Hi all . So I took BBY YOLLI today to a suppose sulcata specialist. Everything he told me contradicted all the info Ive learned here from the post popular discussions, from keeping two bby sulcatas together to interactions with hatchlings. As well he gave me a website that contradicts a lot of the stuff posted here. Ill share the website. Anyways I thought BBY YOLLI had a RI infection bc I his nose was clogged up I couldnt see his nostrils and he was squeaking here and there. So I up the humidity to about 70-80 and kept the tank at 90. it helped alot as I saw major improvements and his nostroils were cleared up . Of coarse having this appointment made already for today I decided to go. He said Yolli was healthy and fine. He did some test as far as testing limps and check shell hardness and stomach and said everything was fine. Well today at 11pm I heard a loud squeak from the tank. Immediately ran to check on Yolli. he was opening his mouth and even looking up at me for help so I took him out of the enclosure and all of sudden he went completely limp as he was dying his eyes were wide open and limpness . I started crying and almost gave up bc he looked dead. I decided to give him a warm bath and he slowly came back, he wasnt keeping his head up and I had to hold his shell to keep him from potentially letting his head sink in for too long. Right now hes resting in his enclosure. Im not sure if he is going to make it. But advice asap would be appreciated . I have humidity at 50-70 with it at 85 right now since the CHE night lamp is on. I feed him nopal and clovers and tortoise food from the pet store flunkers buffet feed. Im beyond mad as I feel like this VET didnt really know what he was talking about. Heres the website he gave me that has different info.
