Well for the update today..
I have kept the temps up around 83-88'. The humidity was at 79. My tortoise did not move from the same spot all day, well for the last 24 hours. He will move his arms and head comes in and out, his eyes dont open either.
I did not use any UVB light (following NERDS website)I did soak him for about 1 minute to see if he would or not.(This is what I have been doing with him the last 4 days to get him to drink) He maybe had a little. I did not handle him. I offered strawberries and leafy greens, he did not eat anything. I also misted him multiple times.
I talked to the breeders again and she said to move him from under the heat light that he is getting over heated. She said that he has been over heated and tht is why he isnt responding to anything. But then everyone in this forum is telling me that he was to cold and thats why he stays under the heat light.... Is this the case??? Should I move him away from the heat?
What temp should I let the enclosure get to and night, low 80s???
I am really confused and I welcome any advise and thoughts.
Thanks
