Thanks so much for the answer.. I googled "Marbled Cherry Heads" and saw a lot of pictures, it looks exactly like what is starting on my tortoise.
So much for wasting $50 at that useless vet ><
thanks!
I have had this girl for 7 years and she is perfectly healthy (aside from slight pyramiding) about 6 or so months ago I noticed a single white spot appear on her shell, I thought nothing of it as it didnt look like fungus, a month went by and she developed more, slowly they appeared around her...
No offense at all taken about the vet, Its the first time I have personally used her, and while she has dealt with a lot of reptiles, i dont think these meds were a good idea for the torts, they arent that sick, it was just some whistling! Thank you so much everyone for the help..I am SO glad to...
Thanks so much for the advice I really appreciate it. So they dont actually NEED medication to clear up a RI? if she even has one. My older female whistles off and on too but shes healthy so I never worry, the smaller female just seems to whistle much louder and consistently..So I am concerned...
I will try give you some more info to help clarify. First off, they are all Red Footed tortoises. I will be the first to say that I am no tortoise expert, but for the last 7 years I have been caring for my (first) Redfoot since she was a baby, she is very healthy and has never had any health...
Recently I adopted 2 new tortoises, noticed both were making whistling sounds, the smaller one whistling much worse then the larger one. I took them both to the ONLY herp vet in my area, and she said they have a Vitamin A deficiency from poor diet, she said their eyes are slightly puffy and the...
Well, I do let the humidity drop daily when I have the lid off while I clean out the pen and prepare food, change water etc. Also they have been spending afternoons outdoors all summer and currently it is still warm enough that they are spending 4-5 hours outside during the day. The enclosure is...
Thanks for the replies. That makes sense that Oogway wont give up her territory. I think we will turn Oogway`s enclosure into a 2 level so Ogway can have the lower floor and Peach will be on the top floor. I will just have to change the front design of the enclosure and add more lighting to the...
Hi, actually the left side has a halogen heat lamp, and the right side has a ceramic heat lamp and a UVB light, so both sides have a warm area but only the right hand side has UVB light at the moment (I am planning on adding a long UVB light that runs across the whole enclosure). I know they...
It measures about 5ft by 4ft, has a ceramic heat bulb, halogen flood bulb, florescent UVB light. It has a plexiglass front, and the lid is a sheet of coroplast (corrugated plastic sheet) with a vent in the top for air circulation. The humidity in there is 90% all the time. I recently moved my...
Hi. I have a 6 year old female RFT that I have had since she was a baby (her name is Oogway). She has always lived alone in her large custom enclosure, the enclosure is about 5 ft by 4ft in size.
Three months ago I adopted another female RFT (named Peach) she is 3 years old and considerably...
