I checked his temps and on the stones for basking its 95° down below is 84° and on other end where water and food is 79° I think they are o
He is burrowed in the corner where it is 84 right.now. not even in his hide for the first time for night..

So today my tort is sleepy.. I had he out and walking for over an hour he's peed and pooped today but when it comes to eating just little nibbles. Can this be due to how much and how late his last food was yesterday?

OK yeah I soak him twice a day for no less then 20 minutes usually I try for 40 if he will go for it :) mornings are not so bad as I took ur soaking advice so he warms up in the water sleeping lounging for up to 1 he.

What about if he gets a little scratch on his belly? Like when u scratch ur arm and there's little mark. Will that be OK? Since I have moved his water to add stones he seems tempted to try his water I always catch him with front feet in then he backs out. Also he now realized that from...
So I should take them out?
