Oh ok! I have it at about 85-86 right now, and his basking temperatures is about 89. I’ll turn the basking temp up a bit

As for humidity, i wasn’t told I needed a kind humidifier in his enclosure, do I need one? (Probably a stupid question haha). I’ll definitely give the bath method a try. Pretty sure he has food stuck in his nose then because he’s a very messy eater. I usually try to wipe his face after he eats...

Ok, I’ll try the flushing method. However I don’t see anything lodged in his nose, is it possibly too small and far up there for me to see?

Thank you :) I actually haven’t weighed him in a while and don’t have a way to do so at the moment. I’m guessing like 8-10 lbs? But I’m sometimes very off with my guesses haha sorry

Ok I’ll definitely keep looking into it. I recently built him a heated enclosure (the picture of the house was taken as it was getting finished so it’s not the best). I’m thinking of doing a whole post about his enclosure but I have to wait for the rain to stop before taking better pictures...

Ok [emoji4]

No, nothing out of the ordinary I make sure to check up on stuff like that. Thanks :) he’s definitely a big boy haha

I notice it almost all the time but some days its louder than others. He lays on a heating pad without anything else due to fire hazards.

My 7 year old sulcata tortoise whistles when he breathes. I’ve noticed it’s been going on for over a month and didn’t think much of it at first. He’s very active, has a big appetite, and overall seems happy and healthy. It wasn’t till recently I thought I’d better look into it since it wasn’t...

Ok good point!

So I just finished the outdoor enclosure for my sulcata. I have my Kane heating pad and Reptiles Basics 80 WATT RHP both plugged into my Zilla 1000 Watt Temperature Controller. Does this look correct? I’m not the best with electronics and want to make sure I did everything right. I have the...

I got the 18” by 28” Kane heating pad, however I did not measure his outdoor enclosure well enough since I added insulation which made less room, so it pretty much covers the entire floor. There’s some room in from of the pad where Cheerio can go in case he gets too hot but it’s not a ton a room...

Ok thank you, and yes it’s for my sulcata.

I recently built my Sulcata tortoise an outdoor enclosure and need to know if there’s any specific thermostat I should use for my 80 watt RHP and Kane heating pad. I live in the Bay Area of California where it can get pretty cold in the winter, but it doesn’t ever snow. Also what temperature...

Thanks [emoji1374]
