Hi my name is Henry my friend bought a sulcata tortoise about 2 years ago he moved away and decided to give him to me his name is Carlos. I don’t know too much about him so I have been reading constantly about how to raise him. I have been feeding him all the greens I can buy going from lettuce, kale, arugula, spinach, some vegetables like cucumber, carrots, and other. I have a glass enclosure with a fluorescent tube for uvb it’s a 18watt T8 I also have a basking bulb I can’t remember the watt or the name of the bulb but his basking spot is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I just recently got a heat bulb on a thermostat for night time and to keep the cage at a stable temperature. I soak him at least once a week but he has a big water bowl with sphagnum moss to help keep the humidity up. I’m worried because everything I read online says he’s supposed to be much bigger. Also I think he is pyramiding my friend wasn’t the best with him at all. His shell is very soft as well. His eyes seem somewhat okay I don’t know much so I could be wrong. What can I do to correct this and is my cage and set up okay? Please help thank you!
