No other tortoises are around him.

Sulcata

Thank you so much for the responses. I will keep an eye on him. By the way he is a Sulcata.

Sorry photo is upsidedown

I noticed this on my boys leg. Any idea? Is it shedding? Or maybe he scraped it off somehow?

Day on the left & night time on the right.

I was looking @ my Sulcata's eyes & noticed they seem bloodshot. I've never noticed before. Is this normal, or should I have her checked out.

I'll incorporate all 3 into her diet..

I use these two now:

Ok great, I will find some.. Thanks!!

She seems to be eating the cypress mulch sometimes.. Any experience with this, & is it ok for her?

Oh wait, I just reread your statement. I listened to what your advice was, but links? Somehow I do not see the links... Sorry, don't mean to waste your time. Just a miscommunication..

Yeah, I was just expressing my concern because of the things I've learned over the years. Varying levels of peoples "expertise".. & it makes me worry, that is all. I have read other literature that states the exact opposite, so I was just looking for reassurance.. I figured that would be clear...

I went with the cypress mulch, but now the humidity in her tank went from 40% to 55%. & since it's cypress, everything is damp. Is that not bad for her... I'm a bit worried.

& now she's having a nice meal. :)

Spider plants, ok I'll have to check into those then. Yes, I feed her green & red leaf lettuce usually, & with carrots sometimes. Those go on a plate to keep things from getting too messy. Yes, she has a log that she "hides" under. But the log is getting too small for her & I need something...

Any suggestions as to what type of plants to keep in pen with her? & is it ok to cut a bunch of grass/dandelilns from outside & sprinkle that in her pen?

Yes, I had just put the substrate in. She also has a hiding log, & a water bowl... & a feeding plate regularly.

Glad to hear. I'm so used to the thought that "wet is bad" for a sulcatathat I am slightly worried because Cypress is damp. But I'm going to give it a shot. Here is a picture of her pen. & here is a picture if her outside enjoying some grass & dandelions... :)
