Its recently been over 100+ (today was about 105 in So Cal) and I went to put my tortoise away for the evening and noticed he was foaming pretty badly at the mouth and opening his mouth quite wide.
Freaked me out and I thought of heat stroke. I brought him in immediately and cooled him down with room temp water and was able to get some water down his throat. He is no longer foaming or gasping.
My issue is, if he's a CDT why would these temps bother him? We've had him for over 25 years and I've never seen this happen.
