I'm very sad to say I must sell my poor tortoise. I got a speeding ticket and need to come up with the money I need. I love my baby Sheldon but heard tortoises can go for a good chunk. I dont want to sell him. I love him so much but I have run out of options :'( so if anyone has any info where I...
I've tried carrots and apples...but whatever I put in with his lettuce diet of spring mix, all he eats is the lettuce. He won't eat anything else. I dnt want to waste more food but how do I get him to eat new things???
Well he starts to smell like an aquatic turtle does. Kind of....idk it's hard to explain. He just smells bad so I give him a little bath and clean him and he smells fine after. I only give him a bat once a week. I'm thinking it might be from his water dish. I have it in his enclosure for him to...
I give him a toothbrush bath weekly. In fact I had just done it before I took the pic to see if t was in fact dirt or something. But they stayed. And yes he does have big eyes. He's so cute

Oh then I need a stronger heat bulb. The 85 is the basking. And yes I have a UVB bulb but its right at its 6 month mark an I need to get another one. What wattage shud I get to have the basking at 100-110???
I got him in march before I started college and work. And I would hold him constantly but for the last few months I've been so busy I barely have time to hold him daily. And now when I do pick him up he hides in his shell and tries to walk away when I hold him. He didn't used to do that. Have I...
