: The white stuff is normal - called urates...
: Here is a link to Tortoise Trust's FAQ and explanation of urates.

: As far as being lethargic, can you tell us about how it it kept?
: Diet, enclosure, lighting, substrate, temps, etc.

: Have there been any recent changes to anything?

I keep her (him?) in a 15 gallon tank with a heating pad and a uv full spectrum light. It is getting pretty hot here now so I limit the time I turn on the heat lamp. I am feeding her mustard greens and turnip greens and I try to soak her often. Also she sleeps a lot. Is this normal? I think she is only around 8 weeks old. Thanks
