i see. i'll try to move the bin more to the side to see how it works. with the current set up, the darker ends has only about 30c. if it still too hot then i'll have to change the bulb back to ceramic heat emitter and gets his uvb from the sun.

yeah i know that too,but that's the maximum height i can get. well, i guess he's ok with that, but not sure. cz he never goes directly under it. he just stay at the border where the temperature is just right. just now i manage to get a pic from my tablet. no need to wait until next week. not...

oh hi, its been a while. now i changed him into indoor habitat. prolong under the sun seems hazardous even with shades and everything. now he's house indoor with exo terra solar glo. the spot directly under the light is 60C. the cooler end is 30C. even though its 60c, at least he can stay...

Guys, when should I really really worry about my tortoise? I mean, he's eating and eyes are clear. Sleeps most of the time, assuming that he's still a baby. The only problem is the bubbly nose. well the bubble is clear. But this morning, I saw his bubble was as big as his head. and when he saw...

i see. well, the bubble seems lessened. i can usually see it when he wakes up. other than that. rarely. not sure if its a sign of healing or what

hi @Fredkas , its been a while. yeah, well, i brought my baby for injection. the Dr did not told me the antibiotic she's using, even though i asked her. she just told me its antibiotic. cant blame her though, she's not herp vet. well, the bubble seems reduced, but it's still there. asked local...

hi guys, its been few days. finally, i've decided to give antibiotic a try this coming monday. since my vet here is not a herp vet so i need to do a bit of research here. there's few things in concern. anyone with tortoise jab experience may share your experiences as a reference. all i know...

thanks for the reminder. i just fed my tortoise fenbendazole. now im observing to see if there's any improvement within this one week. but that's only deworming. hopefully the bubbly nose is caused by the stress from the worm and goes away with the dead worms.

anyone tried using antibiotic drops into nasal chamber? I read at http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/commondisease.html it suggest giving nasal drop. any feedbacks or review? Since mine is a leopard tortoise , it says there they might react by vomiting and frothing at nose and mouth. A bit...

oh meaning that i need to get my tort to get injected no matter how? i thought it would just go away just by his own antibody. i worry it would only gets worse after injection. things like side effects or so. btw, what's a herp vet? i think we only have general vet here. no specializations.

hi @Lyn W thanks for your concern. the blue plastic container is only used during the night time. for day time he gets plenty of sunlight and there's one time i think he's over heated because even under the shades the temperature rises as high as 45c. without shades, the temperature can goes as...

@JoesMum is there any picture tutorial on feeding Fenbendazole? Mine comes in liquid form. I tried cutting 2 slices of strawberry and put a drop of the med in between as a sandwich. Somehow it squeezes out the med and my tort won't eat it. I'm so doubtful of the 2nd vet. I think she's...

Hi guys, a bit of advice here needed. My Tortoise finally made a poop after so many days of not pooping. Not sure Constipation or just lack of food consumption. So I brought the poop for fecal exam and the Dr saw 'something' was actually moving and suggested me to give my tort...

the bubble seems not normal to me, it's not big though. it feels like human runny nose consistency, not very watery but not thick. its clear. the wetness on his nose can last a few minutes even after i dried it with dry tissue paper. there may not be bubble but there's definitely wetness. the...

Thanks for he advice. still figuring out whats the problem. for the last few days since the bubbly nose problem, i started to soak 3 times a day. with warm water. tried giving variety of food but he's very choosy. only eats 'sawi' or a few bites of 'kailan'. i tried giving hibiscus leaves, he...

hi guys, its been a while since i heard from you guys. so there's a question, do tortoises eats whenever we provide food or do they skip meals for a day or so occasionally? how active should they be? i did an observation to my tortoise, he likes to sleep or sits there doing nothing during day...

hi @Taco*mom thanks for the concern. i'm not sure if my tortoise is getting better or what. where what i did and observed. before that, here's a look of the indoor set up. i know. the lack of substrate might be irritating, but if i'm not reading the hygrometer wrongly, even set up like this...

Oh thanks for the reply, but somewhat my tort doesn't produce sound of any kind d anymore. Just bubble. I'm curious what causes the sound too.

Hi guys, if I increase the humidity to 70% and keep the temperature around 28-35c, as well as soaking my tortoise, how long should the bubble be gone? It's been 3 days and I still see bubbles from his nose. I'm worried if it gets worse and ended up as pneumonia. The bubble is clear though...

yeah a bit worry. this morning before going to work i gave a few pieces of vege for him to eat. he eats it. seems normal. no sound. no bubble. i let him do his business. after about 30 minutes later, i try to check on him, he was heating himself under the ceramic heat emitter. then i pick him...
