I'm not sure unfortunately, I no longer have the prescribed box. Thank you for the suggestion though. Is this something that once they've had it once they're prone to it again, or is it simply controlling the environment better?
Thanks for the response. So his shell sits around 5-6 inches currently, and the enclosure is 7ft x 3 ft currently and I built quite deep for the substrate in there.
I was advised that they needed a specific area with stronger heat to mimic that the rain-forest floor? He seems to warm himself...
Hello all,
I’ve noticed over the last day or so that my tortoise has been breathing differently. It’s quite sharp leg/head pumping, with him pulling his head in quickly like something’s uncomfortable, then pushing it back out again (Sometimes closing his eyes too as if he's in some form of...
Just wanted to come back on this and say thanks for the advice everyone! It pretty much disappeared in about 3 days to my surprise and seems to be as good as new after a couple weeks of monitoring. Athletes Foot to the rescue. Thank you!

Just with a Hygrometer in both warm and cooler location. Unfortunately we are UK so humidity is not so naturally high. We manage to get it around 70% by keeping it misted and the substrate moist. I think we'll look to try cover as it being open top will just prove a challenge. Is there anything...
Hello All!
I'm a newbie red footed tortoise owner and just wanting to keep happy and healthy! Terry is about 3 years old, still in his small phase. We have a fairly large table for him, my only issue with this, is it's open topped, and I'm aware they need high humidity as much as possible. We...
