I recently picked up an adult male Redfoot Tortoise at a local reptile show. He was sick there and it broke my heart. I think he has a respiratory problem, however I am unfamiliar with treating these problems in a red foot. I have never had that problem with any tortoise that I've owned. Basically he sneezes a lot and has watery eyes on occasion. I have given him two separate heat spots with varying degrees of heat. He has a humidity hide box also. He regulates his temperatures just fine and I feed him properly. Does anyone have any suggestions to help make him feel better? I am not experienced with Redfoots. Only Pancakes.



Thanks,
