Hello everyone!
I found my red foot tortoise about 4.5 years ago when he was just a baby, since then he seems to have developed quite a significant amount of pyramiding. After all of the research I’ve done, it seems to me the only explanation to it is the lack of humidity he is getting since he lives primarily inside. I am already getting moss and a heat lamp to help, but I’m still so worried. I’ve really done all I can to give him the best life! I’ve also created an enclosure outside that I let him stay in for most of the day.
I guess my main question/concern is if he’ll still live a long life? Is he in pain at all? Does anyone else have a red-foot that looks like mine?
please help?
