Turtles and tortoises are some of the most commonly kept reptiles in the world, so as you can imagine we see a lot of them as an unusual pet vet. They are also some of the most commonly kept animals that require a great deal of care and attention. Housing turtles and tortoises can be an easy process but when getting a pet tortoise you must understand their needs and take them into account. When it comes to your pet turtle, keep in mind that reptiles need a place to hide and feel secure, so providing them with plenty of places for this behaviour is essential. Tortoises and turtles need a warm environment in order to regulate their body temperature. They also need a clean environment to avoid getting sick. This means that you will need to provide a suitable environment for your pet tortoise or turtle. This includes providing a well-ventilated enclosure (with sufficient hiding places) and maintaining it between 28 – 30 degrees celsius. The temperature should be carefully monitored with thermometers at both ends of the tank. For pet turtles, the enclosure should be cleaned at least once a week and the water changed every three days. One of the most important things to remember is that turtles and tortoises should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This can lead to sunburn and other health problems. If your pet seems lethargic or isn’t eating like usual, it may be a sign that something is wrong and they should be seen by an experienced reptile vet.
