She does get calcium sprinkled on her food about once a week which she has no problem eating. I’ll read these two threads, thank you so much. I wouldn’t have thought diet.

She eats grocery store stuff now that it’s too cold to forage.. red and green leaf lettuce, mustard greens, and dandelion greens. Obsessive over the lettuce. When it’s warm and I can forage she eats dandelions and their leaves, clovers, and was eating pansies maybe once a week so I wasn’t...

Thank you all for your input and also thank you for being so kind (I was nervous to post.) I’ll get back to more soaks for sure and stay more on top of keeping the substrate damp. Thanks so much

I just asked my husband about the bulbs.. he’s at work so was a quick answer… incandescent basking bulb, ceramic heat emitters, UVB is Acadia Humidity can be up to 90% when I wet the coco coir and can drop to 30% when it dries out Yes water dish To be honest, and I’m sure I need a good slap...

Thank you Yvonne. I still can’t help but think it’s something on my end since it wasn’t like that initially. And yes, she/he gets around totally fine. Eats, basks, walks, all the normal things

she has not always been like this, it was kind of hard to notice since I see her every day but now I am like oh holy crap

Ughhhh pyramiding, so she’s being kept too dry?

She’s from a breeder, I had said in initial post she’s a little over a year.

Hi- my tortoise is a little over 1 and I’ve noticed her (?) shell on the bottom looks very thick. Attaching photos. Does anyone know what the cause might be? My initial thought is over feeding? She’s in a 2.5x6 ft table with a greenhouse covering it for warmth and to try to keep up humidity...

I use a greenhouse right now (hatchling) but they are super spacious! Could build a table under that is the same size of it. Affordable and holds a lot of humidity.
