On Monday I put out the oldest of my wooden enclosures because it was full with mold ( the result of high humidity for my torts ). I had help but when we took the enclosure out of the living room the wet wood slided out of my hand and scratched my leg. It hasn`t hurt, so I thought it was okay but on Tuesday the inflammation came with chills and the fever came later.
The good thing: My little (big) sullies have a new enclosure that is bigger than the older was.
oh my!
I had a leg incident too. There's this new stray tom cat that's been coming around. He has gotten very pushy, and if I don' put the food down quick enough to suit him he attacks me. So yesterday I was opening the lids of tortoise enclosures, working my way to the back of the carport where the cat food container is, and he jumped on my leg and bit me! I smacked him with the tortoise food lid (plastic) I was holding, and he stopped attacking, but wasn't the least bit afraid of me. I felt liquid running down my leg, so went in the house and washed the wound with Betadine. I'm pondering two choices. . . trap him and take him to be euthanized, or trap him and take him to be neutered. He's not young. He beats up my cats and they're deathly afraid of
him.
