Hi,
I have been noticing that the back leg and tail area of my tortoise is getting really dark this past 2 weeks.
I have attached some pictures for reference. I also attached one picture to show how the head area color is really light.
I'm using reptibark for the substrate and humidity is 95% in the enclosure and 100% in the humid hide where the tortoise sleeps every night.
Temperature is always above 82 and reached 92 during the day.
I have been trying to keep the substrate damp, if the top looks dry I have been spraying it. I'm afraid I might have kept the top substrate too damp.
The tortoise is otherwise healthy, active, eating and growing well.
Do you know if this is an issue?
Thank you!
