    Can I put him a pan of water for a bit and splash water over him? If it was me, I would appreciate it at least twice a day right now, it's miserable for people, but I don't want to overdo it for Humphrey.

    I read bubbling mouth (not nose) can be overheating, more baths in his future, thought FL would be ideal with warm temps and high humidity. Googled the noise and it sounds just like him, could it be he is getting used to us and letting us know if we come to close to his den area?

    Hi again, thank you, I did give him two small bites of apple with no skin and no seeds (never feed our parrots the seeds either. Glad I got your comment on no fruit, I was going to give him the mango in pieces. There were no hibiscus blossoms today.

    Hawks vs Tortoise

    When Humphrey walks the yard, there is a hawk that sits on the fence sometimes and watches him, should I be aware and alert? He weighs 25 pounds, we weighed him the other day.

    Humphrey our newly acquired tort

    My husband looked at him, looked up info and said his "tummy" area is concave so that means he's a male. Haven't checked. Does that sound right?
