I just got Thor about 13 days ago, when I first got him he wasn't very active (but he was eating and doing a little bit of walking around?)and I thought it was because he was adjusting to him new home or he wasn't getting enough heat. But for the passed 2 days Thor has been sleeping ALOT! and I thought it was definitely time to up the wattage of his heat because usually (before I got the new bulb) the temperature in his habitat usually only 80 degrees. But now since I upped the Wattage from 60W to 150W the temperature in his habitat is 120 degrees (on warm side) and about 60-75 degrees on the cool side)which I thought since his habitat is warmer he would be WAY more active and happy. But I was WRONG. All he wants to do is sleep ALL THE TIME, he barely moves, when I do move him he it immediately goes to sleep, when he does move on his own he only moves to eat and sometimes he even falls asleep while eating! I really think he wants to hibernate I don't think anything is wrong with him because he is eating, I spray him twice a day with water for hydration, I have a UVB bulb for him, two days ago I actually soaked him for 10 mins in the bath. Maybe I'm overreacting but I am a new tortoise owner and I don't wanna sweep anything under the rug that may be a warning sign that Thor may be sick.
