In Reply to: Little Worried about New Egyptian Tort posted by Matt on September 24, 2001 at 15:30:08:
: I just got a pair of 6 month old egyptians on last Friday. One of
: them is constantly up and running about, checking everything out and
: trying to climb things, and eating several times a day. The other
: one however, simply sits in her/his shell and rarely comes out on
: his/her own. When the head does come out, the eyes are allways
: closed, very rarely opens them. I soaked both of them for about a
: half hour the day I got them, and I soaked the sleepy one the second
: day to see if it would perk it up. Afterwords it ate, a decent
: ammount, and then went back to sleep. It hasen't eaten since. The
: eyes are fine on it, when they are open, and they are neither sunken
: in or puffy at all. Physicly the tortoise appears fine, but it's
: behavior seems odd to me. This is my first experiance with Egyptians
: however, so maybe the active one is the oddball and the sleepy one is
: behaving like most of them do. I also own an Indian Star and two
: Russians, so I do have a fair ammount of experiance with tortoises,
: just want to know if I have something I should be worrying about or
: not. The temps are 85-90 on the hot end, and in the cool end 75 to 80, probally cooler in their hide since it is blocked from light, but the one I am worried about allways just sits and sleeps in the hot end anyway. Both of their shells are firm and not soft at all. Thanks in advance!
