hello! id like to ask 1) how often do you clean/wash the zoomed reptibark? 2) how do you prevent them from getting ticks? 3) also, as seen in the pic, there’s a red bump on the head of my tort where the tick was previously removed (like a wk ago)
my sulcatas have been getting one or two ticks lately.. they stay outdoors at our garden during daytime and stay in their enclosure at night so i haven’t really deep cleaned/washed the susbtrate. i got their reptibark just last June 8 but i noticed earlier that there are tiny insects under the reptibark, im not rlly sure if it’s baby ticks… but they move/jump fast!
btw, i live in the Philippines and a first time owner of reptiles
