blowing bubbles out of the nose can be a sign of problems in the respiratory area so i would advise finding a good tortoise vet in your area and getting him checked. I cannot advise any vets as i am from the UK; but hopefully someone from the USA will help you

I used the Betadine twice and am now using the Chlorhexidine when i soak her. Speckles was ready for some new substrate anyway, her old substrate was full of snow fleas so i am going to get her some fresh. Speckles ate later on that day after i had posted on here and is eating like she normally...

Here is a photo of the affected area today. It is starting to look like normal shell again underneath and is lots better than what it was on Monday. It still has a slight chalky look to it around the edges but i am positive that it will be cleared up soon. (Sorry about the poor quality photo it...

Thanks cdmay. i didnt get a picture of her shell, but my mum had seen pictures of shell rot on this forum so we are pretty sure that is what it is. We have caught it early as it is only a very small area that is affected. We started treatment yesterday with Betadine and tomorrow we are going to...

Hi Jason; When i bought my RF about 3 months ago, she did not eat properly for a few days and i did not see her poop for at least a week. It is completely normal for them, they get stressed out very easily. I am sure he will settle down soon enough. enjoy ur new RF, they are a pleasure.

:D that is so true! love it :)

My redfoot has climbed a few times, but generally she is really laid back. My Mum's Hermann is always climbing on top of his hide and throwing himself off the top. If he is hungry he will find the shortest route possible to get to the food bowl and if it involves throwing himself off something...

I love that last picture, it looks like they are grinning their head off at you :D
