Hi guys, I’m a new tortoise owner (Red foot tortoise) I have had him for about 3 weeks. The last two days when I have been soaking him he screams a few times. But I haven’t heard him when he doesn’t soak.
He always poops when he soaks (warm water). I’m wandering if he is slightly constipated. He seems okay after he poops.
he is kept in a vivarium
I have his basking light on 90-100 f and ambient temp around 75-80 at day and 75-70 at night
He has uv b light 12 hours a day
His diet consists of greens, fruits and little protein once a week. And Komodo tortoise complete diet pellets (high fibre)
His substrate is bark chip coarse grade mixed with coco coir.
Any help appreciated.
