I saw an article on the news about Sulcata tortoises having been released into an area of the Sahara and the effect that it caused.
I can't post the article here but I hope someone else can.
I would love to have opinions and comments on it, especially from @Tom and @zovick .
Of course I agree with you that it should be legal and that it would be better than what you usually see. But even in little Jamaica where I live, it's totally illegal for ordinary citizens or residents to put up signs of any kind on a public road or public land.
The Government, of course, can...
I am sorry to say that without pictures of the turtles and details of the type of lights you are using, I can't even try to help you.
We would really like to help!
Hi and welcome.
Pictures of the enclosures would be very helpful.
Maybe a wood frame and a zinc sheet covering would prevent excess mud and flooding when it rains a lot.
With any sign of sickness or other apparent deviation from the normal behavior, the first thing to do is to separate the animal from any others that are living in the same enclosure.
Then answer some questions that would help us to help you, like what are or were the conditions of care, diet...
