    sick tortoise

    I have a ceramic heat bulb. The other temps on the other side are in the 80s. If i keep soaking her and keeping her warm and humid when do you think she would start feeling better.

    sick tortoise

    She just randomly stopped eating and moving around so i made a close chamber enclosure with heat, stays around 95 during the day and night and i spray down the enclosure to keep it humid. Ive been doing this throughout the last 3 days and i have see very little improvement. What can i do better...
