I noticed this today and I have no clue what it is.
Annabella (my 5 year old red footed tort) is new to me & is my first tortoise.
So while I'm posting this thread i will ask a few questions about other topics such as her temp house and her skin.
First off I'm asking every one what they think this spot is on her neck?
it kinda looks like a growth of some sort. I'm really worried about this if I need to find a vet i will but it will be a couple weeks before ill have the cash to take her.
Second the substrate I'm using is
"top soil dirt" from Walmart
& coconut fiber from Eco earth
She is in a kitty pool for a couple weeks to a month
I have a kitten so I have a ferret playpen around the kitty pool to keep the cat out and to clamp the lights on.
I spray it 3 times a day with a spray bottle
I'm using a red basting heat lamp until tomorrow it's 150w
Tomorrow I'm getting a second clamp lamp with a
Heat emitter 100w
Basking spot light 100w
How far do you think I should put the lights away from the substrate?
are these
And LOL my questions got deleted and now I can't remember what else to ask :-/
So for now thats it and I will add more as I remember.
ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD
Her breathing is loud at times not wheezing just heavy
Is this normal????
