I was looking at my Tortoise just now and noticed a little red spider looking bug on the tort. Is it literally like the size of the point of a needle. What is it? Can it infest the house?
Tom said:Kjr, Where are you?
There are all sorts of bugs in the world that can get on our tortoises just as easily as they can get on a rock or a picnic table. The bug you saw is not tortoise related, its just a bug that happened to crawl onto your tortoise. Any bug species has the potential to infest your house, given the right conditions, but this has nothing to do with your tortoise.
