I put my 3-year-old Hermann's Tortoise outside today for about an hour. Didn't realize that it was already 100 degrees out (I live in Phoenix). Normally, if he gets too warm he will burrow. He has hides and about half of the enclosure is in the shade. When I went out to check on him, he was just sitting there, kind of bubbling and foaming at the mouth. I immediately brought him in and sprayed him with room temperature water. I soaked him in lukewarm water for about 30 seconds, before thinking that might shock him and took him out. He is in his indoor enclosure now, in the dark. He seems to be okay, but restless. I don't know if I should take him to the vet or not. I am very concerned, but I don't want to stress him even more. Do you guys have any suggestions?
