@Jodie - Thanks so much for sharing the photo... I guess I have plans this weekend! Lol And I must say that you either have one very well trained Sulculta or that wire fence I see is purely decorative! lol. Thanks again.

@Tom - Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any photos of your in ground soaking tubs? How deep would you recommend any type of pond/container be? Thanks again!

Moose is our 24 year old male Sulculta that we adopted almost 8 years ago. He is active and happy as the "Owner" of 1/2 acre backyard that he free ranges on 24 hours/day with a great above ground enclosure... However, he does not have a true "Soaking pond." Moose does have a small "Kiddie Pool"...

@ALDABRAMAN - I tried to send you a direct message but keep receiving a "Server error." Can you provide me a direct email address to attempt again? Thanks in advance.

Thank you Ken for your comments - No harm done with your reposting.

Can you provide any pictures and background on your Sulculta? How long have you had him? I would have great interest if you were willing to ship to Texas (costs I would support) if I felt comfortable with his current health and background. I have a 24 year old male that our family has had for...

Moose is approximately 24 years old. We were fortunate enough to be able to add him to our family about 7 years ago. Thanks!

Thank you all for the advice and references to previous topic strings. This forum and its members are so helpful and appreciated! Tomorrow I will be trimming Moose's beak!

Moose is a 24 year old Sulculta, very happy, healthy eating habits and no sign of pain or discomfort BUT as the picture shows he is forming an "Overgrown" beak that I would like some advice on - can anyone provide me any feedback on what is seen, what causes it and how to correct it if needed? I...

After almost 7 years of contentment with his above ground "Home," I came home after work one evening to find to my surprise that Moose had decided he needed a new "Summer home" underground! He built his first underground burrow and within 24 hours it was almost 9' long! He now has a winter and...

Enjoying the summer with the entire family! Moose is great with our children and loves to be center of attention. Our children at the same time are learning great discipline and respect for the unique family member we have and are very anxious to educate their friends every time they visit.

Moose enjoying a summer treat with my son!

Moose enjoying the leftovers from Thanksgiving 2016...

Yvonne - Thank you for your reply and advice! I never thought shell conditioner was a required care task for my "Moose" but questioned if it offered an overall benefit of any kind or added comfort to an adult sulculta. With your feedback I will now think less about this topic and consider all...

I will add another question to the original: Any recommendation on a power supply with thermostat with wifi and smart "app" access? Being in Texas, our "Winter" weather is unpredictable at best and creates paranoia as a happy owner of an adult sulculta that I am maintaining a stable temperature...

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a tortoise shell conditioner that is sold in larger containers than 2.5 oz? With an adult Sulcata tortoise in the 175 lb range this size doesn't seem to fit the application! Lol. On the same topic - are there any opinions on how often a conditioner should be...

I have had Moose for almost 5 years and he has always been a pleasant boy to be around but every May I can see a change in his natural behaviors as they become almost "Hyper" for about a weeks period each year - from my research and some common sense I attribute this excitement to a mating...

This is a great conversation... As I have been contemplating if and when we should add another member to our family of 1 male Sulcata - "Moose" is about 22 years old and 150#. We have greatly enjoyed our experience with Moose for the past 5 years and I feel confident that he is enjoying himself...

Great video... Was the weight ever specified on the largest Sulcata in the video?
