Get your daytime ambient up to around 95F and keep it 85-90 at night, and the RI should clear up within a few days. Soak the tortoise daily during this time and keep the enclosure humid. Keep the soak water warm for the entire 40 minute soak. You can put soaking tub inside the enclosure to keep it warm.Yes, I have
You don't need to "give" the tortoise water. The tortoise should have a shallow water dish sunk into the substrate in its enclosure, so it can drink when it wants to. You should also be soaking the tortoise in warm water several times per week.Should I be giving tortoise water during RI?
Bcz as soon as he drinks water it starts coming out of his nose and mouth drop by drop and the same time he pulls his neck out and keep his head upwards.
