    I already know. They can die like that. Don't need to attack me.
    I don't own a tortoise but this popped up in my feed. I own a baby common snapper. His name is Barbosa. He's 2 inches long. He's adorable and looks like a Dragon.

    so im thinking of getting one but im in a colder climate so will i have to constantly use a heat lamp and also do you have to add humidity to the whole area or just a part of it

    • @ShadowsReptiles
      @ShadowsReptiles  2 года назад +1

      I like to spray down the whole enclosure one or twice a day and keep a part of it constantly moist and letting it dry out maybe once a weeks just make sure it doesn’t get moldy. I recommend a smaller species for colder climates so they’re easier to manage. I have Russian tortoises but they’re adults they stay around 8 inches and redfoots I have babies available and they get up to 13 usually but there can be bigger males either way much easier than a full grown Sulcata.

      @@ccharraf look this is what I found With some tortoises, a potential cause of closed eyes is lack of humidity. In the Hermann species, this is unlikely to be the problem as these tortoises are from the dry Mediterranean and cope well with our climate. It is most likely to be an issue with her housing.
