I to was having problems and zeropilot pointed out exactly what was needed. I have a 75 watt heat lamp hanging and the t5ho set 12 inches above shell point. Until I put the t5honin my tortoise would not even come and bask.

I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him outdoors in Louisiana. To much unstable weather and not to mention the predators.

Is this normal looking urates? This is the first time he had done this. I soak him everyday and make sure his greens are well covered in water.
