Hey my buds been struggling to darken his shell, have tried a couple of inside lights and just switched to a zoo med tube fluorescent.
I live in NYC, and know the living situation will not be ideal for this species, but I’m making do with a small outside balcony cage for some sun, the grow light, and slowly building more complex bigger inside cages as I save up money. He gets soaks, he gets calcium, doing what I can with what I got.
How long does it normally take for new growth to darken for predominantly inside tortoises?
does anyone know a vet who has tortoise experience in NYC? (I want some training on how to trim beak and nails in case I ever need to)
