Welcome, Ricky!!


Your tank is much too small for two baby sulcatas. You can go to a home improvement store and purchase a very large plastic tub, which would be better than an l aquarium, and much cheaper (even with your pet store discount :p )

Please read all the stickys at the top of the sulcata section. We have some new info on how to take care of baby sulcatas that will help you grow them up smooth and healthy.

Hello Ricky. I spent some time in Slidell a couple of years ago. Got family in Minden.

There are all sort of links in my signature for baby sulcata care, if you are interested.

Hi Ricky! I am originally from west baton rouge, Louisiana but now in Yuma, Arizona due to husband being in the military. I found this site because I wanted to raise my baby sulcatas right. It's a great site, the best I have found in my hours if Internet searching! You will find what you need here, or just ask. Everyone always seems to want to help! Btw, welcome!

Hello and Welcome:) the threads at the bottom of my post are also Toms. One of the best ways to raise a healthy, smooth sulcata.

Welcome!

Just when I thought I knew what I was doing with my tortoises, I found this site.
I am addicted to it! I love learning and must say; it really makes sense.
The people on this site have all of the answers through many years of experience.
It sounds like you definitely love animals!
Enjoy everything this forum has to offer!
Welcome!:)
