    Reptisafe good for soaks and misting?

    Hi everyone, I've heard mixed things about using Reptisafe for tortoises. Is it safe to use for tortoise soaks since they drink the water sometimes? And is it also safe to use with water used for misting the enclosure? Thanks :)

    Normal tongue color?

    ~Repost! ?~ Helloo, Humphrey is about 5 months old, I was just wondering if his tongue in this picture taken today looks is a normal color? From what I think I recall I thought his tongue should be more of a pink. He eats a lot of spring mix and dandelion.
