    Concerned about Tank

    Oh his main food is Muzari pellets. I simply used the raspberries to draw him to me because he loves red and it worked. Should I make his house warmer? He seems to leave it once it gets to 90-92 in there. Even in the hot summer days, he hides in the shade when we reach the 90s. Tank was a...

    Thank you so much. After putting the door back on the temperature went up to 90 degrees. I opened the door the next morning and he came to me immediately ate kale and some fruit along with water and coddle bones. I was so happy he was back to his old self. We hung out together for a while. He...

    Just put the plywood door back on and the temperature went to 78 in 20 minutes. I expect it to get warmer. The lights don't hit him directly. They are angled to face the door. He did eat the fruit n some kale. I will get the black ceramic heating bulbs tomorrow. God bless you all n thank you. I...

    Concerned about Tank

    House is made of plywood all around with no insulation. The door is 2 thick terri cloth towels cut in strips at the bottom so he can walk in and out. We used to have a plywood door that really kept the heat in there. Should I put the wood door back on? Does this help to know the wattage I need...

    What watts do I buy? They have several watts. I know you guys will know more than the workers at the pet store. Do I buy 1 or 2? The barn is 3ft by 4ft.

    Concerned about Tank

    Tank is almost 4 yrs old. He has a wood barn we built him 1 year ago. Temperatures dropped about 12 days ago and he has been in the barn for 10 days now. We think it's because we keep the 2 heating lamps on 24/7. We have a thermometer in there which records an average of 65-70 at night and 70-85...

    Who's Eyes Are Correct?

    Thank you to all who responded. I went outside to take a close up. It looked like mucus. Then I fed them and showered them down since I'm in Arizona. They love the shower. I was shocked that after he soaked under the hose, the white part was gone completely. Could it just have been some mucus...

    Who's Eyes Are Correct?

    Can you tell me if I have anything to be concerned about. I just noticed that Frank, on the left has white around his eyeballs. Are his eyes correct or are Tank's (larger tortoise on the right) eye's correct? Thank you for the help. Concerned mommy.

    Sulcata breathing

Caught breathing really heavy this morning where i could even see her chest (best way i know to call the space under her neck) moving up and down quite a bit...
