My sis's tortoise, a male red ear slider, have something abnormal today... The bottom of one eye turns red and so as all webs.... Is he ill? Or just owing to change in weather? I'm so worried (´・_・`) thank you!

I don't know, Chelsea. I've never seen that before.

Does the red eye protrude at all? or just simply bloodshot? I have no idea about the webbing though...hmmm?

Simply bloodshot :(
I wondered if he's too hot under the sun
Today, the red area has become paler, in pink...
I guess he's recovering =]
Thank you so much!!

oh good....if their eyes are bloodshot and they have a sudden flash of red it is usually an indicator of a sudden stress on their bodies...maybe as you said the heat was a bit much and it stressed them trying to cool down..nonetheless, I am glad to hear they are getting back to normal... :p
