    Normal (legs look weird)

    Is this normal for his legs to look like this? Looks weird to me. It's like this on both sides. Idk maybe I'm just being over protective. Also Thor has been active a lot lately every since I got him on Christmas day.

    Tortoise problem

    All my tortoise does is sleep and lay under the basing bulb. He eats but not as much and he isn't pooping. I soak him once a week and spray him twice a day and when I do soak him he just sits there. I give him calcium twice a day. His humidity is 40%, his basking area is 95 degrees, at night...

    Russian tortoise skin peeling on head

    My totoise skin on his head is peeling and I think it's because the bulb I recently had was too hot for him but now I have a lower wattage bulb (75W) that keeps the temp at 86 degrees. I'm just wonder if I should be worried about it and what can I do to heal it. And also my tortoise hasn't...

But for the passed 2 days Thor has been sleeping ALOT! and...
