I recently got a russian tortoise about 2 days ago at a reptile show. He seemed healthy when I got him and his basking temps are 95 and the cool end is 72 during the day. He was first on cypress mulch and this morning I noticed he would not open his eyes and a bubble was coming out of his nose. I was thinking it was the cypress mulch. I removed it the moment that happend and I soaked him, thinking it was a respitory infection. Well, after soaking him he became much more active.
He still eats alot. and i mean ALOT! right now his substrate is peat moss. he seems all better now but everynow and then he makes this noise as if he had a stuffy nose. As I type he is munching on romaine. I would like to know what is wrong. Also, how moist should the peat moss be?
thanks
