    Eye problem?

    Okay Thanks I will try keeping a steady temp in the mid 80s through the night and if things don't change I will go the veterinary and drops route. It's weird I have scoured the internet and have not seen another photo of a tortoise with the same problem. Thanks for all your help everyone. I will...

    Eye problem?

    Has anyone seen these eye symptoms before? Here is a photo of his underside and where he sits in his hide unless he is fully inside. He doesn't really like to hang out in the cooler side with the cork wood hide and leaves ever except to eat because that is where I place his food.

    Eye problem?

    It definitely just calcium but I will double check once he is out of his hide again. I make sure to soak and clean him everyday and I do keep a close eye on the condition of his shell and underside. I'll send a picture when I can

    Eye problem?

    It's a 75 what heating bulb. I found the one 100watt heating ceramic bulb was not keep the enclosure warm enough so that is the reason for the extra 75 watt light. Maybe I should get rid of the 75 watt heat light and get a stronger ceramic heater?

    Eye problem?

    My 8 month old redfoot has some growth or something coming out of each eye at the tear ducks. I thought it might be goop but it seems attached. I only tried wiping it slightly one time and have not tried again since it could be part of the tortoise? The tortoise seems to be eating, behaving the...
