Hi Guys, my Shellie is 2 yrs old and recently started peeing up storm inside and at the entrance to her night hide where she always sleeps. I know this is normal behavior for them to raise humidity in their sleep chamber, but Shellie's ambient humidity inside that hide has always been in low 90's %. She just turned 2, measures 8" and weighing in few oz over 3 lbs, very active and curious, eating machine with healthy skin/scales and shell hard as a rock. She had NEVER peed/pooped inside of her bedtime quarters. All that had always been done either outside or during daily bath. She still does go outside and in her bath but also manages to soak the substrate on that side of the tank, like... sitting in WET SOGGY substrate inside her hide where she always sleeps. Worried about shell rot I have already replaced it twice and it didn't take her long to soak the new one. @ZEROPILOT, @Anyfoot, @Yvonne G, @ MPRC, @allegraf, @pfara (wish there was a look up feature here for user names, I can never remember them) I have never dealt with anything other than baby tort. Isn't my Shellie too young to be displaying "coming of age" behaviors? I don't think this is sign of physical illness it just looks too consistent, much like a behavior pattern. Or... do they get diabetes or antidiuteric hormone problems???? She does drink water daily like she's always done but not to the excess! Not anymore than Tucker and he is just same as always (pee/poo outside and in bath). Btw Shellie only sleeps in that tank at night, I bring her in after all day outside in the big tortoise garden. Can someone tell me what approximate age of RF puberty is. Again, I think she's way too young for that, but then again I don't have a clue. Should I worry about Shellie? What's your experience with juvenile RF female like that? Can you point me to any resources where i could read/educate/prep myself for what's likely to come? Please?....
