Hello! I have a redfooted tort and he's almost five years old. He's got a lot of different environments (his cage with basking and night lamps, pool, food etc), his outdoor enclosure with his dog house, and the floor of my house. In the past month or so, I've noticed he's been making some really weird movements with his neck that look very uncomfortable, where he sticks his head all the way out, twists it a little bit, and moves one of his front legs along with it. My boyfriend says he looks like he's got an itch, but I've been noticing it happens after he's been outside all day. When this happens, he also looks wet, which is strange because I know tortoises don't sweat and he was not around water for him to get wet in. Has this ever happened to anyone else's tort? The episodes pass but they scare me, I took him to the vet and the vet said everything looked fine and that he was healthy but the episodes keep happening and are starting to really freak me out. Please let me know if you have any info!
