Heya guys & gals !
My name is Michael and im here to Introduce my lovely new greek tortoise's Samera & Helios. And to show my habitat terarium. And to get general information on there sex and sub-species.
So i have purchaced and recived these wonderfull greek's about 4 days ago and me haveing prior experance with reptiles i noticed that the tortious with the lighter color might have a resperatory infection
=( I noticed a little wetness on the nose area with a bubble. But it has been dry since then. It couild be because she just came out of the water ? I dont know. Also i noticed that they sleep alot the light colored one more then the other. I have seen them bolth eat. Its got me stressed out :S So i made a appointment with a vet for monday. Hopefully they dont get to sick untill then.
So i have my habitat heated to a Air temp of 80-85 and 90-105 on the lamp side.
