old Sulcata and in his indoor enclosure I wanted to make it really natural. I have planted grass and some dandelions which are going great and I wanted to plant some small flowers or something like that. I have looked all over and have found some answers but Im still confused...
So I went to the vet today. Not a RI and he said he looks like a healthy tort and was raise very well. He said he has a runny nose but inside his mouth and what not looks good and healthy. Caused by low temps. Same with feeding issue and his activity being low. He told me to change a couple...
OK, Later in the morning he actually seemed to perk about just a bit which maid me real happy. I also havent seen any snot bubbles today but still seems a bit sluggish, wont eat and the weird little noises. Hopefully Vet appointment goes well and Ill update him when new info arrives. Thank you all!
A private breeder in Phoenix. All his tortoises seemed very well cared for. So is this super serious? I have a vet appointment for Thursday morning. Will a vet appointment and some antibiotics cure this or can this be very serious?
I have not seem him eat since ive got him, I got him last Thursday. I dont think the bubbles are exactly correlated with his breathing. Ive noticed it when I take him out and let him roam around. Probably see bubbles come out of his nose once or twice a minute so its not very often. And his...
OK I will try to do that in next couple days. thank you so much. This has been a great help and I did tons of research before I got the little guy and so much info about tortoises contradicts the next piece of info so I was doing things wrong. again, thank you.
Ok conditions are just like the care sheet. The closest reptile vet is hour and a half away from me so I dont want to make a trip if not needed but I want a healthy tortoise. Should I wait a couple days and see what what happens? And Im worried that hes not eating. Should I worry about that?
I dont know how to upload the pics to my computer. Its an old book shelf, I Have a zilla 18inch t8 uvb. I forget who makes the bulb for heat but its a reptile company. I have repti bark mixed with something I forget the name. Its a brick and you add water to it and it expands. I have a few hides...
Hey guys, so last night I was able to get the little guy in a closet so ambient will stay right around 85 sometimes a little higher. Last night I noticed he wasn't as active as hes been. Throughout this hole time I notices he seemed like a happy tort. Last night he seemed a little inactive and...
Thank you both! Now during day time have ambient 90ish and basking 100. Could I put him outside for a few hours a day where its right around 90 for the most part or I should keep him inside for the time being?
And he cant see through his outdoor enclosure. Should I worry about his eating? And I can raise temps easy. I got a walk in closet with a room heater so Ill put the little guy in there.
Im in central AZ. The temps are not usually but we've had a great monsoon season where Im at so for the past month or so The highs are usually low to mid 90s with 40- 60% humidity. Last few days have been a little cooler. Im also right by a river so humidity is up a little.
Hey Im new to this thread and just got a yearling Sulcata on Thursday and have a couple questions. First off, I have about 50-60% humidity. Cool side of cage is 80 during day and basking spot of about 95 maybe a little higher. At night temps are 75. Ive gotten mixed answers on if this is to low...
