Meet Clyde....our "rescue" Sulcata. Steve, his "father", and I live in San Jose, CA. (Greeting from Silicon Valley!) We found him last summer ago hiking up the trail we were hiking down. Needless to say, he came home with us. He escaped and was gone for a few months but was returned to us. He lives outside in our huge enclosed garden to prevent his escaping again. He literally comes running up to us when we're in his garden and loves his neck rubbed. We feed him spring mix and Mazuri Tortoise pellets. I've got some TNT on order after reading about on this forum. My question is this: today I noticed some "clouding" on his shell along with some whitish looking stuff near the edges. It may be nothing more than I'm a worried new mom. It's been exceptionally rainy here so he's spends time in his house. We have a hole cut out of the top of his house with a heat lamp sitting above the hole that we turn on when it's cold. In between the rain, it's been warm so the lamp has been off. Is it nothing? Is his shell dried out? Thoughts please.
