I do. I’ve weighed her everyday. Measure her weekly. Thanks

Ok thank you!

Hello. These are pictures of her bottom shell. It is not flat. Has an angle going up towards head. She weighed 174g. This morning. I planted a mulberry tree in her outdoor enclosure and grapes above it. I don’t understand why her bottom is growing and not the top. She can’t put her head down...

Bronzlee soaks for 30 min a day sometimes longer. When I first got her she was really sick and I talked to you. The breeder said he dry hatches. The uv light is on 12.5 hours a day. The uvb reader reads 2.5-4. The enclosure is 6x4x2 in feet. Her bottom isn’t flat. Shell is hard. Her weight this...

Thank you!!

Ok I have both kinds. I was thinking the same thing except she’s grown width wise and taller.

Thanks for your advice. I have had her since she was 46grams. We live in Washington state so not a lot of vets up here know much about these tortoises but mine is working with 2 others, one in Louisiana and Florida. They both have stated that this tortoise should not have lived due to being...

Ok thanks. My husband said it’s an incandescent. But we will raise it. Will that help with her scutes. Growing length wise instead of width

Te Temperature during the day range from 85-90, that is half of the enclosure and around the edge. Basking is 102. She mostly lays around that area being 98. She has a hide in both sides of the enclosure but only sleeps in the one on the hot side. During the night the whole enclosure is 85. Her...

Does anyone know why scutes are not growing? Bronzlee is 18 months, 159.6 grams. She has had many health issues since we got her. But now she is not growing correctly . An X-ray was done and shows her insides are getting squeezed. Heat, uvb, humidity is all correct. She eats grass and hay...

Find someone local, just make sure they have knowledge of how to take care of him. You don’t want to ship a sick tortoise to stressful. It is hard! Raises kids are much easier! Best of luck finding a good home!

She was on antibiotics, RI.

Hello everyone, first of all I would like to thank everyone for helping me with little Bronzlee (B)! The first 6 months of having her has been so stressful, fingers crossed that it’s up hill from here. I have a couple questions! So she hatched on march 27, so 9 months she only weighs 52 grams. B...

Yeah they gave her a vitamin a shot from the beginning. It’s a vet for amphibious and birds. There’s no X-ray or anything that can say what’s wrong to help?

Hello, so Bronzlee is still alive!! Never knew what the third eye was until this morning. I read that soaking her every 3 hours will bring down the swelling under her shell, which it has. I soaked her in 1/2 water and pumpkin with some dandelion leaves mashed in it. After each soak she has...
