    Shell peals?

    They are smooth with the shell around them it seems to me that the white spots are under top few layers of the bottom of his shell if that makes sense. I got betadine yesterday and started applying anti fungal cream with clotrimazole.

    Shell peals?

    I can see how I have been keeping the substrate too wet for him, I was just worried that I wouldn't get the humidity high enough. As for the betadine I was told to not use it too much because it has something to do with the growth of white blood cells? Anything about the white spots on his shell?

    Shell peals?

    So the yellow circle is the top part of the shell that came off, the red parts are the white spots on the shell that to my under standing are from too much calcium? Does that make sense to anyone? Also provided is a link to my previous thread just to show you how the shell condition has...

    Shell peals?

    Newest enclosure!

    you could also use plexiglass but it does get pretty pricy depending on what size you need.

    RF Is this normal?

    Its more like the the first one. The reason why I'm asking is because he has white spots on his shell I thought it might be fungal or some other issue. Thank you for your advice!!!

    Update on little Abe; still a little concerned

    Hey guys, about a week and a half ago I got a little Cherry Head Red Foot Tortoise. Best purchase ever =). I'm happy to say that he's starting to get more active: eating more and basking. I have been taking the little dude outside whenever the weather was warm enough. I still have a couple of...

    Baby Redfoot question

    Hey guys, I had my little guy for about 5 days now. I think he might have shell rot but he seems to be very inactive. He hides in the cool end of the tort table and doesnt come out much unless i take him out in the morning so he could eat. He does have an appetite but I'm worried that he might...

    Thanks for the advice. Do you think I could use anti-bacterial soap and lamasil? Or does that sound dumb?
