How is your tortoise now? Are you looking for a new home? Have your circumstances changed? I can answer any questions?

Another idea
by: LORRAINE

Get your tortoise help right away. Or give him to a person that can look after him and who will get him the help he needs. BEFORE YOU LOOSE HIM!!

Lorriane,

I have taken out the part of your answer that would offend someone. Your suggestion is a good one. The original wording was not as helpful.

He needs antibiotics! If there is an animal shelter or turtle/tortoise rescue nearby, perhaps they will help?
Try to get help right away! Good Luck!

YOur pet really should see a vet. At the very least, you need to be providing proper lighting and nutrition. The substrate should also be what is recommended for your type of tortoise.
