Hi there,
Help needed!!
I use black soil (mix with coconut coil) as substrate for my outdoor housing (in the balcony)
I noticed most of the time the humidity is above 80%.
May I know how to reduce the humidity as I read somewhere it is better to keep it between 50 - 70&.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, I noticed the right & left cheeks of my 2 star tortoise looks like skin being peeled off from the flesh --> reddish Is it some kind of disease? Also the female will make some kind of soft noice & also noise which sounds like blowing out air from the noise. Why is it so? I am bringing them to see a vet soon just to be safe. Cheers..

My female star is suffering from splayed legs. Will it affect her in terms of breeding? Can this problem be rectified? I heard that I will need to feed her with high calcium diet daily..

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Nov 9 2012, 07:22 PM) Depends on lots of stuff !! If curved bone or " older " specimen involved damage may or most likely permanent !! If permanent , high calcium only stop it from getting worse but can't improve it !! Cheers Thank you, Sam. I will post up the picture soon. Please advice me on it..
