    Aftale about my tortoise’s shell and skin on the head

    Aww thank you! I Think so too! He isn’t afraid at all and he is very curious ? Sometimes he even stretches his neck and head towards my fingers in the morning, so he can be rubbed, first he stretches the head to one side so I can stroke him gently on one side of the neck, then when he is done...

    Ohh ... I actually have soaked him every day since I got him in September. 15-50m every day, he loves morning baths ☺️ The water is between 32-35 celsius. What could the cause then be? Maybe I can take a picture from the side when he wakes up so that you clearly can see the eyes.

    Aftale about my tortoise’s shell and skin on the head

    Please help! New owner, have questions

    Thank you so much for all the answers <3 We didn’t have room for both, so I went to another very good petshop, were they had the right food, lightning and everything, and he said that it was better if we kept the bigger one as it seemed stronger. The smaller one also gets a tortoise table on its...
