I soak their bedding while they’re out in the grass here and there and we have about 70% humidity here during the day. Is there something else I can do to ensure they are not dry?
Just to add a few more details, they both were kept in inside enclosures for about 5 months before being moved outside. The one that is not growing does eat and appears to have an appetite and poops, but the plastron isn’t as hard as the growing sulcatas plastron.
I got two baby sulcata’s about 9 months ago, I WAS keeping them together until I found out that it was a no no. I separated them about 7 months into having them. They are both kept outside in Hawaii where the temp is normally 80 during the day and 76ish at night. I take them outside to walk in...
He has had these eye problems before we got him and that’s partially why we were hesitant but we wanted to help him out as much as possible so we got him. He has an indoor enclosure in the garage for humidity purposes, and we take him outside for at least an hour a day.
So I just found out that the light I have is a problem, the substrate is eco earth on the bottom to maintain moisture topped with repti bark, and humidity is 70 ish, and temp is like 85-90
Little man has been having some eye issues and I apply nature zones tortoise eyedrops once everyday as well as soaking him everyday...not seeming to get better. Any suggestions please?!
Also just want to add that they are NOT kept together, they have their own enclosures and are only together for a comparison photo and are taken outside together in a large yard for natural sunlight:)
Yea I know they’re just extra scutes...but the picture doesn’t really grasp the kind of dent that is in the shell, and that’s what I’m most worried about.
Oh yea totally, that’s just me letting them
Out in the grass for natural sunlight and all. They have separate enclosures. Also just for the comparison picture.
My husband and I recently got this little one and have been wanting him for a while because of her specialness. We waited a month or two before getting her, but once we found that she was the only one left of the bunch and we didn’t think anyone would give her a life because of the potential...
