hi every tortoise lovers, i m new here n needed help with my new baby sulcata tortoise. i named him/her Bubble. i guess it is a he now...
Bubble is born in 2012, i think is about 7 months old thats what i estimated, weights about 130 grams about 4 inches.
i got some questions about baby sulcatas sleepings behaviors. because i just noticed my bubble breathing heavily n kind of moving the arms n head when he is sleeping because i can see the substance in front of he moving as it breaths. is it normal for any baby sulcatas to do that while sleeps?
here is his encloser info, i put him in a large storage container maybe as 30 to 40 gallon tank with eco earth coco fiber with a hide spot n a little pot tray thing for water n soaks. i use a 150w heat lamp on one side, the hot side is around 80 with 90 - 100 hot spot n the cold side around 70 with a hide box. n also the humidity in the encloser is around 50-60 most of the time. i also has a uv light on about 12 hours a day, after i turn it off i use my night light also with 150w bulb.
i live in san francisco n the weather is a little colder now.
plz let me know how you guys think !!!
