No. You tort looks nice and healthy. And he/she is adorable, too. GOD bless.These are the pictures thanks
A hygrometer, I hope.That's a relief, I'm just confused as to why he's beginning to turn quite white on his shell, I have a 80W heat lamp with UVB & UVA I also have a hydrometer to let me know if the moisture ever drops, thanks
He looks pretty good, actually.How can you tell if they are starting to pyramid?
Looks fine to me, most definitely not shellrot, just new growth i think.Yes a hygrometer sorry and yes I was recommended the bulb and glow light, it is the exo terra brand and yes it is the white that I am mostly concerned about, I have recently just bathed him and the white has returned
The little one looks extremely dry to me. Several members use extra virgin coconut oil on the shells, they just rub a dab on really good and then use a towel to wipe off any excess. You might give that a try.Yes a hygrometer sorry and yes I was recommended the bulb and glow light, it is the exo terra brand and yes it is the white that I am mostly concerned about, I have recently just bathed him and the white has returned
Don't worry. You cute little tort looks fine. And keep asking questions when in need of help.Okay, thank you I did think he was a little dry but I'll try the coconut oil and see how that goes, it's put me at ease knowing he isn't starting to suffer a much more serious problem though
That white stuff could be a deposit from hard water (contains much calcium and magnesium) still it's a bit strange, how long do you have him? Was his shell that way when you got him?Yes a hygrometer sorry and yes I was recommended the bulb and glow light, it is the exo terra brand and yes it is the white that I am mostly concerned about, I have recently just bathed him and the white has returned
Are his feeties that dry as well? Or is it just the shell? if both I would use athlets foot cream just in case, after a week maybe little more you should see an improvement. It looks like water deposit to me but it's hard to judge from a pic. Dryness can be a symptom of fungi growth.I've had him for about half a year now, he has only been starting to get this white stuff for about a month, it goes away once I bathe him however it comes back a little while later, he's eating well, he's active and he regularly passes stool so i can only imagine I just need to find a better method of bathing him so he doesn't get very dry
