He moves into the cooler/bedroom area (if you like) after a few hours and sleeps for a bit longer, then wander around and sip some water then slob again. Also, sometimes before the slob action he stand rocking back and too ever so slightly on his front legs.
If I let him out onto my desk he explores and even runs like a nutter if a tort can be described as running like a nutter.
He is eating ok, and drinks in his bath every morning. He is 90mm x 120g.
Any feedback will be greatfully received  |
Slobbing is a tortoise actually basking, which is what they do all the time.
All normal.
They get all their UV through the skin, so it all hangs out:0)
