I don’t see them..??
Ok, I been soaking him!You should get the eye drops the dentist Zovick told you to get. Seems like your tort has an upper respiratory infection if you saw bubbles coming out of his nose? You put them in his eyes and nose. You’ve gotten a lot of advice and this may have been missed along the lines. You need to increase his heat also and give warm soaks every day for 30 minutes.
I followed this advice and my tort responded without needing a vet. I would also change the bulbs and get rid of the plastic but if you saw nasal discharge than I would say that’s your answer!
80-90 FYes , I agree. I would trust these guys first before going to the vet. What about the temperature? What do you keep it at?
Do you rub your eyes????I catch him rubbing his his eyes from time to time! At least once a day!!
When you ask a question of most of us, you are given the name of whatever product and maybe a link. Read everything WE post to YOU, read carefully and all the info is there.I don’t keep track on the number postings!

What’s the best brand for torts?
Buy from AMAZONOk, I been soaking him!
Im already fixing the hide thing...I’m working on getting his enclosure fixed up with the Multch, over the coco coir!
I haven’t disclosed what zovick suggested at all! I reached out to a friend vet to see if I can get it without taking him in! Nobody here in Las Vegas carry these drops..they need to be ordered! I currently don’t have funds right now for a vet visit either or want to risk taking him anywhere since not many know of exotic animals!!
Snap!This is a reach, but if his green hide is plastic, it may be off-gassing because of the heat lamp. Replace the green hide with something natural or inert - wood, ceramic, cardboard, etc.
That's pretty hot for a full grown Russian tortoise. It should be 100F or so directly under the light, fading to room temperature on the ends of the enclosure. Room temperature is usually in the 70's.80-90 F
hahaha - I now see you suggested that yesterday. I have a feeling that's itSnap!
