Air bubbles in the skin of the upper body and neck can be a sign of Spontaneous Subcutaneous Emphysema, or Pneuomediastium. This is a type of side effect from pneumonia. The most likely cause is the problem you are having with the temperatures. The LED bulb is just a light bulb. It is...

RE: double chin. Are you seeing more of a bubbling under the skin? Like a puffy air bubble?

Well. Not too much to add. I might at this point ask for an xray to make sure there is not something wrapped tightly around where the crack is. Or a staple/similar foreign object inside the flesh. Does this tort walk the floors frequently? That's not recommended for a number of reasons (they...

I've already cited some of the plentiful research about conspiracy theories. A clear, sunlit sky looks like a smooth blue surface, but we have learned that it is not. F*acebook groups say that tortoises pyramid because of diet and too much water, but that's now demonstrably untrue. Just saying...

The photo of the back legs is too blurry to be helpful. But your tortoise is NOT displaying the kind of Puffiness associated with illness -- in those cases, the legs blow up so much that they block the shell and cannot be pulled back in. Gravely ill animals do not eat. Is this tort eating a...

Because, cat.

Damage to the eyes themselves? I don't know. But eyes are externalized brain parts; we should be careful with them. Light does impact day-night cycles. I do know that I don't like sitting near my blue grow lamps. The glare is unnatural, even painful. I keep my Grow-lamp-dependent plants in...

High wind in the mountains is not unusual. No reporting has said otherwise. It is the perfect storm of drought, autumn heat, fire, and 115 mph winds that is unique this year. All the data matters...

The Mole snake looks very short and muscular like a Sand boa!

The mercury vapor bulb adds a lot of harsh heat -- check the temps in the habitat to make sure they are not going out of safe range. A few weeks, even, without uvb radiation is not going to hurt at all (think of how they are not exposed to any natural light radiation during winter when they are...

I'm guessing s/he went missing for 5 months in the neighborhood? You've probably got a combination of instincts kicking in (food doesn't just *show up* in the wild - grab it!), plus good-old-experience (if you flip in the wild, you have to un-flip yourself - be careful and for goodness sake...

It's not hard to find the actual science of climate change: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=climate+change There is on-going research into climate disinformation: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-publhealth-090419-102409? And, since climate denial is now a popular topic...

Spider plant and Pothos are really easy to grow in a habitat and are pretty easy to come by...the safest are plants (or cuttings) you get from friends, family...anyone who does not use pesticides or weed killer in their pots (ones you buy in stores always have dangerous chemicals in the potting...

The section of plastron showing in the video seems completely Normal, and it seems to be a good size in comparison to your hand. Whole-body top and side photos when you get home would be great! There are a number of things that predispose reptiles to metabolic bone disease...give us a good...
