    Sulcatas for adoption

    You need to get them separated ASAP. Never in pairs. Also can you get them on orchid bark or fir bark and each in its own much bigger enclosure. That is quite sad how small that enclosure looks and two in it. That food also is not suitable. Get them some orchard grass hay, cactus pads...

    New wooden enclosure for my redfoots

    Yeah I couldn't tell for sure if that was getting filter uvb or not. Pothos, Boston ferns, hibiscus, grape, hosta to name a few that you could try planting.

    You need to post more about your Rads. We usually don't get to see adults at the size of yours. Didn't even realize they got that big. Beautiful!

    New wooden enclosure for my redfoots

    It looks very nice. However, tortoises should not be housed in pairs Uvb will not go thru glass and is almost all block when going thru fine mesh screen Temps should be held between 80-86, around 84-86 being best. I see no heat or lights.

    Newbie - Advice Appreciated!

    Welcome If you get a hatchling, it needs to be housed indoors in a closed chamber high humidity enclosure for approximately 3 years. During those three years or so it can have short visits outside Once it's big enough then it can live outside in a safe enclosure. Do not let it roam the yard...

    Old Russian tortoise peeing brown/yellow and sneezing with bubbles

    For the occasional sneeze and bubbles, you can play it safe and bump up the night temps to 75-80 for a while and see if that takes care of it Can't really see anything with the poop liquid. Possibly parasites. Take a stool sample in to a reptile vet. Call them first if you don't already have...

    Sulcata Humidity

    A sulcata should never be kept in temps under 80 as a young one. You need to get that night temp up ASAP or you will have a sick tortoise on your hands.
