Hi have had my tortoise for about 3 weeks now and we had her in a vivarium but found out that was no good so I changed that today. She had only been in it a couple of hours but she keeps sneezing? There is no discharge and her nose seems to be fine. She has a health check at the vets in the morning but I was wondering if anyone could help me now?

Try misting your top soil. That should help minimize dust and spores. What is the temperature range and the humidity?


It's also advised that your basking light point straight down.

We have been misting the top soil and she has been fine since her temp under the lamp is 30 to 32 and everywhere else is roughly about 20 and her humidity is about 50 to 60% took her to the vets today and they said she is in excellent shape and condition so I'm over the moon :)
