    Is mold safe for sulcatas?

    I was doing my weekly spot clean of my torts tank and found mold growing on the inside of his hide. Is this something i can just clean off and it will be fine? Keeping a high humidity while keeping mold out seems impossible.

    Tortoise not wanting to soak?

    My baby Sulcata is being stubborn. I place him in the pot saucer I have filled halfway with water, and he spends maybe a minute or two in there and just gets right out. Will this be a problem or will it be fine?
