Is my sulcata sick?

[Yvonne G]

Thank you. Let me see if I can replace the one we already have. . .

 

[Yvonne G]

Thanks. That'll work!!!

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection I'd take it to the vet and get it some medicine.

I think those pretty flagrant errors were noted & pointed out many threads ago. That care sheet was reposted by @Yvonne G from a FACEBOOK turtle page since it had lots of other “good” info. But, the temps & substrate not correct.....

TFO should probably remove that link since temps are so darned critical to a healthy tort!

No no no. Yvonne wouldn’t give wrong info. She’s too knowledgeable.

No no no. Yvonne wouldn’t give wrong info. She’s too knowledgeable.

It's all fixed now!

I think the basking light could be closer and point it straight down, not at an angle...also...if you are in Washington state where I think you are...there's a great chance he IS too cold.

Yeah you’re right. Lights that aren’t directly pointed down can damage eyes of the tortoises from what I remember.
