    Tortoise not coming out to eat

    I do not feel confident brumating her and do not have the proper resources to handle that to be honest. I just bought a new humidity gauge i’ll include a pic. I had a temp gun but am between ones because they are pretty expensive and we aren’t doing fantastic right now. I also get nervous...

    Tortoise not coming out to eat

    Hi! I have the light now and am soaking her daily for 30mins or at least until she poops if it is before i need to leave for work. Despite this she still will maybe eat when i put her back and then immediately goes to hide. Should i be digging her out multiple times per day or is she okay since...

    Peeling on scutes? Normal?

    I’ve had her for 6 years but she was sadly from a chain pet store because we didn’t know. I’m not talking about the light looking section i’m talking abt the one to the left of it.

    Peeling on scutes? Normal?

    Hi! Just wanted to double check if this is normal peeling. Smells normal as i saw someone else with the issue told to smell it and just smells like her bedding. It’s only wet because i rinsed it off since she had some coconut dirt stuff on top of it. Thanks!

    Tortoise not coming out to eat

    Tortoise not coming out to eat

    substrate is sorta thick so she can burrow but it is not damp, it’s coconut coir. I measured basking temp with a temp gun! I don’t use any LEDs but her uvb lamp is on for the daytime hours. it’s definitely arcadia or zoomed i got a good brand but im not able to check what one right now sorry...

    Tortoise not coming out to eat

    She doesn’t usually do this even in fall/winter that’s why i am confused. I’ll make her heat lamp a little higher so it’s not as hot but i think it’s a flukers bulb and basking lamp. the ubv is a tube one but i don’t remember what brand as it was only gotten last year. I’m already doing all the...
