RE: Help

Hi smooth:

Welcome to the Tortoise forum!!

We're going to have to know more info before we can help you, but first...what would you like us to call you?

how do you have the tortoise set up?
heat
lighting
substrate
what are you offering for food?
is there a water dish?
how big is the container he's in?
does he ever get outside in real sun?


Maybe if you show us a picture of his set-up we can help you better, but in the meantime, make sure he's warm enough. (at least 100F under the light with it tapering down to room temp at the opposite end from the light)
