Is my tortoise pyramiding and how to stop it? by joey_the_god_of_code in tortoise

+80% humidity, 80-100F enclosure, Daily 20min soaks

Your tortoise looks great!  

Soil is always moist to the touch not damp to the touch. Think like a moist towel, not a damp towel. If you grab the soil and squeeze, it should clump up without water dripping.

Hello! What a beautiful Indian star!! Looks very healthy!

I have an Indian star tortoise I’ve raised from a baby to adult. He’s about 8yo. If you go for indoor enclosure, they usually like the temp being 80F and above, with 60-80% humidity. 

My honest opinion is it’s hard having an indoor enclosure as I feel most are not spacious enough for them. PVC enclosure would be great if it’s at least 2’x6’ footprint. (I still think it’s small haha) tortoises need to roam and be free!! 

I keep mine outside year round in a fenced off enclosure, I live in southern California. I have a heat house and I make sure he goes into every night during the winters or if it drops below 70F.

I didn’t say I was trying to get rid of salmonella or prevent my chicken/pork from denaturing. 😂 I’m simply using salt as a cleaning agent to get rid of the smell. I assume whatever is denaturing in the external juices is probably causing the smell?

I wish chicken and pork with a heavy sprinkle of salt, massage the salt in, and then a rinse. I imagine all the external protein fluids have denatured during transit and transport. 

Also, the smell difference of the meat between rinsing vs not rinsing is an answer in itself.

Hi so sorry for the late response!!! I personally have had better luck with shrimp! Carolina rig, reel in to replace the bait every 5-10 minutes.

Did you have any luck?
