Lethargic Tortoise

[Kisobel]

Heya people, unfortunately it may have happened again.

My tort Herman has been lethargic again recently, like all limbs lay down while head is also out resting whilst his eyes are closed under the heat lamp.

Normally I’d say he just sleeping but it’s not the first time he been doing it recently. The temperatures are all correct, 32 hot 26 cool (degrees C)

All the lights are correct, all correct timing etc.

His diet has changed yes but that was from him being picky. It has now became a very leafy green type grocery store type diet so maybe that’s the problem, he still gets his baths but I’ve been at work lots recently so haven’t been able to monitor. All I’ve noticed is the white stringy wee as of recently so I’m not sure.

I’d really like to know how I can help him, I’m lost and feeling like a really bad owner again :/

Any info that you need I’ll try my best to respond with, but is there any advice where I can help him?

The pic below isn’t of what I just seen, he was very more all limbs spread out type of laying. But this is when I noticed the napping under lamp, what he normally doesn’t do.

Please let me know any advice. Thanks

Additional part, I’ve found this on his head that showed up? I’m not sure what it is. Any help?

Your temps are not correct. Basking should be 95-100F
All over should range from 75-80.
They aren't off a lot but get them higher.
Also what is the humidity? Hatchling should be in a closed chamber with 80% humidity and adult can have around 50%
You don't have moss or sand in the enclosure do you? If so remove it, both can cause impactions and moss also entanglement inside and out

I have no moss or anything like that, the temp does rise to about 32-35.

Humidity I can’t really fix but it goes to about 30-50 it fluctuates. I try my best to get it higher but currently working on that.

If it's a young baby yet it needs the closed chamber enclosure and that will get the humidity where it needs to be and hold it there. About once a week or so you would dampen the substrate.
If it's a juvie or adult then your humidity isn't bad, but yes, shoot for 50% dampening the substrate more will help there.
Get the over all temp to 80F and the basking to 95-100/38C and see how she does then.
