I attached some photos as well to help but the temperature in the enclosure never dropped below 80 mostly stayed around 85. The ramp she enjoyed to climb and usually didn’t have standing water, it did in the pics purely from the last misting. She had a UVB bulb and a ceramic heat bulb for...
Unfortunately, after going to the pet store for any sort of temporary aid and scheduling with a vet for a visit today she passed. Any information you would like to pass along would be great. I had her for 5 years and though I was doing well but any help on how this could have been prevented...
I see =/, I regularly mist the enclosure as well as give her weekly short soaks. She always has a clean water dish that I rotate as well as fresh organic kale that is occasionally sprinkled with calcium booster. Her enclosure is a tall wooden box with glass windows in order to keep in the...
It’s odd because I often go through and clean her shell weekly of dust and dirt with a fine brush and never noticed any discoloration or “bruising” prior to this

No I haven’t noticed this before. I thought the same thing when I saw it and thought it was really odd. If she fell it couldn’t have been more than a couple inches though which I wouldn’t think would cause that sort of bruising
The first picture is her enclosure. The second picture is her soaking area, usually the water is in the lower left and the right high side is so she can move out if necessary. The third is her underbelly which has NEVER looked like this before. The blood seems to be coming from between 3rd and...
My tortoise seemed to have gotten into her soaking bin (i was dumb and left it somewhere she could.) Thankfully she wasnt submerged all night but in little standing water. She seems to be bleeding on her underneath, but there are no visible wounds. She is eating and moving around still but not...
