The hot side of the tank is kept at around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. He is eating well and very livley. He has the bubbly nose for about 2 months now. I've brought him to the doctor a few times. First they gave him shots then after, the bubbly nose went away but it's back. He is on a diet of romaine lettuce, bermuda hay and komoda tortoise food, he also frequently chews on a turtle bone and is bathed daily.


Thanks

well to start with 80f = about 26c which is far to low , needs to be 34c basking temp during the day and 20c plus during the night , your tortoise needs a course of baytryl antibiotic given daily for 10 days, my advice would be to see a vet for this. Although you could try increasing the temps and see if it clears up first.
