I have a closed enclosure, maintaining 75% humidity and 95F on the basking / hot side.

Is the white in the first picture shell rot?

I also use an AC Humidifier with tap water. I will be switching to distilled water, as I did read it could be minerals that may have detrimental effects.

Anything for my tort. Thank you for reading and your time

Random: one can almost make out the letters AG on the torts head 😛

Hi! I got a juvenile red foot tortoise a week ago and I have some questions I’m hoping to get clarity on!

What’s a good area temperature wise to place the food slate? Should it be directly under the basking area?

How do you prevent over feeding with a juvenile?

Picture 1.
Is this shell rot on its left-centered plastron shell piece?

Picture 2, 4, and 5
I have trouble identifying early signs of pyramiding. Are there any?

Picture 3.
Are poops normally so huge? He pooped two days ago and it was maybe 3/4 the size of this one.

Thank you for your time!!
