Dear Tom,
Thanks to this forum I've learnt alot about tortoise care. I always see you giving great advice, knowing your experience with tortoises. I'm dealing with a sick/weak tortoise. Even after the vet visit I'm still stressed. Hopefully you could help me out with some feedback and tips. I would really appriciate it.
Hi Tom I'm rite in the middle of a few modifications to my table,I have just got t5 to replace the old t8 and wasn't sure of a safe distance as it doesn't tell u on box,can u help,my table is 18 inch high 4ftlong
I saw you mention in a post about Geoclemys Hamiltonii and was wondering if you still have connections to someone that has these that they are selling within CA of course.
Hi Tom, I am very new to tortoise raising and have adopted a Sulcata that was going to be left. She is awesome and I have gotten some great info from your posts. (especially the food one) I am going to make a new home for her and I am trying to figure out what soil to use for it. I would like to plant some of the foods you mention all the time (the flowers and grass) but I am not sure what would be both.
Hi Tom
I'm in a similar climate. Near Morocco, Tenerife. I put details re humidity, hours of sun etc. I have a Russian, 1 now after advice from the forum. Need help re keeping her outside I read your articles. Plants, hibernation etc. I'm in a desert so was going to use soil and gravel Sand stone. Not the wood/bark I want to hose it clean. I'm interested in your views. You were especially recommended. Bye 4 now. M
Hello Tom, I have read nothing but good things about your torts and the methods you use to raise them. I am looking for my second sulcata but want to make sure it comes from a reputable breeder. Do you have any available, or can recommend me to a good breede? I live in TX, DFW area.
Could one replace calcium powder with cuttlefish bone? Also if it's windy but around 25 Celsius can my 1 yr old Leopard be kept outside? Recently built an outdoor enclosure. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Help!! I have a baby sulcata about 4 mos old. Her eyes are constantly closed unless we are soaking her. For a week now she has stopped eating has less energy. We were feeding her spring mix, collard greens, cherry tom. and carrots. Her habitat is a terrarium with reptibark and reptisand. Temp 70-85 F H 40-60%. Soaks daily 15-20 min. Any ideas as to what we are doing wrong?
Hi Tom, I'm new in this Forum, may I know how big is your biggest Babcocki? I just purchased one from the local store here in my country. So maybe if you can share some growth chart of babcocki and how big can they get, it'd be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Tom, Id like to discuss my Sulcata Sandy with you. Im unsure how to use this site to write an email. Ive seen his vet 3 times these last 2 day. We've done x-rays ,shots and much more. The bill is way up there. I also took advice from one of your postings and bought food from a suggested tortoise online supplier. Anyways. Let me know how I can write on the current situation and get your thoughts. Thanks
Hi Tom I just recently got my Sulcata hatchling and I was wondering if you use a fogger or mister in your hatchling enclosures? I read most of your threads but haven't found anything on misters yet. Thanks!
