Hey everyone, my 6 year old leopard tortoise managed to escape his outdoor enclosure yesterday (I have already fixed it, he won't escape again), and I wasn't able to find him until this morning. He was out all night with temps in the low 40s, and very low humidity. I immediately brought him inside with his heater and humidifier, he's been in there for a couple hours and is still pretty lethargic, or possibly just still freaked out. I'm trying to keep as close an eye on him as possible, while letting him rest as much as he needs, and I do know how to recognize the signs of respiratory problems. Is there anything specific I need to look for? Should I take him to the vet? I mean, I know when in doubt, vet is always good, but it's also expensive and if it's not necessary I'd rather save the money. Thanks so much!
