Hello from Tx!

[Kelly M.]

I am excited to be part of the group. I will be receiving my sulcate tortoise this weekend. I'm doing tons of research and this group is the best. Thanks again for including me!

Hello and welcome

I recommend you read the TFO care guides if you haven't already and take them as gospel.

They're written by species experts working hard to correct the outdated information widely available on the internet and from pet stores and, sadly, from some breeders and vets too.

For those that have a young Sulcata

We are more than happy to check over photos of your enclosure and lighting to spot any problems.

And we’re more than happy to be asked before you buy things. Pet stores are in the business of selling. What they sell isn’t necessarily suitable for tortoises even if has a picture of a tortoise on it. That’s why we’re here
