Hi Guys! Im new to this forum and find it pretty awesome that so many have tortoises. My 13th year old son purchased a hatchling for his birthday and Ive grown to love the little guy...He did have a respiratory infection and we took him to the vet and he seems to be all better now. He tends to move his head and front legs in and out when I talk to him. pick him up or put him in his bath (kind of seems like he does it all the time accept for when he's just sitting or sleeping. Im hoping its not due to another RI. He does stop though...Any clue on what it is?
Also, He tends to sleep alot in his habitiat... Can it be too hot or boring?I seem to have to wake him to eat or bathe. Very rare do I seem him just walking around. We try to get him outside often, but its been cold in TX for him lately.. Oh and I hardly seem him bask?? I appreciate all and any response. Thanks..Im attaching some pics of him ..
