About 6 days ago I noticed a runny nose during Tortellinis soak, the next couple days I got sick with covid and stopped handling tortellini for his soaks so was unable to closely monitor the symptoms. I did not see anything alarming until 2 days ago when I picked him up and noticed a whistle in...

I am looking into adding a germicid LED light to my tortoise enclosure only for the purpose of having the enclosure lit up during the day (not a UVB) and hoping this can eliminate some potential germ issues. I am looking at one in the Home Depot, does anyone know if the germicidal light is...
